Abstract

Purpose : To report the efficacy of the Quickert procedure in the first case series of involutional entropion in an elderly Asian population, and to introduce the technique to Asian ophthalmologists including general ophthalmologisits and ophthalmic trainees. Methods : We conducted a retrospective review of 13 consecutive patients underwent the Quickert procedure for involutional entropion by occasional eyelid surgeons at Tokushima University Hospital or Mino Tanaka Hospital from September 2003 to April 2010. Demographic data, including gender, age, history of previous eyelid surgery, systemic disease, recurrence of entropion, postoperative complications, and symptoms were analyzed. Results : There were 5 male (38.5%) and 8 female (61.5%) subjects with a mean age of 77.8 years. Three patients underwent previous surgery for entropion were included. Entropion was rectified in all patients by a single Quickert procedure, and no recurrence was observed for a maximum of 89 months after the surgery. Although notching of the eyelid margin and mild symblepharon were observed in one patient, no symptoms associated with these complications were reported. Conclusion : The Quickert procedure can be one of the surgical procedures of choice for involutional entropion and should be common surgical approach for occasional eyelid surgeons in Asia as well as in western countries.

Abstract

The 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks thrust the realities of an asymmetrical threat environment upon the United States in an unprecedented fashion. As a result of these attacks and the likelihood this country will experience additional attacks in the future, the Department of Defense and the subordinate services must understand the roles they will fulfill to identify and defeat this threat in support of homeland defense missions. The Posse Comitatus Act (PCA) is one of many significant issues the armed services must deal with in order to effectively participate in homeland defense. This law is central to much of the confusion and misunderstanding involved in the employment of military forces within the United States. Consequently, the primary question this thesis centers on is: Is it necessary to improve clarity in Department of Defense (DoD) interpretation and guidance of the PCA so that operational commanders are able to understand and support fully homeland defense of the United States of America as it relates to terrorist activities? In order to deter these future terrorist threats, every aspect of the homeland defense mission must be analyzed. Clarifying the meaning of the PCA for military commanders is a crucial step in this analysis.
