Compassion has been associated with eudaimonia and pro-social behavior, it regarded as a virtue, both historically cross-culturally. However, the psychological study of compassion limited to laboratory settings and/or standard survey assessments. Here, we use an experience sampling method (ESM) compare naturalistic assessments assessments, examine compassion, its variability, associations behavior.Undergraduate students (n = 200) took that included eudaimonia. Then, over 4 days, they were...

To compare extraocular muscle volumes in thyroid eye disease patients with and without compressive optic neuropathy.A retrospective review of 44 orbital CT scans (28 orbits 16 neuropathy) was conducted. The volumes, summated soft tissue nerve were calculated at a section the posterior 1/3 orbit. visual fields neuropathy analyzed.The mean combined muscle/summated volume ratio superior rectus-levator complex/summated greater those than (p = 0.02, 0.008, respectively). inferior, medial, or...

The authors describe a 9-year-old female who presented with swelling, proptosis, and tenderness of the right upper eyelid MRI imaging demonstrating lacrimal gland enlargement. After failing treatment corticosteroids, patient underwent biopsy that was consistent IgG4-related orbital disease. She subsequently successfully treated adalimumab (TNF-α inhibitor). This is first case report successful use TNF-α inhibitor for disease in child.

Purpose: To investigate the safety and efficacy of direct, intralesional doxycycline hyclate injection for improving appearance cosmetically significant lower eyelid festoons malar edema. Methods: An Institutional Review Board approved, retrospective review was performed 15 consecutive patients with edema and/or injected at a concentration 10 mg/ml. Pre- postinjection photographs were reviewed graded on scale 0 to 3 (0: no festoon; 1: small 2: medium 3: large festoon) by 2 masked physician...

Purpose: To describe the use of Prosthetic Replacement Ocular Surface Ecosystem (PROSE) device in management complex oculoplastic pathology. Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed records individuals over 18 years age who were referred and successfully fit with PROSE scleral between January 1995 June 2015. Results: Nine cases identified that had disease severe corneal surface disease. All patients ptosis improvement marginal reflex distance-1 following 5 7 spared further surgical...

Despite the paucity of supporting data, it has generally been held that proptosis in thyroid eye disease (TED) may provide relative protection from compressive optic neuropathy (CON) by producing spontaneous decompression. The objective this study was to investigate phenomenon patients with bilateral TED-CON.We retrospectively reviewed charts 67 (134 orbits) TED-CON at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. Significant asymmetric (Hertel) defined as ≥ 2 mm. CON first, presence an afferent...

This article examines the effectiveness of skin-muscle flap excision in conjunction with a lateral tarsal strip for treatment involutional entropion. Ninety-six eyelids 83 consecutive patients entropion were treated using standardized surgical procedure. All underwent lower eyelid tightening strip, dissection inferiorly through subciliary incision and redundant skin as well orbicularis muscle. Follow-up data was obtained by retrospective chart review telephone interviews. 80 included this...

To evaluate the improvement in primary and eccentric gaze ocular alignment thyroid eye disease (TED) patients undergoing horizontal strabismus surgery with Tenon's recession.This is an Institutional Review Board-approved retrospective analysis of TED for esotropia. The study included all from 2007 to 2016 operated on by a single surgeon at Columbia University Medical Center. Surgical success was defined as ability fuse both near distance either without prismatic correction or less than 10...

Purpose: To evaluate the association between risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and severity thyroid eye disease (TED) using a validated OSA screening tool. Methods: A prospective, observational cohort study was performed. New adult TED patients were offered with Snoring Tired Observed Pressure (STOP)-Bang survey during their initial evaluation. Clinical examination treatment for standard care utilized International Thyroid Eye Disease Society Vision Inflammation Strabismus Appearance...

This is a 38-year-old man referred to the authors' clinic for left orbital mass. His symptoms included left-sided retro-orbital pain, binocular diplopia, and proptosis (Fig. A). exam revealed best-corrected vision of 20/20 on right 20/25 left. He had marked resistance retropulsion globe left, −3 restriction in upgaze, −2 all other directions gaze. 10 mm relative proptosis. The rest including color vision, visual field, dilated were within normal limits. Axial MRI scan with T2-weighted...

This study evaluates the reliability of a frequently used subjective measurement orbital compliance (0-3 scale) and describes simple, quantitative measure with excellent intra- interrater reliability.Two examiners performed both measurements on 100 orbits (50 consecutive patients) from office 1 oculoplastics surgeon. Each was obtained at 2 different time points, 10 minutes apart. For measurement, patient asked to close their eyes, globe displaced posteriorly digital pressure until moderate...

"Staged embolization and excision of an arteriovenous malformation involving the eyelid orbit." Orbit, 39(1), pp. 71–72

Purpose: To measure orbital cavernous hemangioma size using 3 segmentation methods requiring different degrees of subjective judgment, and to evaluate interobserver agreement these methods. Methods: Fourteen patients with hemangiomas were included in the study. Pretreatment T2-weighted MRIs analyzed by 2 observers methods, including 1 user-dependent image method that required high judgment (ellipsoid) parameter-dependent low degree (GrowCut k -means clustering segmentation). Interobserver...

A 15-month-old male was referred for biopsy of presumed rhabdomyosarcoma in the setting rapidly progressing left-sided proptosis. Examination revealed left periorbital edema and hypoglobus. MRI a soft-tissue density mass within lateral retrobulbar space. Several days later, he developed acute ecchymosis increasing edema. With high suspicion vascular lesion, CT scan performed with dynamic arterial venous imaging. Central filling noted component increased enhancement on delayed imaging middle...
