[Long-term treatment of chronic glaucoma with timolol drops: results after four years (author's transl)].

Thirty patients with chronic glaucoma or chronic ocular hypertension were administered Timolol drops for thirty-eight to forty-nine months. Twenty four eyes had their intra-ocular pressure controlled with Timolol alone, during this period, and eighteen eyes with additional treatment (cholinergic agents or sulfonamides). In two cases, temporary superficial punctate keratopathy developed.

[Results of a double-blind study comparing the effects of timolol and pilocarpine in 110 patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma].

Following a seventeen weeks study including 110 patients with open-angle glaucoma, 81,8% of the patients treated by timolol, administered twice a day, had a satisfactory control of their intraocular pressure, against only 41,8% of those patients treated by pilocarpine, administered four times a day. The side effects liable to timolol are clinically reduced, in a osit with pilocarpine which is followed by a series of well-known subjective and objective signs often causing discomfort to the patients.

[Alpha-methyl-paratyrosine in the treatment of malignant pheochromocytoma].

Alpha-methyl-paratyrosine (Demser) is a specific inhibitor of tyrosine hydroxylation to dopa. It is administered orally and may be given in combination with symptomatic treatments to reduce the hypersecretion of catecholamines. We report two cases of malignant phaeochromocytoma in which this drug was used. A pharmacological study of the compound is presented, and the literature on its long-term use in the treatment of malignant phaeochromocytoma is reviewed. In our second patient, who received alpha-methyl-paratyrosine for 9 months, a study of changes in differential catecholamine excretion showed that the urinary catecholamines were redistributed, with an increase in the dopamine/norepinephrine ratio. An HPLC study of urinary excretion of catecholamines demonstrated that their levels cannot be significantly increased by excretion of alpha-methyl-paratyrosine or its metabolites.
