Abstract Maxillary Herpes Zoster (HZ) is rare. Trigeminal HZ most frequently involves the ophthalmic division. Partial or complete ophthalmoplegia is a well-known complication of ophthalmic HZ, and Horner’s syndrome has been previously reported. To our knowledge, simultaneous sixth nerve palsy and Horner’s syndrome complicating maxillary HZ in which the ophthalmic division was spared has not ...

An analysis of the referral routes of Southampton Eye Hospital of 191 patients who had been diagnosed as having chronic open-angle glaucoma showed that 121 patients (63.4%) were diagnosed as a result of the patient seeking advice for ocular symptoms (118) or because they had a family history of glaucoma (3). Advice had been sought from general practitioners (48), ophthalmic medical practitioner...

It is shown that a hyperbolic knot in the 3-sphere admits at most nine integral surgeries yielding 3-manifolds which are reducible or whose fundamental groups are not infinite word-hyperbolic.

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to assess the frequency and pattern of ophthalmic tumours in Northern Pakistan. METHODS This study included all ophthalmic tumours diagnosed during a one year period (January to December 1992). RESULTS One hundred and fourteen ophthalmic tumours were diagnosed at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) and Pathology Department of the Army Medi...

OBJECTIVE Ophthalmic complications are common in acute GCA. Do temporal artery ultrasound and clinical parameters correlate with the occurrence and severity of ophthalmic complications? METHODS The results of temporal artery ultrasound examinations are compared with the occurrence of anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AION), central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), branch retinal artery occ...

Ophthalmic nurses make up 90% of all eye workers in Botswana’s public sector, and they are the only eye professionals being trained inside the country. In 2010, there were 88 ophthalmic nurses working in the public sector. The majority (74) were in primary and secondary care settings where they functioned independently under the supervision of general (non-ophthalmic) facility and department ma...

eration of primary care ophthalmologists. This could share some modules with ophthalmic surgical training, but would concentrate on developing areas such as teaching skills, epidemiology, population based research and management skills to a higher level than is usually attained in ophthalmic surgical training. It is difficult to guess what effect the impending changes in the way clinical servic...

PURPOSE To evaluate the ophthalmic artery hemodynamics in patients with chronic heart failure. METHODS Doppler parameters of ophthalmic artery of 18 patients with chronic heart failure in different stages of the disease were compared with 21 healthy volunteers (control group). These parameters were also correlated with echocardiographic assessments and clinical cardiologic status. RESULTS M...

Peter Parker (1804-1888), a Yale University--trained missionary and physician, founded the first Western-style hospital in China, the Ophthalmic Hospital in Canton (now known as Guangzhou), on November 4, 1835. During its first 3 months, Parker treated 1061 patients, of whom 1020 (96.1%) had ocular illnesses. Since then, the Ophthalmic Hospital in Canton has become a comprehensive institution t...

In this study, a new approach based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was presented for detection of ophthalmic artery stenosis. Decision making was performed in two stages: feature extraction using the wavelet transform (WT) and the ANFIS trained with the backpropagation gradient descent method in combination with the least squares method. The ophthalmic arterial Doppler signals...
