Removal of Intralenticular Magnetic Foreign Bodies with Intraocular Magnet

Purpose: To investigate the possibility of conservation of the lens after removal of intralenticular magnetic foreign bodies with intraocular magnet.Methods: Intralenticular magnetic foreign bodies of 15 patients were removed by using an intraocular magnet. The lens of each injury eye was conserved. Follow-up observation of these cases ranged from one to four years.Results: The intralenticular magnetic foreign bodies of 15 patients were successfully removed.The lens of each injury eye was conserved and the transparence of the lens was properly maintained. Sizes of these foreign bodies were measured, ranging from 0.3 mm to 3mm in diameter. The follow-up observation showed that the corrected visual acuity of 14 cases was not changed after operation.Conclusions: The intraocular magnet is very helpful for removal of magnetic foreign bodies from the transparent lens. This magnet allows removing of the foreign body by the surgeon and no damage to the lens was induced during the operation. Thus, maintenance of visual acuity of most of the patients can be achieved.

Vitreoretinal surgery combined with C-arm fluoroscopic-guided removal of intraorbital foreign body following ocular perforating injury

Perforating ocular trauma with retained intraorbital foreign body （IOrFB） is a severe injury with a poor prognosis. The injury involves the posterior segment of the eye, and foreign bodies are mostly lodged posterior to the globe. Vitreoretinal surgery and IOrFB removal are always performed separately in patients with ocular perforating injury and IOrFBs. Obviously, separate procedures increase the cost and patient discomfort, lntraoperative fluoroscopy,

Disappeared intralenticular foreign body:A case report

BACKGROUND Intralenticular foreign body is rarely encountered in ophthalmic practice.In most cases,subsequent traumatic cataract requires cataract surgery for visual rehabilitation.CASE SUMMARY A 35-year-old man was injured by iron filings in his left eye.After the injury,the patient tried to draw the object out by himself using a magnet;however,the foreign body(FB)was pushed to the equator of the lens.The FB was removed by a magnet through the anterior chamber accessed through the original capsular wound.Since most of the lens was transparent and only partially opaque after the operation,the lens was kept under close observation.After the surgery,the patient’s visual acuity reached 20/20 from 2/20,visual function recovered very well,and local opacity of the lens remained stable.CONCLUSION For intralenticular FB in the anterior cortex under the capsule,magnet may be a more advantageous way to remove the object.

Expansively Hemorrhagic Foreign Body Granuloma at the Pelvis Caused by Microscopic Materials

A foreign body granuloma is a mass lesion consisting of a foreign body with host reaction. Its diagnosis is not always easy in respect of its similarity to soft tissue sarcoma. The most common foreign body is surgical sponge which can be detectable macroscopically. We present a foreign body granuloma in the left buttock caused by microscopic surgical materials that developed into a large lesion. An 80-year-old man with a history of surgery for dislocation of the left hip 20 years earlier, presented with a slowly growing mass that had expanded rapidly over the preceding 2 months. Histological examination revealed organizing granulation tissue surrounding the scattered foreign materials. One should be aware of foreign body granuloma at previously operated sites even without a retained macroscopic gauze sponge.

Clinical Application of X-ray,B-scan,and CT in the Diagnosis of Ocular Foreign Bodies

Purpose:To analyze the sensitivity and specificity of X-ray, B-ultrasound, and CT scan in diagnosing ocular foreign bodies, and to compare the accuracy of these three imaging tools in locating these foreign bodies. Methods:A retrospective review was conducted of radio graphic and clinical eye examination data from 62 patients (66 eyes),suspected of having ocular foreign bodies at time of first presentation to the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center (Guangzhou, China) between August 2007 and October 2011. The sensitivity and specificity of X-ray, B-ultrasound and CT scan in the diagnosis of ocular foreign bodies were investigated and their accuracy in locating these foreign bodies was compared. Results: A total of 75.8% (n=47) subjects had ocular foreign bodies; 66% of these were metallic. Patients with intraocular, eye wall,and extraocular foreign bodies accounted for 46, 28, and 26% of the total, respectively. The sensitivities of X-ray,CT scan,and B-ultrasound in the diagnosis of ocular foreign bodies were 58.3%, 61.7%, and 75%, the specificityies were 63.3%, 100%, and 87.5%, and the accuracy in locating foreign bodies was 73.4%, 94.7%, and 86.5%, respectively. The properties of foreign bodies affected the diagnosistic accuracy of X-ray,but exerted little impact upon B-ultrasound and CT scan. Conclusion:A fairly high incidence of ocular foreign bodies was noted in patients suspected with ocular foreign bodies at their first presentations.X-ray combined with CT scan or X-ray in combination with B-ultrasound showed a relatively high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing ocular foreign bodies. CT scan had the highest accuracy in locating ocular foreignbodies. (Eye Science 2013; 28:11-14)

A Novel Technique for Removal of Urogenital Magnetic Foreign Bodies

Background: There were 800 individual case reports of urogenital foreign bodies in the English literature from 1755 to 1999. The use of urogenital foreign bodies for sexual pleasure is a common occurrence in today’s population. The aim of this discussion is the management of scrotal injury caused by magnetic urogenital foreign bodies. Case Presentation: 56-year-old male with scrotal tissue entrapped between two opposed magnet rings. Self-reported attempts at removal were unsuccessful and caused for presentation to the emergency department. Additional attempts at removal by medical staff unsuccessful in emergency department and therefore the patient proceeded to the operating room. Intraoperatively the use of two cardiac magnets allowed for removal without a need for invasive surgical procedure. Conclusion: Cardiac magnets are preferred means of removal for entrapped skin between magnetic foreign bodies that could be utilized at the bedside.

General anesthesia with endotracheal intubation ensures the quick removal of magnetic foreign bodies:A case report

BACKGROUND The incidence of ingestion of magnetic foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract has been increasing year by year.Due to their strong magnetic attraction,if multiple gastrointestinal foreign bodies enter the small intestine,it can lead to serious complications such as intestinal perforation,necrosis,torsion,and bleeding.Severe cases require surgical intervention.CASE SUMMARY We report a 6-year-old child who accidentally swallowed multiple magnetic balls.Under timely and safe anesthesia,the magnetic balls were quickly removed through gastroscopy before entering the small intestine.CONCLUSION General anesthesia with endotracheal intubation can ensure full anesthesia under the condition of fasting for less than 6 h.In order to prevent magnetic foreign bodies from entering the small intestine,timely and effective measures must be taken to remove the foreign bodies.

Reliability of the ocular trauma score for the predictability of traumatic and post-traumatic retinal detachment after open globe injury

AIM: To elucidate the question of whether the ocular trauma score(OTS) and the zones of injury could be used as a predictive model of traumatic and post traumatic retinal detachment(RD) in patients with open globe injury(OGI).METHODS: A retrospective observational chart analysis of OGI patients was performed. The collected variables consisted of age, date, gender, time of injury, time until repair, mechanism of injury, zone of injury, injury associated vitreous hemorrhage, trauma associated RD, post traumatic RD, aphakia at injury, periocular trauma and OTS in cases of OGI. RESULTS: Totally 102 patients with traumatic OGI with a minimum of 12 mo follow-up and a median age at of 48.6 y(range: 3-104 y) were identified. Final best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) was independent from the time of repair, yet a statistically significant difference was present between the final BCVA and the zone of injury. Severe trauma presenting with an OTS score Ⅰ(P<0.0001) or Ⅱ(P<0.0001) revealed a significantly worse BCVA at last follow up when compared to the cohort with an OTS score >Ⅲ. OGI associated RD was observed in 36/102 patients(35.3%), whereas post traumatic RD(defined as RD following 14 d after OGI) occurred in 37 patients(36.3%). OGI associated RD did not correlate with the OTS and the zone of injury(P=0.193), yet post traumatic RD correlated significantly with zone Ⅲ injuries(P=0.013). CONCLUSION: The study shows a significant association between lower OTS score and zone Ⅲ injury with lower final BCVA and a higher number of surgeries, but only zone Ⅲ could be significantly associated with a higher rate of RD.

Sutureless Intestinal Anastomosis with a Novel Device of Magnetic Compression Anastomosis

Objective To explore the feasibility and efficiency of a novel magnetic compression anastomats(MCAs) in intestinal anastomosis.Methods A total of 36 male mongrel canines underwent intestinal anastomosis using traditional hand-sewn(n=18) or a novel MCAs(n=18).We compared the anastomosis time,postoperative complications,bursting strength of anastomoses,gross appearance,and pathology between two groups at each time-point of follow-up.Results The mean anastomosis time with MCAs was significantly less than that with hand-sewn(8.50±1.95 vs.31.1±4.32 minutes,P<0.001).The blood stools and intussusceptions occurred in both groups during follow-up period.Only 1 mongrel canine receiving intestinal anastomosis by MCAs experienced anastomotic leakage.The average bursting pressure of anastomoses obtained from mongrel canines undergoing intestinal anastomosis by MCAs was significantly higher than that by traditional hand-sewn at 1 week's follow-up time(P<0.05).Gross appearance of the anastomoses constructed by MCAs was relatively smoother and flatter.Pathological evalution of anastomoses revealed that general inflammation was greater in hand-sewn anastomoses than magnetic anastomosis.Conclusion The magnetic compression anastomat is a safe and effective device of sutureless intestinal anastomosis in canine models.

Characteristic analysis on susceptibility weighted imaging of intravitreous foreign body Of autologous eyelashes in rabbits

Objective： To explore the characteristics of susceptibility weighted imaging （SWI） of the intravitreous foreign body of autologous eyelashes in rabbits. Methods： A total of 12 New Zealand white rabbits, either sex, weighing 2.5-3.5 kg, and provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Henan Province were employed in this study. For each rabbit, 5 autologous eyelashes （1 cm in length and 0.2-0.3 mm in diameter） were implanted into the right ocular vitreum, while the left control ocular vitreum received sham operation but nothing was implanted. SWI sequential test was made 2 hours postoperatively. Then the rabbits were killed and the specimens of the vitreous bodies of the rabbits were obtained. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and histological examinations were performed. Results： The autologous eyelashes in 8 ocular vitreums of rabbits showed linear low signal intensity on the magni-tude images and susceptibility weighted images, but linear high signal intensity on the phase images. Among the 12 experimental rabbits, 5 eyelashes in the right vitreum were completely shown in 3 rabbits, partly shown in 5 rabbits （2 eyelashes shown in 3 rabbits and 3 eyelashes shown in 2 rabbits）, and not shown in 4 rabbits. Conelusions： SWI of the foreign body ofintravitreous autologous eyelashes in rabbits has its own characteristics. The combined application of SWI sequential magnitude images, susceptibility weighted images and phase images is helpful to the detection and diagnosis of intravitreous autologous eyelashes in rabbits.

Clinical features,radiological imaging,and treatment strategies of nonmetallic intraorbital foreign bodies:a retrospective analysis

AIM:To provide comprehensive data on nonmetallic intraorbital foreign bodies(IOFBs)by summarizing and analyzing material types,clinical manifestations,imaging features,and treatment strategies.METHODS:Totally 28 nonmetallic IOFB cases treated at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from 2012 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.The types of foreign bodies,clinical features,imaging manifestations,and treatment outcomes were analyzed.RESULTS:Among all cases,67.8%(19/28)of the foreign bodies were organic.The top three entrances were the upper eyelid skin(7/28),lower fornix conjunctiva(6/28),and lower eyelid skin(4/28).In most cases(11/28,39.3%),foreign bodies remained in the medial orbits.The major clinical manifestations included eyelid redness and swelling(20/28,71.4%),conjunctival congestion and edema(17/28,60.7%),and ophthalmoptosis(15/28,53.6%).Infection was the main complication,which occurred in 57.1%(16/28)of all cases.Computerized tomography(CT)values differed for different foreign bodies and varied in the different periods after injury.The plant-and grease-derived foreign bodies and the surrounding pus cysts showed different signals on magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).The prognosis varied with different foreign body types,surgery timing,and intraoperative management.CONCLUSION:The majority of nonmetallic IOFBs are organic and often remain in the superior,medial,and inferior areas of the orbit.Clinical manifestations vary owing to their different textures.CT and MRI facilitate the identification of foreign body materials.Plant-derived foreign bodies should be completely removed,and surgical treatment is a complicated process.

Ocular Siderosis

Ocular siderosis refers to intraocular iron deposition in ocular tissues caused by the long-time retention of penetrating iron-containing foreign bodies, commonly leading to a series of characteristic alterations and severe disorder of visual function. Ocular siderosis, rarely seen in the clinic, can cause irreversible retinal injuries and visual function damage and can even affect the appearance of the eyeballs.These effects significantly decrease the quality of life of patients and lead to poor prognosis.This study summarizes ocular siderosis with respect to pathogenesis,clinical manifestations,diagnosis, treatment, and sequelae,with the aim of assisting clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of ocular siderosis.

Dental Precautions for the Golden Thread Lift Procedure

In cosmetic surgery, golden threads have been used in thread lift procedures, wherein golden threads are placed under the skin of the neck and chin. These are mainly applied in the maxillofacial region adjacent to the sites of dental treatment to achieve cosmetic benefits. However, as dentists typically lack sufficient knowledge about the golden thread lift procedure, it may present a challenge to dental examinations and treatments. It is therefore crucial for dentists to have a comprehensive understanding of the procedure. This case report covers our experience with the dental examination of a patient with golden threads. We emphasize the dental complications and precautions that should be taken for such cases. These golden threads are made of pure gold, nonabsorbable, and can be broken. These can obstruct dental examination, as well as cause metal allergies and foreign body granulomas. Additionally, it is difficult to completely remove these threads when they break apart. In the future, since more patients are expected to undergo this procedure, it is possible to encounter these golden threads as artifacts on imaging. Therefore, it is important to educate dentists about the golden thread lift procedure and its dental implications. It is also imperative to determine whether the patient has undergone the golden thread lift procedure in the medical questionnaire prior to the magnetic resonance imaging examination. Thus, dentists should be able to conduct a detailed interview with the patient, determine the feasibility of examination or treatment, and communicate this assessment to the patient.
