Abstract Background Penicillin has remained the most effective treatment for syphilis several decades. Syphilitic retinal manifestations may persist following and cause visual problems. In this case series, we describe three patients with persistent posterior segment due to chronic inflammation, incomplete treatment, reinfection. Case series Recommended initial all was 14 days of intravenous penicillin. Oral prednisone added 48 h after initiation penicillin therapy. 1: A 48-year-old female...

Infusion-related iatrogenic retinal breaks (IRBs) are a significant complication in vitrectomies, particularly when smaller-gauge cannulas used during fluid infusion. Using two-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA), we analyzed forces exerted on the retina from different cannulas: traditional 25-gauge, 20-gauge, 23-gauge, and 27-gauge, then investigated four alternative new cannula designs: (A) oblique orifices, (B) external obstruction, (C) side ports, (D) perpendicular orifices. The...

Abstract We present O‐T advancement reconstruction (OTAR) in lateral tongue defects, describing technique, indications, outcomes, and limitations. 11 patients with defects who underwent OTAR after earlystage cancer removal. Demographics, staging, functional oral intake scale (FOIS), dysphagia outcome severity (DOSS), defect size, complications were included. Functional outcomes assessed through telephone encounters. Preoperative FOIS DOSS 6.9 6.8, postoperatively 4.8 5. Mean of 4.7 cm × 3.4...
