Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic protozoal disease caused by the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii and characterized polymorphism of clinical symptoms with predominant involvement nervous, lymphatic systems, eyes, skeletal muscles myocardium. Despite variety therapeutic agents, treatment toxoplasmosis remains problematic requires an interdisciplinary approach. Complete release toxoplasmas fro...

We report the in vivo observation of protein diffusivity in rabbit lenses with the use of laser light-scattering spectroscopy. Levels of laser light irradiation, which we estimate to correspond to a level less than that used in routine ophthalmoscopy, were adequate for observation. The in vivo measurements agreed with measurements on the same lens after excision from the animal. Since changes i...

introduction : frosted branch angiitis(fba) is a panuveitis with sheating of all retinal vesssels. case presentation : herein we report an immunocompetent person who presented with fever, headache, atypical rash, and hazy vision. ophthalmoscopy of both eyes revealed perivascular sheathing with frosted branch angiitis pattern in veins, patchy retinal hemorrhages. aqueous pcr analysis turned posi...

PURPOSE To compare retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening experiences using binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO) and wide-field digital retinal imaging (WFDRI) at centers in Auckland, New Zealand, with those of other centers in Australasia. METHODS A web-based survey regarding methods of screening for ROP was distributed to ophthalmologists in Australia and New Zealand. RESULTS Thirt...

Higher-order optical errors of the human eye are often responsible for reduced visual acuity in spite of an optimal spherical or cylindrical refraction. These optical aberrations are of natural origin or can result from operations on the eye involving optical structures. The presented wavefront analyzer is based on Tscherning's aberroscope. A collimated laser beam illuminates a mask with regula...

One case of non-penetrance of the familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) gene at 59 years of age and late onset of polyps on endoscopy and biopsy in this and two other families is described. Screening protocols should include dental screening as well as indirect ophthalmoscopy and endoscopy to detect minimal manifestations of the gene. In the absence of a specific DNA predictive test, bowel scree...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the use of polymorphic DNA probes linked to the APC gene in the presymptomatic diagnosis of familial adenomatous polyposis. DESIGN Four DNA probes were tested on an unselected population of patients at risk of familial adenomatous polyposis. SUBJECTS The first 47 families notified to the West Midlands familial adenomatous polyposis register. Plus five families sent to...

Sixty cases of traumatic hyphaema due to non-perforating injury were admitted during a 3-year period ending in June, I971. Eight patients were not available for out-patient observation and this study deals with the remaining 52 cases. The majority of patients were admitted to hospital and confined to bed except for toilet facilities. All were examined by indirect ophthalmoscopy whilst in the wa...
