Clinical utility, feasibility of home tonometry using iCare HOME by glaucoma patients.

Purpose: To determine agreement between diurnal variation testing (DVT) of intraocular pressure (IOP) with Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and iCare HOME (IH) by an optometrist (OP) and home monitoring by participants (PT).

Methods: Patients (18-80 years) with glaucoma and suspects were enrolled. IH IOP and GAT were taken by an OP at 2 h intervals from 8 AM to 4 PM on Day 1 and PT between 6 AM and 9 PM, for the next 2 days.

Synthesis, spectral characterization and biological activity of metal(II) complexes with 4-aminoantipyrine derivatives.

Novel metal(II) complexes derived from furfurylidene-4-aminoantipyrine and 2-aminobenzothiazole were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic (IR, (1)H NMR, UV-Vis., ESR and DART-MS) and other analytical methods. IR spectral studies indicate the binding sites of the ligand with the metal ion.
