Correction of senile (atonic) blepharoptosis during cosmetic blepharoplasty.

Pseudoptosis, caused by skin laxity or by herniation of periorbital fat, can be remedied by the usual cosmetic blepharoplasty. If there is a concomitant mild senile ptosis due to levator weakness, however, we recommend levator muscle plication during the course of the blepharoplasty. While blepharoptosis of significant degree is best treated by resection of the levator, plication works well in a mild degree of senile (or atonic) ptosis (when there is no more than two to 4 mm of droop). It is a simple and effective maneuver, easily performed in association with a cosmetic blepharoplasty.

A house is a center is a house: participatory design for a community counseling center.

Using an environmental-design concept called pattern language, an architectural design group worked with five mental health center staff members to locate, design, and move into a setting for a satellite counseling center. The group first identified environmental problems, especially the lack of privacy, that existed in the counselors' previous setting, a remodeled storefront. However, in their new quarters, a two-story house, staff decided against having private offices; they used the upstairs rooms for counseling and the downstairs for shared spaces and work stations--inexpensive, individual cabinets with desk space that were placed to allow privacy for the user, yet permitted the communication essential for work as a team. After 18 months of use, staff's and clients' reactions to the setting continued to be favorable.
