Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is a common and debilitating manifestation of Graves disease (GD). Presently little known about factors that may increase the risk developing TAO among patients with GD.To identify associated development individuals newly diagnosed GD.In this longitudinal cohort study, all beneficiaries 18 years age or older GD who were continuously enrolled in large nationwide US managed care network visited an eye professional 1 more times from 2001 to 2009...
In Brief Purpose: To describe the surgical technique for and results of island pedicle cheek flap repair medial canthal defects. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts all patients with defects repaired horizontal advancement flaps from November 2007 July 2009. Patient demographics, risk factors poor wound healing, diagnosis, operative findings, technique, postoperative were reviewed. Results: Twenty-five a mean age 61 years underwent reconstruction flaps. Basal cell carcinoma (88%),...
A 45-year-old woman with a medial canthal mass associated new-onset epiphora was found to have darkly pigmented arising from the lacrimal sac wall because of intranasal pencil trauma 40 years before. Resection graphite-induced granuloma dacryocystorhinostomy curative.
Two patients with late graft enteric fistula (GEF) are reported, one at nineteen years (238 months) and the other eleven months after implan tation. In a review of literature incidence varies from 0.2% to 4% also for emergent, elective, aneurysmal, occlusive disease. Mechani cal infectious factors, alone or in combination, thought comprise etiology GEF. The diagnosis is based on high index suspicion must be considered any patient previous aortic gastrointestinal bleed ing until proved...
의학계에서 수행되는 임상 실험의 경우 변인들을 모두 통제하면서 통계적으로 유의미한 실험규모를 구성하기 어려운 경우가 존재한다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 다수의 기존 연구들을 체계적으로 통합하고, 결과를 통합하여 분석하고자 하는 시도들이 이뤄지고 있는데, 메타 분석(meta-analyses)의 충분한 수의 연구가 뒷받침되어야 한다는 제약이 있다. 반면에 근거 매핑(Evidence mapping)은 비교적 적은 연구들에 대해서도 수행이 가능하다는 점에서 장점을 갖고 그러나 방법론으로 접근한 연구들에서는 단순한 시각화를 사용하여 연구의 동향이나 증거 수준을 파악하기 어렵다는 한계가 본 연구에서는 의료 학술 문헌에 대해서 체계적 고찰과 매핑을 효과적으로 수행하기 위한 대화형 시각화 도구를 제안한다.
