32 eyes with vitroretinal pathologies caused by branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) under went pars plana vitrectomy. Visual acuity was restored postoperatively in 28 of 32 eyes (87.5%). Visual acuity was restored in 19 of 19 eyes (100%) with vitreous opacity only, in 5 of 6 eyes (83.3%) with fibrous proliferation and in 4 of 7 eyes (57.1%) with retinal detachment. Regarding final visual acuity. 78.1% showed 0.1 or better, and 43.8% showed 0.5 or better Among the complications. surgically induced retinal detachment showed the worst prognosis.

We experienced a case of primary aldosteronism due to adrenal adenoma. The patient was 45-year old female, whose main complaints were weakness, headache, and fatigue. By use of abdominal CT scan, ultrasonogram, adrenal angiogram and by result of clinical laboratory findings, we conculuded the diagnosis of adrenal adenoma, and confirmed it by surgical and pathologucal findigs. The clinical sympyoms disappeared after left adrenalectomy, and laboratory findings of renin, aldosterone, electrolutes were normalized but hypertension persisted, so she has been managed by antihypertensives.

The intraocular pressures(IOP) were measured in both eyes of 30 healthy volunteers in sitting, supine, and 30 degrees head down positions One eye was pretreated with 1% carteolol or placebo(Tears naturale)applied in a masked, randomised fashion, while the other served as control. Although IOP changes in response to carteolol and to postural changes were significant(P<0.01), carteolol did not significantly alter relative changes in IOP from positional changes This results suggests that the overall pressure lowering effect may offer some protection to patients with glaucoma.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the drainage effect of silk suture following aspiration of the bursa as an early treatment of chronic lateral malleolar bursitis MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirteen cases, which have over two weeks of history and over one year of follow-up, were investigated. The average duration of follow-up was 16.4 months. The average symptom duration before introduction into this study was 7.8 weeks. With an aseptic technique, the aspiration of the bursa was done with 18G needle and syringe and then the insertion of silk suture through the aspiration needle was performed. The amount of drainage was identified two or three times in a week and stitch out was done at the cessation of drainage. Over one year follow-up, recurrence, infection, pain, and limitation of range of motion were investigated by telephone interview. RESULTS: Redness around the insertion site of silk suture was found in all cases, but there was no development of active infection or recurrence. The average duration of treatment is 10.4 days. CONCLUSION: The drainage with silk suture following aspiration of the bursa is less invasive and very effective method in the early treatment of chronic lateral malleolar bursitis.
