through the lower lid as a distinct swelling which becomes decidedly more prominent when the patient looks upwards. On everting the right lower lid, there is an ovoid cyst-like swelling occupying the middle third of the lower part of the ocular conjunctiva. The growth nearly approaches the fornix. It is somewhat adherent to the over-lying conjunctiva, and moves fairly freely over the sclerotic....

BACKGROUND Early postoperative edema and ecchymosis are the most common factors to complicate initial patient perceptions about rhinoplasty. The current study was conducted to determine the effects of longer steri-strip tape on patient cheek in terms of ecchymosis control and reduction. METHODS Through a randomized controlled clinical trial, 70 patients who underwent rhinoplasty were r...

INTRODUCTION The use of alpha-1a receptor antagonists (tamsulosin) is widely accepted in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). It has previously been implicated as a causative agent in intra-operative floppy iris syndrome due to its effects on the smooth muscle. We report a case of lower lid entropion that may be related to a patient commencing treatment of tamsulosin. CASE PRE...

MANDIBULO-FACIAL dysostosis is the name given by Franceschetti and Zwahlen (1944) and Franceschetti and Klein (1949) to a complex of symptoms which together comprise a congenital oro-facial syndrome (Wildervanck, 1960). Franceschetti and Klein (1949) reviewed the literature and described the typical characteristics of the syndrome as follows: (1) Antimongoloid palpebral fissures with either a n...

BACKGROUND Isolated gastrocnemius contracture is thought to lead to numerous conditions. Although many techniques have been described for gastrocnemius recession, potential anesthetic, cosmetic, and wound-related complications can lead to patient dissatisfaction. Open and endoscopic recession techniques require epidural anesthesia, lower limb ischemia, and stitches and may lead to damage of the...

OF the many methods devised for repair of senile ectropion of the relaxed type, the two most widely used are perhaps the Kuhnt-Szymanowski and the Blaskovicz techniques. The former may be performed in two different ways, according to whether the tarso-conjunctival triangle is excised from the middle third of the lower lid (Meller, 1950), or from its outermost part, near the lateral canthus (Els...

Abstract In this paper, we analyse the flow in a cylindrical cavity of aspect ratio H / R = 2, with top lid rotating sinusoidal time-varying speed. The Reynolds numbers, based on time-averaged speed and radius (Re $$ \Omega _0 R^2/\nu Ω 0 R <m...
