The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to rapid adoption of teleophthalmology deliver eyecare remotely. purpose our study was assess the implementation and patient acceptability video consultation for outpatient ophthalmic care at institution. We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis survey adult patients who completed virtual visit institution from 18 March through 27 April 2020. All encounters were assessed characteristics, diagnoses, management, follow-up...
To develop and validate a deep learning algorithm to automatically detect segment an orbital abscess depicted on computed tomography (CT).
OBJECTIVE Although keyhole transorbital approaches are gaining traction, their indications have not been adequately studied comparatively. In this study the authors defined them also as transwing approaches—meaning that they use different facies of sphenoid wing for cranial entry—and sought to compare four major ones: 1) lateral orbitocraniotomy through a canthal incision (LatOrb); 2) modified orbitozygomatic approach palpebral (ModOzPalp); 3) an eyebrow (ModOzEyB); and 4) supraorbital...
Homolog pairing is indispensable for the proper segregation of chromosomes in meiosis but mechanism by which homologs uniquely pair with each other poorly understood. In Drosophila, somatic also undergo full homolog an unknown mechanism. It has been recently demonstrated that both insulator function and long-distance interactions between Polycomb response elements (PREs) are stabilized RNAi machinery Drosophila. This suggests possibility homologs, either during or soma, may be a similar To...
Purpose: To examine the uptake, results, and patient assessment of virtual inpatient ophthalmology consultations at our academic medical center during COVID-19 pandemic.
Purpose: To examine the characteristics and outcomes of open globe injuries sustained by urban population compared to rural population. Methods: This is a retrospective chart review 429 patients presenting University Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Presbyterian Hospital with traumatic globes from July 2005 2013. Results: Rural had longer time which elapsed injury presentation (P = 0.023, average 12.04 hours vs 7.53 hours). There was higher incidence patient transfer prior arrival UPMC...
Abstract Background Repair of margin-involving eyelid lacerations is a challenge for beginning ophthalmology residents, yet no commercially-available simulation models exist learning this skill. The objective the study was to modify mannequin-based surgical simulator originally developed trachomatous trichiasis surgery training teach laceration repair and evaluate its success within residency wet-lab environment. Methods We modified previously system into repair. Six residents from tertiary...
Purpose: To compare the efficacy of vertical lid split (VLS) to standard lateral canthotomy and cantholysis (LC/C) for orbital compartment syndrome (OCS) in cadaveric model.Methods: Simulated OCS was achieved seven fresh frozen orbits. Orbital pressure (OP) monitored one control orbit six interventional Initial OP recorded before three right orbits underwent with superior inferior cantholysis, left upper lower eyelids. In all 7 orbits, a total 16 min. The main outcome measure amount...
To evaluate the ability of artificial intelligence (AI) software to quantify proptosis for identifying patients who need surgical drainage.We pursued a retrospective study including 56 subjects with clinical diagnosis subperiosteal orbital abscess (SPOA) secondary sinusitis at tertiary pediatric hospital from 2002 2016. AI computer was developed perform 3D visualization and quantitative assessment computed tomography (CT) images acquired time admission. The automatically linear volume...
Purpose To identify clinical risk factors for enucleation or evisceration in patients with endophthalmitis at an academic institution.Methods A retrospective review of diagnosed Wilmer Eye Institute from 2010 to 2019 was conducted. Clinical characteristics, including demographics, cause endophthalmitis, microbial culture results, salvaging procedures and surgical intervention were recorded. In who underwent evisceration, type surgery placement a primary implant Chi-squared, Student's t-tests...
Introduction Positive and negative associations between prior publications future research productivity is described in other fields, but no such analysis exists for ophthalmology. We conducted a study to determine characteristics of residents exhibiting during residency. Methods Using San Francisco Match Program Web sites, roster ophthalmology 2019 2020 was compiled, publication data collected via PubMed Google Scholar on random sample 100 third-year residents. Results The median number...
To assess the practice patterns of current members American Society Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) in treatment medically refractive endophthalmitis (MRE). A 17-question survey included procedure choice for MRE, preferred type orbital implant, timing implant placement, incidence postoperative complications. 107 ASOPRS participated study. In setting 72% evisceration versus 28% who enucleation. Fifty-nine percent responders enucleation if MRE extended to tissues 27%...
We present a case of vision loss secondary to neurosarcoidosis, which initially presented with severe bilateral loss, temporal headaches, and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, concerning for giant cell arteritis. However, artery biopsy was negative. Initial neuroimaging features were misinterpreted represent meningioma that did not account his clinical presentation. Clinical course, including atypically rapid enlargement presumed meningioma, development skin lesions, appearance optic...
A 79-year-old female presented to the emergency department for sudden-onset ocular pain, edema, and erythema around her left eye. She also had a left-sided migraine frontal fullness 2 weeks. attentive care diagnosis of orbital cellulitis prompt recognition necrotizing fasciitis. Wound cultures were positive over 5 strains bacteria in addition
