PURPOSE The signs and symptoms of dry eye disease (DED) can affect the quality of life of patients. This study analyzes whether locking Y lateral canthopexy improves patients' quality of life and in what way it does so (based on the ocular surface disease index questionnaire) and DED signs (measured by the fluorescein breakup time, tear osmolarity, Schirmer test, and corneal staining) in patients with DED caused by a eyelid malposition or impaired blink dynamics. METHODS This was a case-control study. Forty eyes of 20 patients with DED and lateral canthal disinsertion examined at the University Hospital La Ribera during a 1-year period from November 2016 to November 2017. The 40 eyes were divided into 2 groups Group 1 eyes that underwent locking Y lateral canthopexy (i.e., a plication of the superficial lateral canthal tendon to the lateral orbital rim periosteum); and group 2 eyes that underwent observational treatment, without surgery. Symptoms and signs in OU were recorded separately at baseline and 1 month after surgery. RESULTS One month after surgery, the ocular surface disease index reduced in group 1 eyes when compared with those of group 2 (p = 0.001), fluorescein breakup time showed an improvement in the operated eyes (group 1) (p less then 0.001) and corneal staining was reduced in group 1 after surgery (p = 0.012). The osmolarity results did not change when compared with eyes from group 2 (p less then 0.001). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/abt-199.html CONCLUSIONS Locking Y lateral canthopexy is an effective surgical technique for treating patients with evaporative dry eye caused by a lateral canthal tendón disinsertion by restoring proper eyelid closure and improving blinking dynamics. It improves DED signs and symptoms, thereby enhancing the quality of life of patients.PURPOSE To describe the management of dermoid cysts in a pediatric referral hospital. METHODS Retrospective review of 115 patients with pathological diagnosis of dermoid cyst in a pediatric referral hospital between 2003 and 2019. RESULTS One hundred fifteen patients, 51 (44.3%) males, and 64 (55.7%) females were retrospectively reviewed. There were fifty-one (44.3%) right eyes and 64 (55.7%) left eyes. Mean age at surgery was 39.15 months (5.6 months-16.4 years). One hundred four (90.4%) lesions were superficial, and 11 (9.6%) were deep. Quadrant location was 63 (54.8%) superior-temporal, 45 (39.1%) superior-nasal, 4 (3.5%) inferior-temporal, and 2 (1.7%) in the nasal inferior quadrant. Most patients only had aesthetic concerns, but 3 (2.61%) showed lacrimal drainage obstruction symptoms, 2 (1.74%) had proptosis, and 1 case spontaneously drained to the cutaneous surface. Imaging was performed in 51 (44.3%) patients. Regarding to their radiodensity, 71.9% had low density content, 28.1% high density, and only 1 patient showed full liquid content; 10.9% showed heterogeneous content; 53.1% showed bone remodeling. Every patient but 1 underwent surgery for a barely accessible asymptomatic retrobulbar cyst. Nine cysts (7.8%) were breached during surgery. Three recurrences were found (2.6%), but only 1 was related to intraoperative breach. CONCLUSIONS Dermoid cysts are the most common benign periorbital tumors in the pediatric population. Imaging is required for evaluation of lesions in atypical locations, deep or fixed to underlying tissue. Surgical removal is the gold standard of treatment. Multidisciplinary approach may be required in the most complex cases. After surgery, few complications and recurrences were found in our series.This study explores the effects of biopsychosocial factors on life satisfaction among persons with serious mental illness. Participants in this study included a convenience sample of 194 adults recruited from Texas and Wisconsin. A path analysis was conducted with psychiatric symptoms as an exogenous variable, and illness insight, social self-efficacy, social support, community integration, and life satisfaction as endogenous variables. Beginning with a hypothesized model, a best model was obtained after removing the paths that were not significant and adding recommended paths supported by theory. In the final model, psychiatric symptoms, social self-efficacy, social support, and community integration were directly associated with life satisfaction. Illness insight did not directly affect life satisfaction but had indirect effects. Psychiatric symptoms may be the most important and direct predictor of life satisfaction; illness insight, social self-efficacy, social support, and community integration buffer the direct of effect of psychiatric symptoms on life satisfaction.Frequent attenders (FAs) of general practitioners (GPs) often complain of nonspecific physical symptoms that are difficult to define according to typical medical syndromes criteria but could be acknowledged as atypical manifestations of mental disorders. We investigated the possible correlation between somatic symptoms and panic-agoraphobic spectrum symptoms in a sample of 75 FAs of GPs in Italy, with particular attention to the impact on functional impairment. Assessments included the Patient Health Questionnaire, Panic-Agoraphobic Spectrum-Self-Report (PAS-SR) lifetime version, Global Assessment of Functioning, and Clinical Global Impression. The PAS-SR total and domains scores were significantly higher among low-functioning FAs, especially anxious somatizations, hypochondriasis, anxious expectation, and reassurance orientation domains, suggesting this undetected symptom may determine the selective attention to the physical symptoms, illness-phobic/hypochondriac elaboration, and GP frequent attendance, often aimed at searching for reassurance, leading to severe impact on overall functioning and often inefficacious treatments.Climate change is increasingly recognized as having multiple adverse mental health effects, many of which are just beginning to be understood. The elevated rates of suicides observed in some communities affected by climate change and rising rates of suicide in the United States as climate change intensifies have suggested the two may be associated. We searched PubMed and PsycInfo using the terms climate change and suicide, and provide here a review of the current literature on climate change and suicide that explores possible associations and methodological issues and challenges in this research.
