Choroidal rupture associated with forceps delivery.

PURPOSE: To report a case of choroidal rupture associated with forceps delivery. METHOD: Case report. RESULTS: We examined a 4-year-old boy with a history of a retinal scar in the right eye. The child was delivered with forceps and had bitemporal ecchymoses at birth. There was no other history of trauma. Ophthalmoscopic examination of the right eye with a vision of counting fingers revealed linear scars from choroidal rupture in the posterior pole, including one through the macula. Anterior segment examination was normal. Examination of the left eye was completely normal. CONCLUSION: Ocular trauma associated with forceps delivery may rarely result in choroidal ruptures, even in the absence of external signs of injury, such as breaks in Descemet membrane.

Orbital compartment syndrome caused by intraorbital bacitracin ointment after endoscopic sinus surgery.

PURPOSE: To present an unusual case of orbital compartment syndrome after endoscopic sinus surgery. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: Acute proptosis, chemosis, decreased vision, and ophthalmoplegia were found immediately after endoscopic sinus surgery. Ophthalmologic evaluation showed a tense orbit, and intraocular pressure increased to 54 mm Hg. Treatment was initiated and the intraocular pressure dropped. Computed tomography (CT) revealed the presence of bacitracin ointment in the orbit. CONCLUSION: Ophthalmic complications after sinus surgery are well identified. Postoperative orbital compartment syndrome may be caused by retrobulbar hemorrhage, edema, air (emphysema), or foreign material. In this case, the findings were caused by inadvertent injection of bacitracin ointment into the orbit.

Plasma LH and gonadal LH-binding cells in normal and surgically decapitated chick embryos.

Plasma luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations and the numerical density (Nv) of gonadal LH-binding (LH-positive) cells were determined in intact male and female chick embryos from Days 10.5 through 18.5 of incubation for plasma LH and from Days 6.5 through 19.5 for LH-binding cells, as well as in Day 15.5 decapitated ("hypophysectomized") embryos with pituitary transplants for both plasma LH and LH-binding cells. The data demonstrate that LH is already present in the plasma of male and female embryos as early as Day 10.5, the first day examined. Plasma LH levels in hypophysectomized embryos were statistically significantly lower than those of intact embryos, while pituitary transplants to the chorioallantoic membrane of hypophysectomized embryos elevated plasma LH concentrations to levels not statistically different from those of intacts. The "role(s)" of plasma LH levels and changes in form and numerical density (Nv) of gonadal LH-binding cells in the maturation of the pituitary-gonadal axes of the chick embryo are discussed and evaluated.

Characteristics of operators of adult psychiatric foster homes.

To discover characteristics of adult foster home operators that might improve future selection and training procedures, the authors studied 39 operators who lived and worked with chronic psychiatric patients from a VA hospital. The findings supported their hypothesis that foster home operators have higher behavioral expectations of the mentally ill than does the normative population, in this case a group of college sophomores. Other findings included the fact that the operators most preferred clients diagnosed as being depressed or anxious and least preferred those who were alcoholic. The reason most gave for being foster home operators was that they wanted to help people.
