Unveiling Otolith Mystery: Contemporary Testing Approaches and Their Clinical Significance
ABSTRACT Objective Otolith is a critical component of the peripheral vestibular system responsible for detecting linear acceleration. Dysfunction of the otolith organs can lead to vertigo, balance disturbances, and gaze instability. By elucidating the physiological foundations and evaluating both current and emerging methods for assessing otolith ...

Local use of dexamethasone in the treatment of ocular myasthenia gravis
Background At present, patients with ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) are typically treated with systemic drugs. We investigated the use of dexamethasone injected in the peribulbar region or extraocular muscle to treat patients with OMG.

FPGA‐Based Real‐Time Implementation of Closed‐Loop Brain‐Controlled Eye Movement System
ABSTRACT This paper presents a comprehensive closed‐loop brain‐eye movement framework, spanning parametric modelling, dynamic analysis and real‐time FPGA implementation. A simplified first‐order oculomotor model was derived from the classical Robinson formulation to preserve the essential neural‐mechanical feedback structure while enabling efficient ...

Diplopia Secondary to Gastric Adenocarcinoma Metastasis to the Superior Oblique Muscle
While gastric cancer often metastasizes to the liver, lymph nodes, and lungs, skeletal muscle metastasis is a rare event. The most common primary tumor metastasizing to the extraocular structures is breast cancer.

Cardiopulmonary arrest before extraocular-muscle hooking during strabismus surgery
Oculo-cardiac reflex (OCR) is defined as dysrhythmia or bradycardia by manipulation of the eyeball, especially often in extraocular-muscle hooking. OCR occasionally leads to serious complications, including intraoperative death.
