Latanoprost and the ibopamine test: a year's experience.

We report here the results obtained in a group of 52 eyes affected by open-angle Glaucoma (OAG), whose intraocular pressure (IOP) was inadequately controlled by two drugs of different pharmacological categories, into which there was introduced Latanoprost, both in place of one of the two drugs and in addition to the preceding therapy. The ocular hypotensive effect was good (21.74%). The ibopamine provocative test, carried out before the Latanoprost administration, and at 3 and 6 months into treatment gave evidence that outflow pathway compromission was uninfluenced by the drug.

Dynamic cerclage in traumatology.

"Dynamic cerclage", better known by its German name "Zugürtung", is a technique of osteosynthesis which uses movement to obtain physiological compression at the fracture site in order to accelerate the process of repair. Applied by Pauwels as early as 1935, and later by Muller et al., 1970 and the Swiss A.O. group, it is still relatively little known despite its value. The author has extended its application to various parts of the skeleton and presents his experience which extends over more than 15 years.

External fixation devices in fractures of the leg.

External fixation devices, of which there are many types, represent a new and extremely effective method of fixation in fractures of the leg. These are extremely common, frequently severe and often complicated by a variety of other lesions. The usefulness of this method lies in the fact that they can be applied immediately with minimal additional trauma, and the fracture can be immobilised whilst leaving the damaged area uncovered and thus available to carry out repairs and reconstruction of the soft tissues. Mobilisation of the patient is not impeded, and they can be replaced by other more traditional methods as and when these may become more appropriate. The author presents his own views based on some ten years experience with external fixation devices in traumatology, with special reference to fractures of the tibia.
