Altogether 85 eyes from patients at risk to the development of closed-angle glaucoma were dilated with either parasympatholytic or sympathomimetic drugs. Of 21 eyes dilated with cyclopentolate 1/2%, 9 developed angle closure and a significantly raised pressure at some stage during dilatation and subsequent miosis. Of 58 eyes dilated with tropicamide 1/2%, 19 developed angle closure and a signif...

A dangerous border collision bifurcation has been defined as the dynamical instability that occurs when the basins of attraction of stable fixed points shrink to a set of zero measure as the parameter approaches the bifurcation value from either side. This results in almost all trajectories diverging off to infinity at the bifurcation point, despite the eigenvalues of the fixed points before an...

Exercise induced anaphylaxis and its subtype the Fooddependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis are uncommon and therefore under-diagnosed forms of physical allergy. Triggers include various degrees of exercise in combination with ingestion of specific food products. Treatment remains identical to that of Immunoglobulin Emediated allergic reactions.
