Quantitative lacrimal scintillography. I. Method and physiological application.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quantitative lacrimal scintillography, using 99mTc sulphur colloid, a high resolution gamma camera, and quantification using a digital computer, is a highly effective way of assessing lacrimal physiology, and of establishing normal flow and drainage values against which pathological cases may be compared.

Quantitative lacrimal scintillography. II. Lacrimal pathology.
Quantitative lacrimal scintillography is a useful clinical procedure in assessing lacrimal drainage function in patients with epiphora. Examples are presented of patients with canalicular disease, lid abnormalities, 'functional blocks', and dysthroid disease, in which this technique was valuable. Information regarding the dynamics of a functioning and non-functioning dacryocystorhinostomy is el...
متن کاملMorphological Changes of Rabbit Lacrimal Gland Cells from Amiodarone Administration
Background: Amiodarone is a drug that is used for treatment of cardiac arrhythmia after cardiac ischemia. This drug as b blocker decreases arrhythmia rate but it has many side effects on different tissues. Since there are rare reports about changes of lacrimal glands, this research has been carried out to study the morphological and ultrastructural changes of lacrimal gland cells after amiodaro...
متن کاملQuantitative tear lysozyme assay in units of activity per microlitre.
An accurate method of assaying the tear lysozyme concentration in units of activity/mul has been developed. Normal physiological levels which vary with age have been determined. It has been demonstrated that measurement of the volume of tear fluid collected and assay with a calibrated standard are essential for the accurate determination of the precise concentration of lysozyme in the tear flui...
متن کاملInvestigation Reducing Detrimental Effects of Salt Stress on Morphological and Physiological Traits of (Thymus vulgaris) by Application of Salicylic Acid. Elham Harati1*, Bahareh Kashefi1 and Mohammad Matinizadeh2
Salicylic acid (SA) is a naturally occurring plant hormone that has positive effects on growth and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, especially salinity in plants. To evaluate the effects of SA and salt stress on some morphological and physiological traits and quantitative activities of antioxidant enzymes on thyme (Thymus vulgaris), was conducted a factorial pot experiment based on com...
متن کاملComparison of dacryocystography and lacrimal scintigraphy in the diagnosis of functional nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
AIM It appears from the literature that no standardised examination exists for patients with functional nasolacrimal duct obstruction. The role of dacryocystography and lacrimal scintigraphy was compared in the diagnosis and management of these patients. METHOD Patients who were clinically diagnosed as having unilateral or bilateral functional nasolacrimal duct obstruction were prospectively ...
