Congenital mesodermal anomalies and glaucoma.

چکیده
T,he symposium was opened by a brief report on the recent conference on oxygen use in premature infants. J. Everett Kinsey, Ph.D., and Arnall Patz, M.D., stated that more oxygen was being used at present in order to decrease infant deaths. Dr. Patz recommended routine ophthalmoscopy of premature infants receiving oxygen. If excessive oxygen is being given, the retinal arterioles will show extreme vasoconstriction. A decrease in oxygen is indicated. This practical method can be carried out by ophthalmologists or by the pediatricians, and it does not require a skilled pediatric team to extract arterial blood and analyze its oxygen count.
