A 59-year-old Japanese woman developed numbness below the level of the lower chest (day 1). She showed mild paraparesis and mild sensory disturbance below the level of Th8. Anti-HTLV-1, antinuclear, and anti-SS-A antibodies were negative. The cerebrospinal fluid yielded 10 lymphocytes/microl and IgG
OBJECTIVE
To describe the occurrence of hypokalemia, metabolic acidosis, and suspected renal tubular acidosis associated with the administration of topical ophthalmic carbonic anhydrase inhibitor (CAI) in a cat.
METHODS
A 2-year-old, 5.3 kg, male, castrated, domestic short-haired cat developed
BACKGROUND
Myocilin is a gene that causes primary open-angle glaucoma(POAG). We found a family with normal tension glaucoma(NTG) whose members had an Asp 208 Glu mutation, and a family with POAG whose members had an Ile 360 Asn mutation in myocilin.
METHODS
In the family with the Asp 208 Glu
We have proposed that the susceptibility of some eyes to glaucomatous damage is due to an abnormal weakness of the structural support of the optic nervehead. To verify this hypothesis and, if it proves correct, to provide an early test of glaucoma, we have developed a noninvasive method of measuring
Phacoemulsification was performed in an 84-year-old woman with ocular hypertension and narrow drainage angles, previously treated by neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser peripheral iridotomy. Despite temporal zonular weakness, the surgery was uneventful. An intraocular lens (IOL) was placed and centered in
OBJECTIVE
To assess the screening efficacy and practical use of two portable devices to detect moderate to severe visual field loss rapidly in population screening.
METHODS
Henson visual field analysis and Damato campimetry for glaucoma were performed in a healthy adult population, to determine
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether the weakness of the structure-function relationship could be produced by test variability alone, without implying underlying dissociation between the true rates of structural and functional change.
METHODS
Perimetric mean deviation (MD), and rim area (RA) and cup
