PURPOSE To determine if tangent visual fields gathered during assessment of superior visual field deficits caused by blepharoptosis and dermatochalasis offer good correlation to clinical exam in a time and cost efficient manner. METHODS Prospective, observational case series. Subjects included all patients referred to a single surgeon (CCN) who underwent surgical correction of blepharoptosis ...

In their article " Anthropometry of the Eyelid and Palpebral Fissure in an Indian Population, " Dr. Patil et al establish normal periorbital anthropometric values for a population that has not been studied to a great degree in the oculoplastic surgery literature. Their study included 216 male and female patients, 16 to 60 years old. Digital image analysis was prospectively performed to measure ...

Passive continental margin subsidence is initiated by the synrift mechanical stretching of the lithospheric upper brittle layer and continues during the postrift phase; the thermal cooling and contraction of the upwelled asthenosphere forces the margin to subside in addition to the overloads from sea water and sediments. Therefore, the total subsidence in stretched basins includes faultcontroll...

Background & Objectives:To study the most precise location, shape and direction of infraorbital foramen in dry human skulls, in relation to Infraorbital Margin, Piriform Aperture(PA) and Upper Alveolar Margin(AM). Method: A total of one hundred dry human skulls of unknown gender were measured using digital calliper with Infraorbital Margin, Piriform Margin and Alveolar Margin as reference point...

PURPOSE This in vitro study evaluated and compared the vertical marginal gap of cast and milled full coverage gold copings using two margin designs (chamfer and chamfer bevel) before and after fitting adjustments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten impressions were made of two metal master dies (one chamfer margin, one chamfer-bevel margin) and poured twice in Type IV stone. The 20 subsequent casts wi...

Warren, Young, and Lee (1986) found that treadmill runners control step length by regulating vertical impulse, which could be modulated by the optical time-to-contact variable tau. In contrast, Patla, Robinson, Samways, and Armstrong (1989) report a 40% contribution of horizontal impulse in overground running and a control strategy that depends on the timing of target cuing, undermining the tau...
