Published: December 1982

Report on the course of disease in a female patient with myocardial sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis was detected in the age of 38 years by reason of acute symptoms. The conditions improved markedly as a result of treatment, nevertheless some complaints persisted referring to a chronic course of the disease. In the age of 47 years a sarcoidotic involvement of the myocardium was deduced from serially appeasing monotopic ventricular extrasystoles regulated only by treatment with corticosteroids. The patient became free from complaints by this treatment. The author deals with the symptomatology of myocardial sarcoidosis, with its clinical picture and therapy. He emphasizes the importance of early detection and corticosteroid treatment.

A Novel Rabbit Model of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction-Induced Dry Eye.

Transl Vis Sci Technol

January 2025

Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., Jacksonville, FL, USA.

Purpose: The objective of this three-phase study was to develop a model of mild to moderate evaporative dry eye to be used to evaluate tear film stability endpoints during product development.

Methods: Rabbits were sedated prior to ophthalmic cautery of meibomian gland orifices. The orifices of eyelid meibomian glands were half-cauterized (to yield obstruction of every other meibomian gland orifices), fully cauterized (to yield obstruction of all meibomian gland orifices), or untreated.

We present a laboratory module that uses isolation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from locally collected stream water samples to introduce undergraduate students to basic microbiological culture-based and molecular techniques. This module also educates them on the global public health threat of antibiotic-resistant organisms. Through eight laboratory sessions, students are involved in quality testing of water sources from their neighborhoods, followed by isolation of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing .
