[Our method of functional rheography of eye]. / Nasha metodika funktsional'noi reografii glaza.

The technology of rheoophthalmogram obtaining and processing is modified by creating an automated rheographic complex (ARGC). The test for assessing the function of ocular vessels includes recording of the background rheoophthalmogram, local 10-min hypothermal exposure (+10 +/- 2 degrees C), and repeated recording of rheoophthalmogram 10 and 20 min after hypothermal exposure. The test helps determine the type of neurovascular reaction and the index of ocular vessel elasticity. The studies were carried out in 1050 subjects, 133 of them without ocular disease and 917 patients with myopia, initial open-angle glaucoma, retinal vein thrombosis, central serous chorioretinopathy, central atherosclerotic chorioretinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, toxic degeneration of the optic nerve, and contusions of the eye.

[Epicorneal coatings with kerakol in the combined treatment of keratitis]. / Epikorneal'nye pokrytiia kerakolom v kompleksnom lechenii keratitov.

The paper analyses effectiveness of treatment of keratitis with cornea ulceration in 114 patients with and without epicorneal covering by keracol. The preparation is a dehydrated and powdered cattle cornea. It easily hydrates by the own corneal fluid to a jelly-like consistency in its epicorneal application. It is shown that epicorneal medicinal covering by keracol allows to have a necessary keratoplastic effect in diseases of the cornea accompanied by its ulceration. Microsurgical interventions, such as scarification of epithelium, dosed local keratectomy of superficial pathologically changed portions of the cornea with subsequent epicorneal covering by keracol, allowed to arrest the pathologic process within 3-10 days in 85% of patients; in the control group--the same results were achieved in 68.4% of cases.
