A 70 year-old female has a drooping left eyelid obstructing her vision and has consented to having the blepharoptosis repaired.

A skin marking pencil was used to outline the external proposed skin incision on the left upper eyelid. The lower edge of the incision was placed in the prominent eyelid crease. The skin was excised to the levator aponeurosis. An attenuated area of levator aponeurosis was dehisced from the lower strip. Three 6-0 silk sutures were then placed in mattress fashion, attaching this attenuated tissue superiorly to the intact tissue inferiorly. This provided moderate elevation of the eyelid.

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Team work : A sports team is not only composed of single ethnic faction but a combination of diverse ethnic and cultural groups.

The water-soluble vitamins demonstrated to be toxic in large doses are:
nignag [31]
<span>Vitamins are classified as either fat soluble (vitamins A, D, E and K) or water soluble (vitamins B and C). This difference between the two groups is very important. It determines how each vitamin acts within the body. Fat soluble vitamins, once they have been stored in tissues in the body, tend to remain there. This means that if a person takes in too much of a fat soluble vitamin, over time they can have too much of that vitamin present in their body, a potentially dangerous condition called hypervitaminosis (literally, too much vitamin in the body). Water-soluble vitamins, including vitamins C and B, are excreted much more quickly than fat-soluble vitamins, and they need to be replaced more frequently.</span>
