Retinal atrophy in albino rats associated with Pituranthos triradiatus (umbelliferae)-induced photosensitization.
Pitirrunthos /rirudiutir.s is a common perennial in the Negev desert and although its dense tufts are green all the year, it only occasionally is grazed by goats or gazelles (D. Ashkenazy, personal communication). Five furocoumarins were detected in the shoots of this plant.’ Some furocoumarins present in different members of the Umbelliferae are known to induce photosensitization in various an...
متن کاملClinical studies on progressive retinal atrophy in 31 dogs
During a 2-year period, 31 cases of a hereditary retinal degeneration in dogs bred in India were found mainly suspected for progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) with typical history of initial nyctalopia followed by hemeralopia. Out of 31 PRA suspected dogs, 8 dogs (26%) were from the age group of 1-5 years, 15 (48%) 6-10 years and the rest (26%) 11-15 years. The most predominant breed was Spitz (...
متن کاملRetinal atrophy induced by intravitreous colchicine.
Colchicine is known to inhibit axoplasmic transport in ganglion cells. Previous studies have shown considerable, but largely reversible, retinal changes after low dosages of intravitreal colchicine in experimental animals. In the present study, the effects of 1.0 to 100 micrograms of intravitreal colchicine in monkeys were studied by ophthalmoscopy, light microscopy, and electron microscopy. Op...
متن کاملDrug-induced Photosensitivity.
Ultraviolet radiation is considered the main environmental physical hazard to the skin. It is responsible for photoaging, sunburns, carcinogenesis, and photodermatoses, including drug-induced photosensitivity. Drug-induced photosensitivity is an abnormal skin reaction either to sunlight or to artificial light. Drugs may be a cause of photoallergic, phototoxic, and photoaggravated dermatitis. Th...
متن کاملPineal photosensitivity. A comparison with retinal photoreception.
Pineal photoreceptors of poikilothermic vertebrates possess numerous anatomical, physiological and biochemical similarities to retinal photoreceptors, including the rhythmic melatonin biosynthesis, with nocturnal peaks and low day-time levels. This brief outline will survey the photoreceptor properties of the pineal organ of poikilothermic vertebrates, which suggest that the pineal is not only ...
