Corneal Toxicity Following Exposure to Asclepias Tuberosa
PURPOSE To present a case of corneal toxicity following exposure to milky plant latex from Asclepias tuberosa. METHODS A 70-year-old female presented with blurred vision and pain in her left eye after handling an Ascepias tuberosa. Clinical examination revealed a corneal stromal oedema with small epithelial defects. The corneal endothelium was intact and folds in Descemets membrane were obser...
متن کاملOcular Toxicity Secondary to Asclepias physocarpa: The Balloon Plant
We report a case of a 65-year-old woman with symptoms of blurred vision and ocular irritation a few hours after accidental contact of the right eye with Asclepias physocarpa milky latex. Observation showed a diffuse conjunctival hyperemia and stromal corneal edema with Descemet's membrane folds. Recovery was fast and apparently complete in less than one month. However, specular microscopy at 6-...
متن کامل5,11-Epoxymegastigmanes from the leaves of Asclepias fruticosa).
Five new megastigmane glucosides and one of their aglycones were isolated, along with (6S,9R)-roseoside, from the polar fraction of the leaves of Asclepias fruticosa, and the structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. Most of them have an epoxy-linkage between C-5 and C-11. The configurations at C-3 and C-9 for each compound were confirmed to be S and R, respectively, by application o...
متن کاملCorneal endothelial toxicity of air and SF6.
PURPOSE The authors conducted in vivo assessment of corneal endothelial toxicity of air and SF6 in the feline model. This research was motivated by the increased use of air in anterior segment surgery in human subjects. METHODS This was a prospective masked study. The eyes of 16 healthy adult cats were randomly assigned for the injection of 0.7 mL air into the anterior chamber of one eye and ...
متن کاملStructural, morphological, and functional correlates of corneal endothelial toxicity following corneal exposure to sulfur mustard vapor.
PURPOSE Sulfur mustard (SM) is a highly reactive vesicant that causes severe ocular injuries. Following exposure to moderate or high doses, a subset of victims develops a chronic injury known as mustard gas keratopathy (MGK) involving a keratitis of unknown etiopathogenesis with secondary keratopathies such as persistent epithelial lesions, corneal neovascularization, and progressive corneal de...
