    Eye for an eye: near-fatal outcome of fungal infection in a young, diabetic girl.
    BMJ Case Rep 2018 Apr 17;2018. Epub 2018 Apr 17.
    Department of Otolaryngology, Academic Medical Centre, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
    In this report, we describe the case of a young, diabetic girl with ketoacidosis who suffered sudden loss of vision of the right eye. The loss of vision was caused by an invasive rhino-orbital-cerebral fungal infection (mucormycosis) with extensive periorbital thrombosis. Despite maximal antifungal and surgical treatment (including exenteration of the right orbit), the clinical situation deteriorated. Read More

    Orbital cellulitis and brain abscess - rare complications of maxillo-spheno-ethmoidal rhinosinusitis.
    Rom J Ophthalmol 2017 Apr-Jun;61(2):133-136
    ENT Department, Clinical Emergency County Hospital, Constanta, Romania.
    Sinus infections can be complicated by ocular infections and, in late phases, by brain parenchyma infection.

    Orbital Cellulitis Presenting as Giant Cell Arteritis: A Case Report.
    Acta Neurol Taiwan 2017 Jun;26(2):72-75
    Department of Neurology, Tri-Service General Hospital, National Defense Medical Center, Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China.
    Purpose: To present a case of orbital cellulitis initially mimicking giant cell arteritis.

    Case Report: An 80-year-old man with a history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus was referred with a prominent progressive headache over the right temporal and periorbital areas. Non-contrast brain CT results were normal, but ESR was elevated. Read More

    Orbital cellulitis.
    Surv Ophthalmol 2017 Dec 15. Epub 2017 Dec 15.
    Department of Ophthalmology, University of Thessaly, Larissa, Greece. Electronic address:
    Orbital cellulitis (OC) is an inflammatory process that involves the tissues located posterior to the orbital septum within the bony orbit, but the term generally is used to describe infectious inflammation. It manifests with erythema and edema of the eyelids, vision loss, fever, headache, proptosis, chemosis, and diplopia. OC usually originates from sinus infection, infection of the eyelids or face, and even hematogenous spread from distant locations. Read More

    Inflammatory foreign body reaction caused by resorbable materials used for orbital fractures repair: A case report.
    Medicine (Baltimore) 2017 Dec;96(49):e8822
    aDepartment of Ophthalmology, Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of MedicinebShanghai Key Laboratory of Orbital Diseases and Ocular Oncology, Shanghai, People's Republic of China.
    Rationale: Resorbable materials have been recommended for orbital fractures repair. Many literatures reported the advantages of resorbable materials in clinical applications, but few reports about complications.

    Patient Concerns: In this study, we encountered a 14-year-old boy treated for the orbital fracture by using resorbable plate, in whom inflammatory foreign body reaction was detected. Read More

    Mesoporous silica-based bioactive glasses for antibiotic-free antibacterial applications.
    Mater Sci Eng C Mater Biol Appl 2018 Feb 10;83:99-107. Epub 2017 Nov 10.
    Institute of Biomaterials, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Cauerstrasse 6, 91058 Erlangen, Germany. Electronic address:
    Bioactive glasses (BGs) are being used in several biomedical applications, one of them being as antibacterial materials. BGs can be produced via melt-quenching technique or sol-gel method. Bactericidal silver-doped sol-gel derived mesoporous silica-based bioactive glasses were reported for the first time in 2000, having the composition 76SiO-19CaO-2PO-3AgO (wt%) and a mean pore diameter of 28nm.
