Smartphone and custom-made software to assess the effect of botulinum toxin in essential blepharospasm: Initial results.
[BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE] It is challenging to assess essential blepharospasm (EB) patients objectively because they exhibit chaotic patterns of abnormal eyelid movements. Previously employed objective approaches used systems with low levels…

Ocular Surface Metrics in Blepharospasm Patients After Treatment With Botulinum Toxin Injections.
[PURPOSE] The purpose of this study was to assess blepharospasm patients regarding the effect of botulinum toxin in ocular surface parameters. [METHODS] A prospective study was performed in blepharospasm patients treated with onabotulinumt…

Endoscopic Botulinum Toxin Injection for Tacrolimus-Induced Achalasia in a Renal Transplant Recipient.
Post-transplantation achalasia secondary to immunosuppression is a rare complication. Here we present a man who developed dysphagia 4 days after his renal transplant and was found to have achalasia thought to be due to his tacrolimus. Switc…

Keratoconus progression is not inhibited by reducing eyelid muscular force with botulinum toxin A treatment: a randomized trial.
[PURPOSE:] To evaluate whether reducing eyelid muscular force through the administration of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) to the orbicularis oculi muscles of patients with keratoconus affected corneal parameters indicative of disease progr…

BOTOX-A injection of salivary glands for drooling.
[BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE] Drooling is a challenging entity to manage. Botulinum toxin A (BOTOX-A) infiltration of salivary glands is a promising alternative to surgical treatment. This study aims to assess the outcome of BOTOX-A salivary gla…

Differences in Corneal Parameters Between Affected and Normal Contralateral Eyes in Patients With Hemifacial Spasm Treated With Botulinum Toxin-A: Outcomes During One Complete Treatment Cycle.
[PURPOSE] To investigate possible temporary differences in corneal topographic parameters between affected and normal eyes in patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS) treated with botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A), over the course of 1 treatment cycle.…

Impact of botulinum toxin-A on corneal curvature assessed with Scheimpflug and Placido systems.
[PURPOSE] To evaluate the effect of eyelid spasm treatment with botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) on corneal curvature assessed with Scheimpflug (Pentacam) and Placido (Atlas) systems. [SETTING] Federal University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil. …

Influence of involuntary eyelid spasms on corneal topographic and eyelid morphometric changes in patients with hemifacial spasm.
[BACKGROUND/AIMS] In patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS), treatment relieves eyelid spasms on the affected side, thus changes in corneal topography and eyelid morphometry may be observed after treatment. We aimed to evaluate these paramete…

Outcomes of different concentrations of human amniotic fluid in a keratoconjunctivitis sicca-induced mouse model.
To compare the effects of different concentrations of topical human amniotic fluid (HAF) in a mouse model of dry eye, forty C57BL/6 mice were divided into 4 treatment groups: 20 % HAF, 50 % HAF, 100 % HAF, and isotonic salt solution (contro…

Burow's grafts in the facial region.
[BACKGROUND] Full-thickness skin grafts are an important tissue source for reconstructive surgery. Burow's grafts are full-thickness skin grafts that use adjacent lax skin as the donor site. This technique has also been referred to as islan…
