Orbital cellulitis and subperiosteal abscess (SPA) are historically associated with poor outcomes. We seek to characterize current associations formation, surgical failure vision loss.All cases of orbital presenting an affiliated hospital between April 2008 2013 were critically reviewed.Thirty patients met inclusion criteria. Average age was 28.7 ± 24.4. The male female ratio 2:1. Abscesses identified in 56.7% patients. Adults less likely than children present abscesses (28.6% vs. 81.3%, p =...
Human skin aging is associated with functional deterioration on multiple levels of physiology, necessitating the development effective senotherapeutics. The well-tolerated neurohormone melatonin unfolds anti-aging properties in vitro and vivo, but it remains unclear whether these effects translate to aged human ex vivo. We tested this organ-cultured, full-thickness eyelid (5-6 donors; 49-77 years) by adding culture medium, followed assessment core biomarkers via quantitative...

To characterize how ophthalmologists are using social media in their practice. A survey regarding ophthalmologists’ personal and professional use of was distributed online through a university alumni listserv. Data collection occurred over 4 weeks from January to February 2020. In total, 808 opened the email, 160 responded (19.8%). Of respondents, 115 (71.9%) participated for use. Professional noted by 63 (39.4%) respondents.

Purpose: Teprotumumab, an insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor monoclonal antibody, is FDA-approved to treat thyroid eye disease (TED). The initial clinical trials excluded patients with previous orbital irradiation, surgery, glucocorticoid use (cumulative dose >1 gm), or prior biologic treatment. Information on the of teprotumumab for who failed therapy limited. Our purpose characterize efficacy treatment recalcitrant TED. Methods: This a multicenter retrospective study all treated...
Soft tissue fillers are a mainstay in contemporary, minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedures owing to timely results and minimal recovery period. Although associated with low complication rate, soft not without risk. Complications range from mild superficial skin irregularities granuloma formation vascular occlusion leading necrosis or even blindness. Fillers vary composition, elasticity, hydrophilicity duration of effect that is tailored specific cosmetic indications. Selecting the...
In Brief Purpose: To determine if there is a difference in the efficacy of refrigerated (previously reconstituted) versus freshly reconstituted botulinum toxin (Botox Cosmetic, Allergan, Irvine, CA, U.S.A.) treatment lateral periorbital rhytids. Methods: This randomized, double-blind, controlled, prospective study. Participants included individuals who were interested their rhytids (crow's feet) and responded to signs posted ophthalmology clinics at our institution. Patients randomized...
Compare the in vitro efficacy of hypochlorous acid 0.01% (HA), povidone iodine 5% (PI), chlorhexidine gluconate 4% (CHG), and isopropyl alcohol 70% (IPA) against common skin microorganisms.Time-kill studies were conducted methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) epidermidis (MSSE), methicillin-resistant S. (MRSA) (MRSE), Candida albicans, Corynebacterium species (striatum amycolatum), Propionibacterium acnes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pyogenes, capitis,...
Individuals receiving botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injections in the head and neck for migraine treatment have reported decreases photophobia sensations of dryness, independent ocular surface parameters. We hypothesized that patients without but with similar neuropathic-like symptoms would also experience symptomatic improvement periocular BoNT-A injections, changes.We identified four individuals a history neuropathic pain (symptoms burning, were out proportion to findings unresponsive ongoing...
A 16-year-old adolescent girl with multiple risk factors for thrombosis presented acute onset of headache, decreased vision, and papilledema. Evaluation demonstrated cerebral venous (CVT) involving the left transverse sigmoid sinuses internal jugular vein. Following bilateral optic nerve sheath fenestration (ONSF), she experienced improvement in vision resolution In selected cases, ONSF is an effective surgical option treatment papilledema due to CVT after medical has failed.
To demonstrate the success rate of three-snip punctoplasty (TSP) for treatment punctual stenosis and to evaluate need additional after TSP.A retrospective chart review was conducted all patients undergoing TSP by a single surgeon at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute from January 1, 2006 2010. Outcome measures include persistence symptomatic epiphora, surgical interventions, postoperative time required until complete resolution symptoms achieved.Primary resulted in an 86% with epiphora without...
Cicatricial ectropion and periocular scarring can cause significant functional cosmetic deficits. Surgical treatments be associated with recicatrization, donor site morbidity, textural pigmentary abnormalities. This case series reports on efficacy safety of a novel nonsurgical approach to treating cicatricial using ablative fractional laser resurfacing laser-assisted delivery 5-fluorouracil.A retrospective review was conducted all patients at single institution who received ≥3 rounds...
