PURPOSES: The study is to describe a new surgical technique for correcting large orbital implant exposure with extraocular muscle flaps and to propose a treatment algorithm for orbital implant exposure.METHODS: In a retrospective study, seven patients with orbital implant exposure were treated with extraocular muscle flaps.All data were collected f
Trace metals such as cadmium are found in high concentrations in urban environments.Animal and plant populations living in heavily contaminated environments could adapt to trace metals exposure.A recent study shows that urban populations of the acorn ant Temnothorax nylanderi are more resistant to cadmium than their forest counterparts.However, thi
The giant aneurysm of the cavernous internal carotid artery is an uncommon event.In the case of giant aneurysmal formation, the patient presents with some signs or symptoms, reported or observed on physical examination, which reveal a possible mass effect with neurovascular compression of the aneurysm, or even a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to the r
The bivalent chromosomes that are generated during prophase of meiosis I comprise a pair of homologous chromosomes.Homolog pairing during prophase I must include mechanisms that avoid or eliminate entanglements between non-homologous chromosomes.In Drosophila spermatocytes, BANANA COCONUT LIP BALIM non-homologous associations are disrupted by chrom
