A random home visit search investigated the prevalence and predictors of Dry Eye (DE) symptoms in Brazil. Through visits to 420 urban 180 rural residences countryside Southeast Brazil, Disease Short Questionnaire (DEDSQ) was applied volunteers 40 years older. The predictive value DEDSQ risk factors were investigated. DE is more frequent population (38.1 % vs. 20 %; p < 0.0001) higher females (37.5 21.5 0.0001). In area, associated with dyslipidemia (p 0.0001), visual display terminal use > 2...
Objective To investigate the surgical and audiological outcomes in adult bone-anchored hearing system (BAHS) users who underwent implantation using a minimally invasive, single-drill procedure (MONO procedure). Study Design Retrospective cohort design. Setting University hospital. Patients Adult subjects (≥18 yr), with conductive mixed loss, or single-sided deafness (SSD), BAHS surgery MONO from 2021 to 2023. Intervention implantation. Main Outcome Measures Surgical postoperative...
Ocular toxoplasmosis is the leading cause of posterior uveitis worldwide. We conducted an observational study 262 consecutive individuals (n = 344 eyes) with ocular who were followed over a 34-month period. Most subjects T. gondii IgG + /IgM- 242; 92.4%; 317 eyes), and 140 eyes (40.7%) had active lesions. For in which retinal lesions at recruitment best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) could be measured 133), 21.0% 28) remained blind (BCVA below 20/400) after inflammation resolved. In these...
Abstract Background Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and the unfolded protein response (UPR) are adaptive mechanisms for conditions of high demand, marked by an accumulation misfolded proteins in endoplasmic (ER). Rheumatic autoimmune diseases (RAD) known to be associated with chronic inflammation ERS state. However, activation UPR signaling pathways is not completely understood Sjögren’s disease (SD). This study evaluated expression ERS-related genes glandular tissue patients primary SD...
Ablepharon macrostomia syndrome is a rare congenital disorder caused by autosomal-dominant
Purpose To measure the amplitude of upper eyelid saccadic movements in patients with Graves' retraction.
To analyze the cosmetic and functional results of a large series patients with unilateral congenital ptosis without spontaneous compensatory ipsilateral frontalis hyperaction who underwent supramaximal levator resection (SMLPSr).A multicenter retrospective review 35 children (14 girls 21 boys) mean age 5.5±3.6 SD years surgery in 3 different countries: Italy, n=8; Argentina, n=11; Brazil, n=16. Preoperative evaluation included measurements upper eyelid margin reflex distance (MRD1) palpebrae...
Purpose: To assess the upper eyelid kinematics during spontaneous blinking in unilateral paralytic lagophthalmos before and after load with gold weight (GW) or autogenous temporalis fascia (TF) sling.Design: Comparative case series.Subjects: Patients long-standing unresolved facial palsy who underwent surgical treatment GW (n = 8) lid cerclage TF 10). The contralateral served as control for each patient (control group).Methods: Preoperative postoperative measurements of blink magnetic search...
Dry Eye Disease (DED) is part of several conditions, including Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and no single test to diagnosis DED. The present study intends evaluate whether a set signs symptoms DED can distinguish: a) SS from other non-overlapping systemic diseases related DED; b) primary secondary SS.182 consecutive patients with were evaluated under five groups: SS, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), Graves' orbitopathy (GO), diabetes mellitus (DM), glaucoma treatment benzalkonium chloride...
Summary The study investigated whether chronic TMD patients with disc displacement reduction (DDR), performing non‐assisted maximum jaw movements, presented any changes in their mandibular kinematics respect to an age‐matched control group. Moreover, it was examined and a valid clinic measure of oro‐facial functional status have significant associations. Maximum mouth opening, mandible protrusion bilateral laterotrusions were performed by 20 (18 women, 2 men; age, 18–34 years) healthy...
Sjögren Syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease with wide spectrum of manifestations that can lead to misdiagnosis. This study describes and compares demographic, clinical, serological, histopathological data from subjects SS non-Sjögren (NSS). It also details specific features within the primary (pSS) secondary (sSS) groups identifying sub-groups.The sample included individuals referred an academic medical center in Brazil for investigation 2012 2020. Patients were retrospectively...
In Brief Purpose: To validate and to report the results of a new inexpensive video-based method measure upper eyelid motion during spontaneous blinks. Methods: Spontaneous blinks were simultaneously recorded in 21 healthy adult subjects for 5 minutes with magnetic search coil (MSC) portable video system (VDS) composed by commercial high-speed camera coupled laptop computer blue light-emitting diode. Agreement between 2 methods was assessed using qualitative comparison traces Bland-Altman...
PURPOSE: To determine if the distribution of inter-blink time intervals is constant with repeated measurements and without topical ocular anesthesia. METHODS: Inter-blink was measured in 15 normal subjects ranging from 19 to 32 years (mean ± SD= 23.9 3.20) magnetic search coil technique on 3 different occasions, last one RESULTS: One-way analysis variance for showed that anesthesia significantly reduced blink rate (blinks per minute), which first two (F=8.27, p=0.0015. First measurement:...
One of the most common problems surgical management Graves upper eyelid retraction is occurrence contour abnormalities. In present study, postoperative a large sample eyelids patients with orbitopathy was measured.The 62 eyes 43 subjectively classified by 3 experienced surgeons in categories: poor, fair, and good. The shape contours each category then measured recently developed custom-made software measuring multiple midpupil distances 15° along palpebral fissure. 60 normal subjects also...
Purpose.: To determine the shape of spontaneous interblink time interval distributions obtained in a long observation period normal subjects and patients with Graves' orbitopathy. Methods.: The magnetic search coil technique was used to register blinking activity during 1 hour video two groups 10 each (normal controls aged 27–61 years, mean ± SD = 46.0 13.6; orbitopathy 33–61 46.7 8.9). blink rate subject calculated for entire 56 five-minute bins. Histograms were plotted measurement rate....
