Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection in patients with acquired VI nerve palsy. Methods: Twenty-eight patients (16 F and 12 M), mean age 36.4 +/-- 17.8 DS;range 10 - 69 years with acquired VI nerve palsy, have been treated with BTX-A injection into the ipsilateral medial rectus, at least 6 months after onset. At 6 months follow up, a paresis and a paralysis, were respectively diagnosed if the affected eye could be actively abducted or not, across the mid-line;a simple horizontal rectus muscle procedure was performed for the paresis whilst for the paralysis, both a horizontal and vertical muscle transportation procedure were required. Results: A gradual physiological recovery of the lateral rectus muscle was observed in 9 (32%) patients (GROUP I) and surgical treatment was therefore unnecessary;the remaining 19 cases (68%), of which 5 paresis (GROUP II) and 14 paralysis (GROUP III) underwent surgery and within 1 year were all restored to orthotropia. Conclusion: Botulinum toxin type-A (BTX-A) injection is an invaluable tool in the differential diagnosis between paresis versus paralysis of the VIth nerve, allowing the correct choice of surgical procedure.

The identification of jets originating from quarks and gluons,often referred to as quark/gluon tagging,plays an important role in various analyses performed at the Large Hadron Collider,as Standard Model measurements and searches for new particles decaying to quarks often rely on suppressing a large gluon-induced *** paper describes the measurement of the efficiencies of quark/gluon taggers developed within the ATLAS Collaboration,using √s=13 TeV proton–proton collision data with an integrated luminosity of 140 fb^(-1) collected by the ATLAS *** taggers with high performances in rejecting jets from gluon over jets from quarks are studied:one tagger is based on requirements on the number of inner-detector tracks associated with the jet,and the other combines several jet substructure observables using a boosted decision tree.A method is established to determine the quark/gluon fraction in data,by using quark/gluon-enriched subsamples defined by the jet *** in tagging efficiency between data and simulation are provided for jets with transverse momentum between 500 GeV and 2 TeV and for multiple tagger working points.
