Orbital pseudotumor is a benign disease involving the orbital structures. Pseudotumor of the ciliary body is rare. We present a case of a 27-year-old male who presented with gradual visual loss, pain, and redness in his left eye. On examination he was found to have a yellowish white mass at the periphery of anterior chamber in his left eye and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed a ciliary b...

Ocular manifestations in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) are relatively frequent, with a major prevalence of the Keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Nevertheless, the appearance of unilateral exophthalmos secondary to orbital pseudotumor in patients with SLE is extremely rare,1-7 and on occasion it can be refractory to conventional pharmacological treatment (glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants). ...

An autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) patient with metachronous and multiple extrapancreatic lesions is reported. Initial symptoms were proptosis, oculomotor deficits, and a visual field deficit of the left eye, and swelling of bilateral lacrimal glands. Swelling of the right salivary gland and elevated serum levels of hepatobiliary enzymes were detected. AIP associated with IgG4-related orbital pse...

Ocular manifestations in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) are relatively frequent, with a major prevalence of the Keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Nevertheless, the appearance of unilateral exophthalmos secondary to orbital pseudotumor in patients with SLE is extremely rare(1-7), and on occasion it can be refractory to conventional pharmacological treatment (glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants)...

We report multicasting data from a single orbital angular momentum (OAM) spatial channel onto multiple OAM channels of equally spaced OAM charge numbers. The designed sliced phase patterns for multicasting are loaded on the spatial light modulator. By optimizing the design of the phase pattern, the power of multicasted OAM channels can be equalized. We experimentally demonstrate multicasting fi...

Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) has broad application in the study of electronic response, excitation and transport. To extend such application to large and complex systems, we develop a reformulation of TDDFT equations in terms of non-orthogonal localized molecular orbitals (NOLMOs). NOLMO is the most localized representation of electronic degrees of freedom and has been used ...

This ISR presents the results of the analysis of NICMOS pointed thermal background data taken as part of the Servicing Mission Orbital Verification (SMOV). Observations in NICMOS Camera 3 are taken at different pointings and analysis of the data shows the HST thermal emission to be fairly stable. Furthermore, data obtained with multiple filters shows no significant differences with the backgrou...

PURPOSE To identify and characterize the MR findings of sarcoidosis when it involves the orbit and visual pathways. METHODS The MR scans of 15 patients, 3 with presumed and 12 with proved orbital or optic pathway sarcoidosis were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Eight patients had MR evidence of optic nerve involvement by sarcoid granuloma. Perineural enhancement was seen in four cases, op...
