In 1865, Bowman was the first to recog­ nize the clinical entity of pupillary block, which he observed more frequently after cataract extraction without iridectomy than after cataract extraction with iridectomy. Bowman described this condition only as occurring shortly after discission of a sec­ ondary cataract. From his description it may be surmised that the mechanism in­ volved was obstructi...

During germination, the content of the major Bowman-Birk proteinase inhibitor (BB-E) in the cotyledons of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill cv. Fiskeby V) seeds decreases, becoming a minor form by the sixth day of germination. One of the three other minor species (BB-D) of this inhibitor in the dry seed increases to become the major form in six-day cotyledons. The other two minor species (BB-C ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of the shape of Bowman probes on the success of primary probing for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Records of 42 nasolacrimal duct obstructions in 37 children who underwent probing with straight Bowman probes (group A) and 128 nasolacrimal duct obstructions in 110 children who underwent probing with Bowman probes manually bent to...

PURPOSE To report national case-finding results for nontuberculous mycobacterial keratitis and describe its association with laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). DESIGN Enhanced passive disease reporting. METHODS In April 2001, we investigated a California cluster of Mycobacterium chelonae keratitis associated with hyperopic LASIK using a contact lens mask. To identify other possibly relat...

PURPOSE To report a case of corneal ectasia following hyperopic laser in situ keratomileusis in a patient who had previous laser thermal keratoplasty. METHODS Case report. RESULTS We report a case of a 66-year-old emmetropic man initially presented with complaint of difficulty reading without correction. Laser thermal keratoplasty (LTK) was performed on the non-dominant right eye, resulting...
