Ocular complications of atopic dermatitis in children.

Ocular complications of atopic dermatitis in adults are blepharitis, keratoconjunctivitis, keratoconus, uveitis, subcapsular cataract and retinal detachment. Their frequency varies from 25% to 50%. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and type of ophthalmological complications in children with atopic dermatitis.

[Early markers of nephrotoxicity: variation factors and reproducibility].

Epidemiological validity of early markers of nephrotoxicity currently used in occupational epidemiology has been poorly investigated. The aim of this study was to identify variation factors of these markers, to quantify their intra- and inter-individual variability and to evaluate the consequences of these results on study size and power. A cross-sectional survey was carried out in 1991 in a rotogravure plant including 168 male subjects (92 exposed to toluene and 76 controls).
