A de novo mutation of the ACTA2 gene encoding the smooth muscle cell α-actin has been established in patients with multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome associated with patent ductus arteriosus and mydriasis present at birth.

A smaller expression of IL-6 to the overall cytokine network value was observed in cases receiving preoperative bromfenac 0.09%, explaining improved maintenance of intraoperative mydriasis.[J Refract Surg.2018;34(10):646-652.].
Choroidal thickness of all subjects was measured using an optical coherence tomography device (Spectralis OCT, version 6.0, Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) with an enhanced depth imaging mode without pupil dilation.
Here, 9-month-olds (N = 59) showing clearer neural processing (Event-related potential, ERP) of a give-me gesture also evidenced a stronger reaction (pupil dilation) to an inappropriate response to a give-me gesture, and at 2 years were more likely to give in response to a give-me gesture.

In the univariate analysis, factors associated with an unfavorable outcome were preoperative coagulopathy, midline shift of the brain ≥ 5 mm, basal cistern effacement, moderate to severe TBI, hypotension, fixed and dilated pupils, surgical site infection, hematocrit < 30% on admission, coup contusion, and subdural hematoma.
The clinical investigations included ophthalmological and radiological studies for von Hippel-Lindau disease (magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, computed tomography of the abdomen, and direct ophthalmoscopy after mydriasis) and annual calcitonin stimulation tests for C cell disease in five members who agreed to regular follow-up.
The corneas exposed to gB1s show the appearance of mydriasis and high levels of TLR2 and IL-8 mRNAs transcripts were detected in the superficial layer of corneal epithelial cells.
