This article evaluates the surgical results of medial rectus (MR) muscle recession combined with longitudinal splitting and surgical union of the lateral rectus (LR) and superior rectus (SR) muscles in highly myopic patients. The procedure targets severe strabismus fixus presenting as pronounced esotropia and hypotropia with restricted abduction and elevation. The findings suggest the method is effective when deviant paths of the LR and SR muscles are confirmed by imaging (MRI or CT scan).
All living cells continually detect and respond to external signals. This is true of prokaryotes, whether they are living alone or in biofilms, and it is even more manifestly true in multicellular eukaryotes, where communication between cells and coordination of the cells’ behavior enables the organism to function as a unified whole. In large multicellular organisms like us humans, cells receive signals from their immediate neighbors through short-range signals like neurotransmitters
