Abstract

We present the results of anterior transposition of the inferior oblique in a series of patients with inferior oblique overaction and dissociated vertical deviation (DVD). We performed a retrospective study of 37 procedures on 21 patients who had unilateral or bilateral inferior oblique anterior transpositions. Before surgery, patients had +1 to +3 inferior oblique overaction and +1 (< 10 PD) or +2 (10 PD-20 PD) degree of DVD. The inferior oblique insertion was transposed to between 2 mm posterior to and 2 mm anterior to the temporal border of the inferior rectus insertion. Mean follow-up period was 27 months. Incidence of inferior oblique overaction of +2 or more was reduced from 84% before surgery to 16% at last postoperative assessments. Some 43% of eyes had no inferior oblique overaction and 86% had an improvement in the degree of inferior oblique overaction. At last assessments, 57% of eyes had no evidence of DVD and 68% of eyes had no evidence of DVD or an improvement in the degree of DVD. No patient who had unilateral anterior transposition developed hypotropia in primary position and there was no evidence of inferior oblique underaction in any patient at last assessment. Three patients requiring repeat inferior oblique ...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.
