Purpose: Capsular related complications may occur during and/or following cataract s”rPew. Methods: We used endocapsular PUMA rings (EPR) to prevent such complications in eyes with pre or peroperative zonular c’ehiscence, high myopic eyes and eyes witl: exfoliation syndrome which have weak zonoles. EPR can be implanted easily through the phaco-incision before aspiration of the cortex or just be...

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of the vasoconstrictor experimental gingival retraction agents (VEGRAs) in a dynamic setting. The strong cytotoxic effects of the astringent-based conventional gingival retraction agents (ACGRAs) on human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) in vitro was our motivation to evaluate the biocompatibility of the vasoconstrictor-based exper...

In this paper, we propose a vector transport-free stochastic variance reduced gradient (SVRG) method with general retraction for empirical risk minimization over Riemannian manifold. Existing SVRG methods on manifold usually consider a specific retraction operation, and involve additional computational costs such as parallel transport or vector transport. The vector transport-free SVRG with gen...

We report on a 69-year-old patient with post definitive radiochemotherapy (until 04/2013) and tracheostomy closure for T3N2M0 supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma. There is markedly limited elevation cutaneous radiation syndrome, scarring retraction in the area of former pronounced dysphonia.

PURPOSE To evaluate the surgical results of asymmetric bilateral lateral rectus recession in exotropic Duane retraction syndrome with abnormal face turn toward the opposite side according to secondary deviation measurements. METHODS Retrospective chart review. RESULTS Seven cases of unilateral exotropic Duane retraction syndrome were reviewed. All cases had globe retraction on adduction and...

Other names: Schinzel-Giedion syndrome. Note: The use of the long form of the name, SchinzelGiedion midface retraction syndrome, is preferred to prevent confusion with Schinzel ulnar-mammary syndrome, a completely unrelated and clinically nonoverlapping condition also described by Dr Schinzel. Inheritance: Schinzel-Giedion midface retraction syndrome is presumed to be inherited as autosomal rec...

Plus minus lid syndrome is an ocular syndrome characterized by unilateral ptosis and contralateral lid retraction. Also when the ipsilateral lid is raised manually, the contralateral retracted lid does not revert. This patient presented with features of plus minus lid syndrome with ataxia due to a vascular mesencephalic lesion.
