Histopathological study of delayed Mustard Gas Keratopathy
Aims: Ocular injury by mustard gas (HD) leads to severe eye damage. Long term characterization of mustard gas ocular toxicity has not been described in detail yet. Present study was performed in order to explore chronic histological and immunopathologic effects of HD ocular exposure and try to find etiology for these effects. Methods: This descriptive case study was performed on corneal and...
متن کاملAscorbic acid prevents corneal ulceration and perforation following experimental alkali burns.
Depressed aqueous humor glucose and ascorbic acid levels returned to control values within 14 days following a 20 sec, 6 mm. diameter, 1N sodium hydroxide burn of the rabbit cornea. These corneas did not ulcerate or perforate. After a 20 sec., 12 mm. diameter, 1N sodium hydroxide burn, aqueous humor glucose levels returned to normal values, but ascorbic acid levels remained significantly depres...
متن کاملCorneal ulceration following measles in Nigerian children.
Acute corneal ulceration in malnourished children is the commonest cause of childhood blindness in Northern Nigeria and usually develops after measles. Other severe diseases in malnourished children rarely precipitate corneal ulceration. A survey in a school for blind children showed that 69% of the children were blind from corneal disease, and a survey of children with corneal scars showed tha...
متن کاملPeptic ulceration of the oesophagus following corrosive burns.
Ten cases of combined corrosive and peptic strictures of the oesophagus have been described. The peptic stricture of the oesophagus occurred 20 to 50 years after the corrosive burn. The authors believe that the hiatal hernia was due to the contraction of the fibrotic wall of the oesophagus, and therefore they prefer to call it a traction hiatal hernia. The operation of choice in these cases is ...
متن کاملTopical ascorbate decreases the incidence of corneal ulceration after experimental alkali burns.
A double-masked study of the effects of topical ascorbate on alkali burns utilized 37 rabbit eyes subjected to 20 sec, 12 mm, IN sodium hydroxide burns. Preliminary studies established the ocular acceptability, penetrability, and stability of the solutions used. Eighteen eyes in the experimental group were given two drops of10% ascorbate in Adsorbotear vehicle hourly for 14 hr of each day. Nine...
