Glaucomatous damage patterns by short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) in glaucoma suspects.
PURPOSE: To determine the glaucomatous visual field damage patterns by short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) in glaucoma suspects, and to compare the frequency of diffuse visual field losses and localized defects. METHODS: 157 eyes of 157 ocular hypertensive subjects who met the selection criteria (intraocular pressure greater than 21 mm Hg and normal standard visual fields) were studied. SWAP was done with a modified Humphrey Field Analyzer. Total (TD) and Pattern Deviation (PD) probability maps were calculated for SWAP. The frequency of abnormlities in the TD and PD were determined, analyzing the visual field loss components. RESULTS: The involvement of the test points was more frequent on the TD plots than on the PD plots for all levels of defects (p< 0.001). The glaucomatous defects also showed certain topographical distribution. CONCLUSIONS: A diffuse sensitivity component of visual field loss was found at all SWAP defect depths in glaucoma suspects.

An in vitro system from Plasmodium falciparum active in endogenous mRNA translation.
An in vitro translation system has been prepared from Plasmodium falciparum by saponin lysis of infected-erythrocytes to free parasites which were homogeneized with glass beads, centrifuged to obtain a S-30 fraction followed by Sephadex G-25 gel filtration. This treatment produced a system with very low contamination of host proteins (<1%). The system, optimized for Mg2+ and K+, translates endogenous mRNA and is active for 80 min which suggests that their protein factors and mRNA are quite stable.
