This document provides information on how to evaluate blepharoptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid) clinically. It discusses classifications of ptosis as congenital or acquired. Evaluation involves measuring eyelid positions, assessing levator function and other muscle movements. Tests like phenylephrine, ice and edrophonium help determine the cause. Thorough history, examination and documentation including photographs are needed before considering surgical management of ptosis.
This presentation gives a brief idea about angle of anterior chamber along with its structures and diagnostic methods to grade and visualize the structures.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
1. HOW TO EVALUATE ITS CLINICALASPECT
Dr. Neeraj Agarwal
GMC, KOTA
2. Blepharoptosis is derived from the greek word
blepharon=eyelid and ptosis= falling.
So blepharoptosis means drooping of upper
eyelid.
Blepharoptosis often abbreviated as ptosis.
Normally upper eyelid covers 1/6th of cornea
i.e. 2mm
Therefore in ptosis it covers more than 2mm.
7. EVALUATION OF PTOSIS
When patient enters examination room,
observation of the head posture with chin
elevation and frontalis overaction indicate
severe ptosis.
8. HISTORY
Age of onset
Duration
Unilateral/bilateral
Weather ptosis worsen through the day
Diplopia
Muscle weakness
trauma/ surgery
lid edema
previous ptosis surgery
9. Presence of any aberrant lid movements
Weather eye movements are impaired
Past medical history
Current medications
Family history
Old photographs
10. EXAMINATION
Head posture
Periocular fullness
Frontalis overaction
Scar mark
Lid skin laxity
Telecanthus, epicanthus inversus
11. Ocular Motility:
Importance in myogenic ptosis,
To R/O 3rd nerve palsy
presence of strabismus, especially vertical
strabismus entails that it be corrected prior to
the correction of the ptosis.
Visual acuity
Best-corrected visual acuity should be
assessed to record any amblyopia if present,
especially in cases of congenital ptosis
12. Refraction- Cycloplegic test refraction is
indicated in all children with ptosis since it is
known that a significant number have
anisometropia primarily due to astigmatism on
the ptotic side.
Any significant refractive error should be
corrected
13. MEASUREMENTS
Margin reflex distance 1(MRD 1)- After
shining the torchlight in the patient eye, the
distance between the corneal light reflex to the
centre of the upper lid margin is measured.
Normal value is 4- 4.5mm.
14. Marginal reflex distance
• Distance between upper lid
margin and light reflex (MRD)
• Mild ptosis (2 mm of droop)
• Moderate ptosis (3 mm)
• Severe ptosis (4 mm or more)
15. Margin reflex distance 2 (MRD 2)- the
distance of corneal light reflex to the centre of
the lower eyelid margin in primary gaze.
Normal value is 5- 5.5mm
16. Margin reflex distance 3(MRD 3)- the
distance between the corneal light reflex and
the centre of upper eyelid margin in extreme
upgaze.
17. Palpebral fissure height (PFH)- MRD1 + MRD2.
Central palpebral fissure height is measured in
primary gaze and compared with the normal eye in
unilateral ptosis.
18. Also it is important to measure the PFH in
downgaze. As reduced ptosis/ lid lag is seen in
congenital ptosis as the dystrophic muscle
neither contracts nor relaxes.
20. Margin crease distance(MCD)- it is an
important anatomical landmark, which give
clue to levator action.
It is measured with patient looking down,
distance from the central eyelid margin to the
most prominent lid crease.
Normal value in Men 5-7mm, women 8-10mm
Crease is absent in congenital ptosis and
higher in aponeurotic ptosis.
21. An absent lid crease is often accompanied
by poor levator function.
If a lid crease is present, but higher than
normal and if there is a deeper upper lid
sulcus on that side these should be noted as
signs of levator disinsertion.
22. MARGIN LIMBAL DISTANCE- it gives the
degree of loss of Levator action.
It is measured as the distance between the
centre of upper lid margin to 6o’clock limbus
in extreme upgaze
Normally it is 9mm.
23. Levator function test- Excursion of
upper eyelid from extreme downgaze to
extreme upgaze is a measure of LPS
function, negating the action of frontalis
muscle (Berke’s method).
24.
25. Grading of levator function-
>15mm= normal
>8 mm= good
5-7 mm= fair
<4 mm= poor
26. ILLIF’s test
Used in children
Pt upper lid is everted in downgaze. On
looking up, the lid should return to normal
position if levator action is good.
27. Marcus gunn jaw winking
phenomenon
Marcus Gunn jaw-winking phenomenon is the most
common form of congenital synkinetic neurogenic
ptosis.
The unilaterally ptotic eyelid elevates with jaw
movements due to cross innervations between
oculomotor nerve and mandibular branch of
trigeminal nerve
This synkinesis is best demonstrated by having the
patient move the jaw the opposite side.
The internal pterygoid may be involved, but rarely.
28. Grading of marcus gunn
phenomenon
Mild- maximum elevation of ptotic eyelid non-
ptotic position
Moderate- maximum elevation goes upto
superior limbus
Severe- maximum elevation beyond the
superior limbus with scleral show
29.
30. BELL’S PHENOMENON- the eyes moves
generally upwards and outwards on eyelid
closure. It is extremely important in assessing
post-operative corneal complications.
Poor bells phenomenon invariably warrants
under correction.
31. BELLS PHENOMENON
GRADING-
good= >2/3 of cornea disappears
fair= 1/3 – 2/3 of cornea disappears
poor= <1/3 of cornea disappears
VARIANT-
Inverse- upward & inward
Reverse- downward & outward
Preverse- different directions
33. Corneal sensation- always check before
planning the surgery.
Schirmers test – to rule out dry eye disease
Pupillary abnormalities- miosis in horner’s
syndrome mydriasis in 3rd nerve palsy.
34. Look for any associated mass lesion causing
mechanical ptosis
35. Cogan's lid twitch sign- may be seen when the
patient first looks down for a short period and
then look back to primary position.
The upper eyelid elevates excessively during
this upward movement.
This is interpreted as transient improvement in
lid strength after rest of the levator in
downgaze, followed by droop in the primary
position as the levator fatigues
36. Phenylephrine test- The function of muller’s is
tested by applying drops of 10% phenylephrine
to the eye on the side of blepharoptosis.
A rise in the MRDl of 1.5 mm or greater is
considered a positive test. This indicates that
Müller's muscle is viable. so operation to resect
muller’s muscle and conjunctiva can relieve
blepharoptosis.
37. Edrophonium test
• Measure amount of ptosis or
diplopia before injection
• Inject i.v. atropine 0.5 mg
• Inject i.v. test dose of
edrophonium (0.2 ml-2 mg)
•inject remaining (0.8 ml-8mg)
if no hypersensitivity
Before injection Positive result
38. ICE TEST
An ice pack is applied to the affected upper
eyelid for 5 minutes. A positive test is the
improvement of ptosis by > 2mm or more.
This transient improvement in ptosis is due to
the cold decreasing the acetylcholinesterase
break-down of acetylcholine at the
neuromuscular junction. More acetylcholine
collects in the junction and therefore increases
the muscle contraction.
40. Photographic documentation- it is the most
important aspect of ptosis evaluation. Review
of old photographs gives clue to the duration
and nature of ptosis.
41. So we should examine case of ptosis
carefully before proceeding for surgical
management, to avoid any post operative
surprise.
