Tears are absorbed by a tuft of cotton and subjected to stix test for leucocyte-esterase (L), nitrite (N), haemoglobin (H), and albumin (A). Testing of 84 cases of infectious conjunctivitis and 282 normals revealed nosographic sensitivity to L in 89% and a specificity of 98%. By including N (only
Sclera from donor globes was eluted in phosphate-buffered saline at 4 degrees C for 24 hr. Hemolytic assays were used to measure functional C1, C4, C2, C3, C5 and C6 in scleral eluates. Radial immunodiffusion was used to measure Factor B, a component of the alternative complement pathway, and
This retrospective study investigated the risk factors of exudative retinal detachment (ERD) occurring after vitrectomy performed to treat proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).All patients were treated with vitrectomy for PDR. Patients with history(s) of the following were excluded: ocular
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the gastrointestinal tract at any point from the mouth to the rectum. Patients may experience diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, weight loss, abdominal masses, and anemia. Extraintestinal manifestations of Crohn's disease include
Alkylating drugs (cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide) have been in clinical use for the treatment of malignant diseases in the past. They are most useful anticancer agents and cyclophosphamide is also widely used for its immunosuppressive properties. However the effect of alkylating drugs on thyroid
In the present study, we compared hemolytic activities of C1, C4, C2, C3, C5, C6 and C7 in the anterior and posterior sclera. Additionally, we used radial immunodiffusion to measure levels of Factor B, IgG, IgA and albumin in the anterior and posterior sclera. Except for C1, complement levels were
