The local ERG (LERG) from detached retina within the intact rabbit eye has been recorded. Retinal detachments were made in Dutch rabbit eyes by injecting Hanks' balanced salt solution into the subretinal space through a glass micropipette. Electrical responses were recorded with a double-barrelled microelectrode that was advanced through the vitreous until the tip penetrated the retina to enter...

One titrimetric and two spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the determination of diethylcarbamazine citrate (DEC) in bulk drug and in formulations using potassium iodate and potassium iodide as reagent. The methods employ the well-known analytical reaction between iodate and iodide in the presence of acid. In titrimetry (method A), the drug was treated with a measured excess of thiosulf...

The concentration profiles along the feeding direction of a one side fed gel reactor are analyzed for the iodate-arsenous acid reaction. Multiplicity of inhomogeneous stationary solutions is derived. It is also shown that such profiles may undergo oscillatory bifurcations under long range activation conditions. The bifurcation diagram is analyzed using a Galerkin approximation, the asymptotic v...

PURPOSE The subretinal fluid of serous retinal detachments contains protein, but little is known about its origin and fate. The authors designed experiments to study the rate and route of albumin movement out of the subretinal space. METHODS Experimental retinal detachments were made in Dutch rabbits by injecting Hanks' balanced salt solution containing serum levels (approximately 30 mg/ml) o...
