Objective: To investigate the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in essential tremor (ET).
Methods: Twenty-seven eyes of 27 patients with essential tremor were included in this study. Twentyseven
eyes of 27 healthy volunteers served as controls. All eyes were examined with spectral domain
optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Retinascan Advanced RS-3000; NIDEK, Gamagori, Japan)
using image filling software program (NAVIS-EX, NIDEK, Tokyo, Japan). Results: No statistically
significant difference was detected between ET patients and control group for overall (RNFL) and
foveal retinal thickness parameters. [RNFL thickness (Average thickness p=0.86, superior average
p=0.22, inferior average p=0.24, nasal average p=0.06, temporal average p=0.88), foveal retinal
thickness p=0.63] There was no relationship between OCT parameters and age, gender and duration
of ET (all p>0.05).
Conclusion: We did not find altered RNFL and foveal thickness values in patients with ET compared to
controls. Retinal thickness changes do not seem to be a potentially useful biomarker in ET patients.

Osteolytic disease of the bones have a myriad range of aetiology. One rare cause is Gorham’s disease
or disappearing bone disease. This disease is a diagnosis by exclusion using correlation made with
clinical presentation, radiological findings and histopathological confirmation. Although many different
therapies have been advocated, none have been successful in fully controlling this disease. We present a
case that was detected in a Chinese lady using diagnostic imaging, confirmed with computed tomography
guided biopsy and successfully treated with joint reconstruction using endoprosthesis.

Multicentric disappearing bone disease, or Gorham disease,
is a rare entity. A middle age woman, presented to us with left
sided antalgic gait and severe bony deformity of her left
knee. Radiograph revealed massive bone defect of the
medial condyle of the left tibia with subluxation of the knee
joint. She was scheduled for knee replacement in six months.
However, she developed another lesion over the right hip
that typically mimicked the disease progression of
disappearing bone disease. The right femoral head vanished
progressively within three months without significant history
of infection or trauma. Subsequent bone biopsy of the right
femoral head and left tibia condyle confirmed the diagnosis.
Total knee replacement was carried out for her left knee. She
remained pain free on her left knee. A year later, after
confirming by sequential radiographs that the osteolysis had
stopped, total right hip replacement was performed. Five
years later, she remained pain free and both the arthroplasties
were stable.

8.Ketosteril, a simple drug but high efficiency in science and practice
Journal of Medical Research 2002;18(2):50-51
Use of ketosteril is a solution of supplying the essential aminoacide without complement of nitrogen for patient so limits the hyperuremia during renal failure. In order to enhance the effect of ketosteril, the patient should take up the low protein dietary. This dietary will limit the hyperuremia. The combination ketosteril with the low protein dietary better limits the hyperuremia, currently without leading to lack of essential aminoacid
