Purpose: We report a young patient with unilateral eyelid swelling secondary to local, palpebral conjunctival amyloidosis.Case summary: A 31-year-old male was referred 6-month history of mild, right upper but without redness or tenderness. Slit-lamp examination revealed diffuse hemorrhagic papilliform lesion on the conjunctiva, this raised suspicion giant papillary conjunctivitis. As unilateral...

Introduction:Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are referred to signs and symptoms involving masti‌catory muscles, temporomandibular joint and rele‌vant structures. Having been prevalent noticeably, we decided to evaluate the frequency of TMD, among patients referred to the dental clinic of Guilan university of medical sciences. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a sample of ...

With isolated binocular targets, the best depth discrimination is found in the fixation plane (Blakemore, C., Journal of Physiology 211 (1970) 599). More recent studies have suggested that stereoscopic thresholds are not always a simple function of absolute disparity, but depend on the relative disparities in the stimulus. Here, we explored the effects of relative disparity in more detail, taki...

o bjectives: this study sought to assess distal and lateral forces and moments of asymmetric headgears by variable outer bow lengths. materials and methods : four 3d finite element method (fem) models of a cer- vical headgear attached to the maxillary first molars were designed in solidworks2010 software and transferred to ansys workbench ver. 11 software. modelscontained the first molars, thei...

Twenty eight rabbits were trained to discriminate striated patterns of different orientation, first binocularly, than with each eye separately. There was no evidence of systematic dominance of either the left or the right hemisphere.
