Age-related changes in precorneal tear film stability.

For several years it has been known that the production rate of tears declines as age increases. Reports suggest that this reduction is more apparent in females than in males. Using a noninvasive method we report that a significant linear reduction in precorneal tear film stability occurs between the ages of 8 and 80 years. However, we found no significant differences in tear film stability between males and females.

Diurnal variation in precorneal tear film stability.

The stability of the precorneal tear film as inferred from the tear thinning time (TTT) appears to vary over a single 12-h period. The form of this variation is subject dependent. For the average patient the stability is low early in the morning, and tends to rise to equilibrium level between 10:00 a.m. and 12 noon.

Primary adrenal tumours--a ten-year experience.

The experience of 31 patients with primary adrenal tumours seen in one teaching hospital over a 10-year period is reviewed. There were 10 patients who had benign cortical adenomas; 11 had adrenal cortical carcinomas, and 10 had phaeochromocytomas, one of which was malignant. During the review period, a primary adrenal mass was discovered in 5% of 2951 autopsies performed in the study institution. The diagnosis and management of these uncommon tumours is reviewed.
