Herellea vaginicola and ocular infections.

This case report describes a chronic medically-refractory corneal ulcer which eventually yielded Herellea vaginicola from resected corneal tissue. A review of the literature cites the occurrence of this organism as an inhabitant of normal conjunctiva, as an infrequent cause of conjunctivitis, and as the causative agent in two previous cases of corneal ulcers. This case illustrates the difficulty in the isolation of the organism and indicates the need for diagnostic and therapeutic keratectomy in conjunction with a conjunctival flap.

Motivation for rhinoplasty: changes in 5970 cases, in three groups, 1964 to 1997.

The motivational factors were divided into three categories: (1) independent decision, (2) observation of previous patients, and (3) external influences. The results of the percentage breakdown of the patients in our present study are compared with previous results are presented in 1983 in this journal. Once again, the independent decision of the patient was the most important factor in deciding to have cosmetic rhinoplasty, followed by their observation of results in other patients. These two factors have been the motivation in approximately 80% of all the patients in all three studies. The age breakdown of cosmetic rhinoplasty patients shows that after the age of 21, as patients get older, a smaller and smaller percentage of patients was motivated for surgery by independent decision alone. These older patients need external influences to motivate them to have surgery. In most cases, the desire for surgery had smoldered in them since adolescence, and they needed an external "OK" to have it done.
