Treatment of 'vasomotor rhinitis' by the local application of silver nitrate.

A series of 52 patients were closely assessed prospectively to determine the effectiveness, untoward effects and patient acceptance of a new method of treatment of 'vasomotor rhinitis' by silver nitrate application. The patient's age ranged from 11 to 50 years except one who was 58 years old. The report describes the technique used and results obtained following the painting of the 'trigger area' of the nasal mucosa in patients with 'vasomotor rhinitis'.

Effect of anthelmintic treatment on the development of resistance in sheep vaccinated or experimentally infected with Dictyocaulus filaria.

This investigation was undertaken to study the immune response of Iraqi sheep vaccinated with Dictyocaulus filaria larvae (Filiraq) and to determine the effect of tetramisole on the development of resistance to reinfection. The findings confirm the effectiveness of Filiraq in conferring protection against experimental infection with D filaria. However, the administration of anthelmintic four weeks after each vaccination interfered with the development of immunity.
