strabismus , gaze , ocular movements , classification etc
presented by senior optometrist & orthoptician at Sagarmatha Choudhary Eye Hospital, SCEH, LAHAN (NEPAL )
He explain details about the binocular gaze , EOMs, etc & work up of a patient of squint etc.
Background: Strabismic amblyopia is characterized by an imbalance of the sensorial and motor system. Differences between both
eyes due to squinting during 1st months of life can originate an entire fovea fixation and ARC, which is a binocular condition generated
by the absence of a correct bi-foveal fixation [2]. Accommodative esotropia usually presents between 2 and 4 years of age with an
increase in accommodative needs and is directly linked to the amount of hypermetropia [9]. Although patching remains the gold
standard therapy of amblyopia, several new treatment options have emerged over the years. These include refractive adaptation,
atropine penalization, and several binocular activities with varying success rates [10].
Case Report: 6-year-old male presented with complaints of inward deviation, and blurring of vision for distance and near. A proper
squint evaluation was performed to determine the presence of the type of squint. Accommodative esotropia with amblyopia in one
eye was reported. Synoptophorehaidinger brushes were recommended for foveal stimulation for the amblyopic eye followed by
patching. The patient reported good compliance and significant vision improvement in the amblyopic eye and no longer blur and
deviation with glasses were observed.
Conclusion: Accommodative esotropia with amblyopia showed substantial improvement with the help of Haidinger brushes in the
amblyopic eye. A combination of patching and Haidinger brushes is an efficacious approach for achieving an improvement in visual
acuity and binocular function in strabismic amblyopia.
Keywords: Accommodative Esotropia; Strabismic Amblyopia; Haidinger Brushes; Synoptophore
Gives a very brief review of how to evaluate a case of squint in day to day clinical practice. How to diagnose a basic abnormality of the movement of eye.
Brückner, in 1962, published a paper in German describing a "trans-illumination" test extremely useful in the diagnosis of small angle deviations and amblyopia in young uncooperative children. A bright coaxial light source, such as a direct ophthalmoscope, is used.

Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
2. introduction
Heterophoria is a condition where in the tendency of
the eyes to deviate is kept latent by the fusional reflex
Orthophoria occurs where both visual axes are
directed towards the fixation point and no deviate on
dissociation.
3. intro.cont.
large as 25˚
small as 5˚ (microtropia).
Nature of deviation depends upon the degree of fusion
amplitude.
4. EVALUATION.
1) Examination of patient comprises of detailed history.
2) Determination of visual acuity,refractive error
(retinoscopy) under cycloplegia.(Dry and wet after
orthoptic evaluation)
3) Ocular movements should also be tested in all
positions of gaze.[uniocular & binocular]
5. 4) Cover-uncover test:
It should be performed for both distance and near.
One eye of the patient is covered while fixating with
other eye at a distant target. The eye is then
uncovered and any movement of the eye to take up
fixation is noted.
6. After the cover is removed, the speed and smoothness
of recovery indicates the strength of motor fusion.
The direction of deviation, the degree of deviation and
speed of recovery is noted.
8. 4) Measurement of heterophoria:
Measured for both distance and near.
Full optical distance correction.
Near phoria measured at 33 cm.[using a
accommodation target.
9. Measurement includes following two criteria
A. objective tests: prism and cover test.
Measuring the angle of deviation objectively.
Prism with apex toward the deviation placed in front
of one eye fixate with other
10. Prism and alternet cover test :
Test should be performed for distance and near.
Prism with apex towards the deviation paced in front
of one eye and the px is asked to fixate a target with the
other eye.
Alternate cover test is performed till there is no
recovery movement of the eye under cover .
This will tell the amount of deviation in prism
dioptres
11.
12. B. Subjective test :
1. Maddox rod test :
Based on the principle of physiological diplopia.
Consist of a series of parallel glass cylinders of high
power
Produces a linear image of a point light.
Through the rod line image is formed perpendicular
to the axis of the cylinders.
13. Due to dissimilar image of the two eyes fusion is
broken and heterophoria becomes manifest.
14. Measured by the superimposition of the two images by
mean of prism placed in front of one eye.
15. 2.Maddox wing test :
instrument by which amount of phoria for near is
measured [33 cm]
Based on the principle of dissociation of fusion by
dissimilar objects.
Through its two slit right eye sees vertical white
arrow & horizontal red arrow & left eye sees
vertical and horizontal line of numbers
16.
17. Ask patient :
White arrow is pointing at which number of
horizontal line. [amount of horizontal phoria]
Red arrow is pointing at which number of vertical
line.[amount of vertical phoria]
For cyclophoria ask patient to align the red arrow with
the horizontal line of number
18. 5.Measurement of NPC,NPA,Ac/A
Near point of convergence [NPC] can be measured
with RAF rule .normal NPC is considered to be around
7cm.
Near point of accommodation NPA can be
measured with RAF rule. normal NPA varies with the
age of patients.
19. AC/A ratio :
Normal AC/A ratio 3-4 PD for 1 dioptre of
accommodation.
it can be measured by eg, heterophoric method.
20. 6.Measurement of fusional reserve
Can be measured with the help of synoptophore or
prism bar.
Normal values:
Vertical fusional reserve :1.5⁰-2.5⁰
Horizontal –ve fusional reserve [abduction]:3⁰-5⁰
Horizontal +ve fusional reserve [adduction range]
:20⁰-40⁰
21. Treatment of heterophoria
INDICATION:
In Adults: indicated only if the px suffering from
symptoms.
In Childrens: if the phoria is showing a tendency to
decompensate into a manifest deviation,wether
symptoms are present or not.
23. 1.Optical correction
Optical correction may eliminate the phoria in some
patients.
Guidelines for prescription glasses.
1. Difference in Refractive error between two eyes
should be eliminated.
2. In exophoria, both eyes may be undercorrect by an
equal amount of spherical plus power.
3. In esophoria, optimum spherical plus correction
which gives best visual acuity.
24. 4. Bifocal glass, for near vision with px having
esophoria of convergence excess type.
5. In hyperphoria, optical correction by decentred to
achieve prismatic effect , relieving the stress on
vertical vergence.
6. In cyclophoria, correction of astigmatic refractive
error.
26. Orhtoptic exercise for esophoria
Divergence exercise with prism:
1. BI before one eye while s/he fixating an object
where the esophoria is maximum.
trained to maintain single vision by relaxing the
convergence. [for few minutes at each week visit]
27. Divergence exercise on synoptophore:
Using stereopsis slides which provides strong stimulus
to fusion.
Trained to maintain a single vision by relaxing
convergence.[5 min at each week visit]
28. Physiologic diplopia exercise:
Using stereogram or pencil in the crossed position
Px fixing at distance object ,stereogram card held at 25
cm in front of eyes.
Px perceives four pictures.
Trained to fuse two central pictures,in which patient
perceives three pictures.
29. Here patient is converging for the distance target while
accommodating for near.
30. Other method for orthoptic exercise for esophoria :
1. Exercise using diploscope
2. Exercise using remy separator
3. Reading bar exercise
31. Orhtoptic exercise for exophoria
Aim is to improve the fusional convergence :
Convergence exercise with prisms
1. BO before one eye while s/he fixating an object
where the exophoria is maximum.
2. Trained to maintain single vision by relaxing the
divergence
32. convergence exercise using synoptophore:
Using stereopsis slides which provides strong stimulus
to fusion.
Trained to maintain a single vision by relaxing
divergence.[5 min at each week visit]
33. Physiologic diplopia exercise using stereogram in
the uncrossed position:
Using stereogram or pencil in the uncrossed position.
Px stereogram card is held at arm length in front of
patient and pencil (fixating point) placed between
eyes and the card
While looking at the pencil ,patient will notice
diplopia(uncrossed)of the card i.e four pictures
34. Trained to fuse two central pictures clearly,in which
patient pereives three pictures.
In doing so patient is converging for the fixation object
and accommodation for the distance.
35. 3) Role of miotic drugs
Treatment of choice in near esophoria due to high
AC/A ratio.
Miotics facilitate accommodation, so that less than
normal innervations is necessary to obtain a given
accommodative response and there occur less
accommodative convergence
36. Surgical treatment of heterophoria
Indication :
Surgery becomes necessary only when symptoms
cannot be relieved by other method like, optical
correction, orthoptic exercise, using miotic
