The three muscle subdivisions are therefore physically joined together and appear to act as a single functional entity that should be collectively referred to as the muscle of Riolan.
The incidence of implant exposure was less than 4%. This compares favorably to the incidence of exposure of 9% to 21% reported in recent literature. Other complications were few and of minimal clinical significance. The authors conclude that bovine pericardium is a viable option to sclera as a wrapping for porous orbital implants.
We have studied changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) in 30 patients after succinylcholine (suxamethonium) and tracheal intubation following administration of propofol 2 mg kg-1 and either remifentanil 1 microgram kg-1 (group R) or saline (group S). IOP was measured before induction, before administration of succinylcholine and the study drug, before intubation and for every 1 min after intubation for 5 min. There was a significant decrease in IOP in group R compared with group S from the time of administration of the study drugs to the end of the study (P < 0.006).
On the basis of this preliminary study, we conclude that whereas scleral wrapping does significantly slow the rate of fibrovascular ingrowth, the concomitant placement of access holes greatly improves the rate of fibrovascularization.
Botulinum toxin and dermal fillers can be used to diminish facial rhytides, restore facial volume, and sculpt facial contours, thereby achieving an aesthetically pleasing, youthful facial appearance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
