Article Abstract

Purpose: To demonstrate the technique and effectiveness of the bridle operation for oculomotor nerve paralysis with maintained elevation.

Method: The bridle operation includes transposition of the lateral rectus muscle (passing behind inferior oblique and rectus muscles) and the superior rectus muscle (behind superior oblique tendon and medial rectus muscle) to the nasal inferior surface of the globe.

Results: In the reported case, this procedure corrected exo-hypertropia of 30-40°/20-30° without inducing cyclotropia.

Conclusion: The bridle operation expands the surgical arsenal for paralytic strabismus.

Waterborne pathogen detection is challenging, requiring effective target organisms enrichment to enable reliable and accurate monitoring of pathogens which could be present at low numbers. However, existing processes are manual, require operator expertise and are optimised for particular applications, e.g.

Background: In the context of hepatobiliary and liver transplant surgery, ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury can occur due to temporary interruption of blood flow to the organ followed by a potentially damaging inflammatory response to reperfusion. Macrophages can drive inflammation in response to injury, but they can also promote liver growth and resolution of chronic liver injury and fibrosis. In chronic liver injury models in mice, macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF)1 stimulates pro-regenerative macrophages.

We aim to describe a case of congenital partial hypoplasia of the lower lip in a 2-year-old child. The presence of a gingival notch, a mucosal bridle, and difficulties with tooth eruption raised the possibility of a modified 28-29 Tessier cleft. However, other hypotheses have been proposed as the anomaly does not conform to standard cleft anatomical findings.

Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the possible role and assess the potential relationship of speculum use during phacoemulsification surgery in the occurrence of blepharoptosis.

Methods: Our study is a prospective observational design to analyze patients who underwent phacoemulsification surgery under topical anesthesia between October 2017 and May 2018 at a tertiary eye hospital in South India. All patients had their Margin Reflex Distance 1 (MRD1), levator palpebrae superioris (LPS) function, and lid crease distance (LCD) measured before and after surgery on day one, one month, three months, and six months to evaluate the extent of ptosis at each time point that was recorded clinically and photographic documentation for accurate evaluation.

Article Synopsis
  • Hand injuries in equestrian sports are common and can lead to long recovery times and significant economic costs, particularly arising during horse handling rather than riding.
  • A study of 39 patients revealed that most injuries (53.8%) were caused by traction from lead ropes or bridles, with a high incidence of serious injuries including fractures and avulsion amputations.
  • To reduce these injuries, the study suggests the use of protective gloves and safety equipment like self-opening panic hooks with overload protection.
