A modified filtering operation for neovascular glaucoma.

Thirteen patients with useful vision but suffering from uncontrollable neovascular glaucoma due to total angle closure were treated with modified filtering operations. Ten (77%) of the cases were controlled more than one year postoperatively. Most patients whose pressures were controlled maintained their preoperative visual acuities. These visual results appear to be better than those reported with cyclocryotherapy, where vision is usually lost despite satisfactory pressure control.

Selenium and gamma-glutamyl transferase activity in the serum of thoroughbreds.

Selenium and gamma-glutamyl transferase activity has been measured in the serum of clinically health thoroughbreds. The thoroughbreds, whose performance was reported to be unsatisfactory, had consistently low concentrations of selenium and high activity of gamma-glutamyl transferase in the serum when compared with those whose performance was as expected. Vitamin E levels in the serum showed no such difference. The only other biochemical and haematological abnormality was lower serum phosphate concentrations in the unsatisfactory group. These results suggest that low concentrations of selenium in the serum may be associated with subclinical hepatic insufficiency in the thoroughbred.
