Treatment of glaucoma following penetrating keratoplasty with transscleral YAG cyclophotocoagulation.

Thirteen patients with refractory glaucoma following penetrating keratoplasty were treated with 180 degree transscleral Neodymium: YAG cyclophotocoagulation. Intraocular pressures below 21 mmHg were achieved in nine patients (69%) with a mean follow up of 19.8 months. Multiple treatments were required in six patients and graft decompensation occurred in five. No patient developed hypotony. Transscleral YAG cyclophotocoagulation is a useful alternative to further surgery in some patients with glaucoma following penetrating keratoplasty.

An evaluation of Na+, C1- and pH ion-specific electrodes in the study of the electrolyte contents of epidermal transudate and sweat.

Ion-specific electrode detectors have been used to measure electrolytes in various biological fluids, including sweat. As part of a study of skin barrier function, we have used such electrodes to detect the presence of sodium, chloride and hydrogen (pH) in the transepidermal water loss. This paper describes the effects of cellophane tape stripping (of human forearm epidermis in vivo) on surface electrolyte concentrations, in parallel with observations on transepidermal water loss and galvanic skin resistance.
