Reflex lacrimation in patients with glaucoma and healthy control subjects by fluorophotometry.
PURPOSE Steady state tear turnover (TTO), defined as TTO under normal physiological conditions, is significantly lower in patients with untreated glaucoma than in healthy control subjects. To obtain more information on the effect of glaucoma on lacrimation, a method for quantification of reflex lacrimation was developed and applied to patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension and healthy co...
متن کاملHemorrhagic Lacrimation and Epistaxis in Acute Hemorrhagic Edema of Infancy
Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy is an uncommon benign cutaneous vasculitis. Despite its worrisome presentation, it carries good prognosis with rarely reported systemic involvement. Management of these cases has been an area of debate with majority of physicians adopting conservative modalities. We report a case that presented with classic triad of rash, low grade fever, and peripheral edema ...
متن کاملOxytocin potentiates carbachol-induced lacrimation in female wistar rats
Oxytocin is a posterior pituitary hormone with important physiological functions. Oxytocin has traditionally important biological functions in regulating the uterine smooth muscle activity and milk ejection during lactation. This study was conducted on albino Wistar female rats to evaluate the effect of oxytocin on carbachol induced lacrimation. Groups of animals (n=7) were injected with oxytoc...
متن کاملThe Relation Between Light-Induced Lacrimation and the Melanopsin-Driven Postillumination Pupil Response.
Purpose To investigate the chromatic characteristics and intensity-response function of light-induced reflex lacrimation and its correlation with the melanopsin-driven postillumination pupil response (PIPR). Methods Eleven visually normal participants completed the experiment. Lacrimation was measured in one eye by placing a calibrated filter paper strip in the conjunctival sac over a 1 minut...
متن کاملRole of proinflammatory cytokines in the impaired lacrimation associated with autoimmune xerophthalmia.
PURPOSE To determine the effects of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1alpha, IL-1beta, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha on neurally mediated lacrimal gland protein secretion and to determine whether the amount of IL-1beta protein is upregulated in inflamed lacrimal glands of the MRL/lpr mouse, a murine model of human Sjögren syndrome. METHODS Lacrimal gland lobules of BALB/...
