1. Chemosensory Dysfunction 3-Months After COVID-19, Medications and Factors Associated with Complete Recovery

   ANNALS OF OTOLOGY RHINOLOGY AND LARYNGOLOGY, v.132, n.10, p.1177-1185, 2023

   Objectives: To examine the longitudinal prevalence and recovery of olfactory, gustatory, and oral chemesthetic deficits in a sizable cohort of SARS-CoV-2 infected persons using quantitative testing. To determine whether demographic and clinical factors, mainly the medications used after the COVID...

2. Surgical management of retinal detachment and macular holes secondary to ocular toxoplasmosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

   INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RETINA AND VITREOUS, v.10, n.1, article ID 23, 12p, 2024

   BackgroundToxoplasma gondii causes ocular toxoplasmosis (OT), involving inflammation, scarring, and retinal complications. The OT complications were retinal detachment (RD), and retinal breakage (RB). Surgical interventions like scleral buckling (SB) and vitrectomy are common. Limited understandi...

3. Relationship between automated choroidal thickness measurements and retinal sensitivity using microperimetry in patients with myopia and different stages of myopic maculopathy

   INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RETINA AND VITREOUS, v.10, n.1, article ID 26, 11p, 2024

   Purpose To assess the relationship between macular choroidal thickness (CT) measurements and retinal sensitivity (RS) in eyes with myopia and different stages of myopic maculopathy. Methods A masked, cross-sectional, and consecutive study involving patients with emmetropia/myopia (control group) ...

4. Endoscopic Study of Ethmoidal Canals in Cadavers, Including a Histological Analysis of Their Contents

   INTERNATIONAL ARCHIVES OF OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY, v.28, n.1, p.E70-E75, 2024

   Introduction The advent of the endoscope has enabled the use of the endonasal approach for a variety of diseases. Studying the ethmoidal canals is important for surgeries of the paranasal sinuses and the anterior base of the skull.Objective To investigate the ethmoidal canals and evaluate their s...

5. Correlation between retinal sensitivity assessed by microperimetry and structural abnormalities on optical coherence tomography after successful epiretinal membrane surgery

   INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RETINA AND VITREOUS, v.10, n.1, article ID 24, 11p, 2024

   BackgroundTo verify the correlation between retinal sensitivity (RS) assessed by the microperimetry (MP) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters measured in eyes submitted to pars-plana vitrectomy (PPV) for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) treatment.Methods43 patients underwent PPV....

6. Retinoblastoma treatment in a Brazilian population. Presentation and long-term results

   CANCER MEDICINE, v.13, n.3, 2024

   IntroductionRetinoblastoma is a malignant tumor with a high cure potential when proper therapy is used. The purpose of this paper is to report the clinical features and outcomes of patients with retinoblastoma who were treated with a combination of local and systemic chemotherapy-based protocols....

7. Optical coherence tomography detection of retinal neural loss in patients with tuberous sclerosis

   INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RETINA AND VITREOUS, v.10, n.1, article ID 15, 9p, 2024

   PurposeTuberous Sclerosis (TS) is a rare, multisystem genetic disease caused by mutations in the TSC1 and TSC2 genes, leading to abnormalities in cell differentiation and proliferation. This study aimed to evaluate the neural integrity of individuals with TS by using Optical Coherence Tomography ...

8. Normative data for macular perimetry using the MP-3 microperimeter in healthy individuals

   ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS DE OFTALMOLOGIA, v.87, n.5, article ID e20210472, 7p, 2024

   Purpose: Microperimetry has been used for several years as a form of visual function testing in patients with retinal diseases. Normal microperimetry values obtained with microperimeter MP-3 have not yet been fully published, and baseline values for topographic macular sensitivity and correlation...

10. Impact of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis on IL-12 and IL-8

    IRANIAN JOURNAL OF OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY, v.35, n.1, p.21-27, 2023

    Introduction: The pathophysiology of Chronic Rhinosinusitis is coordinated by distinct inflammatory reactions in different individuals. Inflammatory environments with a predominance of Th2 lymphocytes tend also to be rich in eosinophils. These environments are common during the formation of nasal...
