• and anyway we can’t see the stars from our house because of Light Pollution. Light Pollution is when you have lots of lights and the lights confuse the sea turtles so they walk into the streets and get run over, and also you can’t see the stars.

• Rather than propa- gating the signal through each of the non-trivial functions F [ W i ] at initialization, we add a skip connection and rescale the function by L learnable parameters α i (which we call residual weights ) that are initialized to zero.

• Closeness is annoying because it’s about the surrender of control.

• According to the cybernetic theory of psychology, the mind is a stack of control systems all trying to keep things copacetic. In this model, happiness comes not from the absence of error in these systems, but from the correction of error.

• The problem is that nobody ever tells you what it feels like to love something. Everybody thinks love feels like perpetual bliss. It doesn’t. It mainly feels annoying.

• the patients with the poorest outlook are those with Stevens-Johnson syndrome. These patients have binocular disease and are sometimes monocular, because they frequently have undergone numerous unsuccessful surgical procedures in the past. A further difficulty with this group is that they are young and require the keratoprosthesis to remain complication-free for many years. As already mentioned, they often have ongoing ocular inflammation, which increases the postoperative complication rate.

  Volume 6, Chapter 44. Keratoprosthesis

• major complication is necrosis of tissue around the keratoprosthesis (Fig. 5). Unless treated, this can lead to subsequent tissue breakdown (melt), aqueous leak, infection, or retinal detachment.

• small doses of corticosteroids are needed, especially in eyes with a previous history of severe inflammation (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome, pemphigoid, chemical burns). Routinely, 10 mg dexamethasone is given by peribulbar injection through the lower lid at the completion of surgery. After 2 to 3 weeks, 20 to 40 mg triamcinolone may be administered by peribulbar injection if inflammation persists.

• in an extremely dry eye, if the prosthesis is allowed to protrude through the skin rather than between the lids, safety is enhanced and the extrusion rate is subsequently reduced

• indicated in cases of corneal blindness for which penetrating keratoplasty is almost certain to fail. Such cases include ocular cicatricial pemphigoid, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, severe chemical burns, severely vascularized corneas, and recurrent graft failure.
