Amyl nitrite test in primary glaucoma.
THOUGH ocular hypertension is one of the fundamental symptoms of glaucoma, we have as yet little clinical evidence for an evaluation of its pathological significance and real severity. The only elements at our disposal are those inferred by the study of the pressure curve both spontaneous and after miotic drugs. These studies show that at the onset of the disease the basic pressure may still be...
متن کاملSlit-lamp study of the aqueous veins in simple glaucoma during the amyl nitrite test.
ATTENTION has already been directed to the fall in intra-ocular pressure usually occurring in chronic primary glaucoma during the inspiration of amyl nitrite and its presumable diagnostic and prognostic significance (Cristini and Pagliarani, 1953). It was suggested that this fall might be referred to the widening of the vascular bed and to the decrease of filtration pressure in the capillaries ...

I now use nitrite of amyl mixed with an equal part of oil of coriander, to render it less volatile, and at the same time to cover what is, to my sense of smell, a most disagreeable odour. I find it acts be...
متن کاملAmyl Nitrite Induced Changes in Cardiac Shunts.
Several recent publications have shown that changes in heart murmurs after the inhalation of amyl nitrite may be of diagnostic aid (Vogelpoel et al., 1959; Barlow and Shillingford, 1958). The effect of amyl nitrite on intracardiac heemodynamics and intracardiac heart sounds has been studied extensively by Vogelpoel et al. (1960, 1961) and Schrire et al. (1961). For the past four years amyl nitr...
متن کاملMethaemoglobinaemia after ingestion of amyl nitrite.
We report a case of methaemoglobinaemia in a 2 year old girl after ingestion of an 'aphrodisiac' containing nitrite. The availability of these products, their poor labelling, and their intended presence in domestic bedrooms all serve to increase the hazard they pose to young children.
