Abstract

This study aims to investigate the surgical outcomes of a novel epiblepharon correction method based on the pathologic features of epicanthal tissue. The correlation between the pathology and clinical presentations was also studied. This retrospective study included 72 eyelids of 36 children with epiblepharon and epicanthal folds. From July 2013 to March 2016, epicanthal tension-releasing procedure of subdermal fibrinolysis with orbicularis oculi ring myotomy were performed in 36 children. Photographs before and after operation were analyzed with Image J program. A clinical severity of the epiblepharon was scored based on the lower eyelid skin fold height (mild to severe). Subdermal fibrosis index was defined as the portion of fibrosis in low power field (× 40) and eyelid contour was assessed with custom software (MATLAB). Eighty eyelids without eyelid pathology were analyzed to establish the normal eyelid contour. The epicanthal tissues were classified into three categories: mild, moderate, and severe fibrosis. The mean age of the patients was 5.5 years. Intercanthal distance (ICD) ratio was defined as Inner ICD (IICD)/outer ICD (OICD). The IICD/OICD was 0.41 in the severe epiblepharon group that is significantly longer compar...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
