The author presents the up-to-date opinions on the problem of "normal" intraocular pressure connecting it with another hydro- and haemodynamic parameters of the eye. Subsequently he discusses the contradictory opinions whether one has to distinguish two clinical conditions: intraocular hypertension and the initial period of open angle glaucoma. According to the author the initiation of the ++anti-glaucoma treatment should be considered individually in each particular case but before the onset of changes at the fundus and before the impairment of the visual field.

[Doppler color ultrasonography in the evaluation of orbital and eyeball vessels].

31 persons without any changes in visual system and 16 patients with vascular lesions were examined using Doppler colour ultrasonography. This method allowed to identify and evaluate the blood flow in central retinal artery, ophthalmic artery and in ciliary arteries. The authors described a typical picture of normal eyeball and orbita as well as the blood flow observed with Doppler pulsation wave. It was found that normal orbital veins were difficult to observe. The pathological changes of the blood flow in carotid artery occlusion, in arterial-cavernous shunt and in retrobulbar neuritis were also described. The authors indicate a great diagnostic usefulness of the method.

[Lowe's syndrome].

The authors described symptoms of oculocerebral Lowe's syndrome and presented a case of this disease. It concerned a 3-week old baby with congenital cataract, hyperaminoaciduria and increasing mental and psychomotor retardation. During 16-month observation, local and general symptoms typical of Lowe's syndrome appeared.

Anaesthesia for orthotopic allogenic liver transplantation in pigs.

Anaesthesia with a mixture of halothane, nitrous oxide and oxygen was used for allogenic liver transplantation in 24 pigs. All animals had haemodynamic disturbances due to the technique of the operation: metabolic acidosis, disturbances of bioelectric activity of the heart and electrolyte level changes. The methods of management of these disturbances are discussed. Favourable results were obtained when transfusing heparinized stored blood in place of initially used ACD blood which increased the intensity of metabolic acidosis. Details of the technique and method of anaesthesia and monitoring of animals during operation are discussed.
