Introduction: The nerve fiber layer analyzer uses a scanning laser polarimeter to measure nerve fiber thickness. A sensitivity of 62% and a specificity of 96% has been reported in distinguishing normal and glaucomatous patients 1. No differences have been noted between pre- and postlasik measurements suggesting that the instrument adequately compensates for anterior segment birefringence2. Kremmer S et al .3, and Ozdek SC et al.4, reported significantly reduced nerve fiber layer thickness in myopes. The instrument is said to be able to compensate for refractive errors from -10.0D to + 5.0D manufacturer's information ; . While it is possible that myopes actually have a lower nerve fiber thickness, this would have implications on the ability of the instrument to diagnose glaucoma in myopes. We therefore decided to compare the nerve fiber thickness in emmetropes and myopes using the GDx VCC nerve fiber analyzer. Objective: To compare the nerve fiber thickness in emmetropes and myopes between 4.0D to 8.0D using the GDx VCC nerve fiber analyzer. Design: Non-randomized clinical trial. Participants : 25 emmetropes and 25 myopes between 20 and 40 years with refractive error between 4.0 and 8.0D who were otherwise healthy with no ocular comorbidity were selected for the study. Material and methods : All the study participants underwent a detailed history, anterior and posterior segment examination with special reference to the cup disc ratio to rule out glaucoma. The applanation tension was recorded. Only subjects with IOP 21mmHg and C: D ratio 0.5: 1 were included for the study. All subjects underwent a scanning laser polarimetry with the GDx VCC nerve fiber layer analyzer. Main outcome measures : The TSNIT average, the superior average, the inferior average and the nerve fiber index were recorded. Results: The mean TSNIT average in the emmetropic group was 52.19 4.17 while that in the myopic group was 53.38 4.97. These differences were not significant p 0.28 ; . The superior average in the emmetropes was 64.66 6.76 while that in myopes was 64.61 7.13. These differences were also not significant p 0.98 ; . The inferior average in emmetropes 61.55 7.27 ; was also not significantly different p 0.35 ; from myopes 63.39 8.99 ; . The nerve fiber index in myopes was 19.74 7.63 while that in emmetropes was 21.16 8.90. These differences were not statistically significant p 0.48 ; Conclusion: No significant differences were noted in any of the parameters between the two groups. This contrasts with the study of Kremmer S et al., 3 and Ozdek SC et al likely that the instrument compensation is adequate for myopia. We recommend that a larger study be done to examine the effect of refractive errors on the instrument accuracy. References : 1. Paczka JA, Friedman DS, Quigley HA, Barron Y, Vitale S.

Skin and soft tissue infections that usually follow minor traumatic events or surgical procedures are caused by a wide spectrum of bacteria. We describe a soft tissue infection caused by a Mycobacterium chelonae in an immunocompetent patient who underwent liposculpture and lipofilling of the gluteal-trochanteric region, emphasizing the importance of clinical suspicion and effective treatment of infection. Ann Ital Med Int 2005; 20: 245-247 ; Key words: Infection; Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium chelonae; Plastic surgery. Introduction Rapidly growing mycobacteria are a complex group of environmental organisms that cause human disease. These organisms named for their relatively rapid growth in culture compared with that of slower species such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis ; include three major pathogenic species: M. fortuitum, M. chelonae, M. abscessus. All three have been associated with nosocomial disease1. Skin and soft tissue infections account for a majority of cases caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria, often as a result of surgical procedures or accidental penetrating trauma2, 3. We describe a case of a woman who acquired surgicalsite infection caused by M. chelonae after having liposculpture and lipofilling of the gluteal-trochanteric region performed in a surgical center in Brazil. Case report A previously healthy 56-year-old woman presented with a 2-week clinical syndrome of fever, localized pain, redness, heat and swelling to her left gluteal region, which progressed despite oral amoxicillin-clavulanate therapy. Two months prior to admission she underwent liposculpture and lipofilling in a surgical facility in Brazil; fat tissue was removed from abdomen with liposuction cannulas and transplanted to the bilateral gluteal-trochanteric regions, to reshape and give volume to this area. On admission, laboratory investigations included a white blood cell count of 12 109 L, mild anemia and an erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 68 mm hour. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance of the left gluteal region revealed edema and swelling of soft tissues with some little collections of pus. She received a 6-day course of amoxicillin-clavulanate intravenously 2.2 g 3 times a day ; and oral levofloxacin 750 mg once daily ; . Despite this antimicrobial therapy, fever and local swelling and pain persisted. Specimen for culture was obtained by needle aspiration of the microabscesses. The sample was sent for Gram stain, acid-fast bacteria smears and cultures, routine bacterial and fungal cultures. Microscopic examination of stained smear revealed acid-fast bacilli and the cultures yielded a rapidly growing mycobacterium, eventually identified as M. chelonae by conventional growth and biochemical tests, including morphology of microcolonies, nitrate reduction, arylsulfatase reactions 3 days ; , and tolerance to 5% NaCl4. Two days after the beginning of therapy with intravenous clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily ; and oral moxifloxacin 400 mg once daily ; , the patient presented spontaneous purulent drainage from the wound of lipofilling. A new magnetic resonance of the gluteal region showed the coalescence of the collects to create two macroscopic abscesses. Surgical drainage of the abscesses and resection of the fistula were performed. Drug therapy with oral clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily ; was continued. Over the next 2 weeks she improved markedly, with resolution of fever, pain and swelling. Clarithromycin was discontinued after 3 months, during which time there was no recurrence and normalization of laboratory tests. Discussion M. chelonae is one of those groups of rapidly growing mycobacteria that can cause localized infections in otherwise healthy persons and disseminated disease in patients with impaired immune function5. The spectrum of diseases.

To differentiate physiologic variation from visual field loss with pupillomotor perimetry, the effect of age on the normal pupillomotor field must be known. Given the absence of reported data, the authors aimed to analyze the effect of age on the pupillomotor field as measured with light stimuli of different properties.Subjects consisted of 23 healthy volunteers aged 20 to 28 years "younger subjects" ; and 20 healthy volunteers aged 50 to 67 years "older subjects" ; . Within a field of 20 degrees, a sequence of 25 focal light stimuli was performed repeatedly on a monitor. The pupil light reflex PLR ; was recorded to stimuli of different diameter and luminance under mesopic conditions. The mean amplitude of the PLR was calculated for each stimulus location and condition.Increasing stimulus luminance or size caused a larger PLR amplitude and a steeper decline of the PLR amplitude from the center to the periphery of the pupillomotor field. The older subjects had reduced mean PLR amplitude with a less pronounced decrease of PLR amplitude toward the field periphery. For the peripheral locations, the largest PLR amplitude was found in the temporal superior quadrants. There was considerable intra-individual test-retest variation in PLR amplitudes in younger and older subjects.The PLR is markedly reduced in older compared with younger subjects. Older subjects have a relatively less pronounced central peak of sensitivity. There are intra-individual test-retest variations in PLR amplitude and asymmetries in sensitivity within the normal pupillomotor field at any age. These findings must be considered in interpreting the results of pupillomotor perimetry and bactroban.

Preclinical Research Supporting our Approach We have evaluated the effectiveness of antibiotics administered in front-loaded, sequential pulses in both laboratory and animal studies. Our preliminary findings indicate that the pulsatile dosing of certain antibiotics not only eliminates more bacteria and may reduce the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria strains, but that it is able to do so significantly lower drug concentrations and with potentially shorter courses of therapy than those required under currently available treatments. For example, our preclinical studies have shown the following: ; Pulsed delivery of amoxicillin was demonstrated to have enhanced efficacy in studies in an in vitro experimental model system. These studies showed that a pulsatile amoxicillin dosing regimen elicited significantly greater bacterial killing effects than traditional two- or three-times daily dosing against an intermediate-resistant strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The studies also showed that against a susceptible strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae, both once-daily pulsatile dosing and traditional dosing of amoxicillin exhibited effective bacterial killing. In addition, experiments in which significantly lower doses of amoxicillin were studied indicated that the bactericidal bacteria killing ; effect of a typical clinical amoxicillin dose delivered in traditional divided dose regimens could be matched by a 200-fold lower dose of amoxicillin given in a pulsatile manner. Cha R and Rybak MJ 2004 ; . Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 54: 1067 In the same experimental model system, a pulsatile clarithromycin regimen yielding concentrations that would otherwise be considered sub-therapeutic, killed resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae more effectively than traditional two- or three-times daily dosing, and the pulsatile antibiotic inhibited bacterial regrowth for a longer period of time. When amoxicillin and clarithromycin were co-administered, the pulsatile combination eradicated resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae to undetectable levels, while the antibiotic combination at the same doses was ineffective when given twice- and three-times daily. Leuthner KD, Cheung C, Rybak MJ 2004 ; . 44th Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, Abstract A1169 In a different in vitro experimental system, it was demonstrated that metronidazole was rapidly bactericidal when administered three times daily or in a pulsatile fashion.

Method. This presentation will review the past and current research using these brain imaging techniques with children and adults with ADHD. Case example of results of all three imaging techniques will be discussed. Results. This is not a research study; only a review of past literature and current case examples will be presented. No comparative statistics will be performed. Conclusion. QEEG mapping, QEEG scans and SPECT can be used effectively to accurately diagnose ADHD in children and adults. These techniques can also lead to predictions of medication response and specific neurofeedback protocol development. The QEEG scan is the most efficient test to diagnosis simple ADD ADHD. QEEG maps are the best technique to develop neurofeedback protocols in complex cases with comorbid disorders or when patients are taking medications which cannot be discontinued for assessment. SPECT is best used to predict the type of medications to be successful.
Introduction: Bacteria-producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases ESBLs ; are identified in the clinical laboratory by their resistance to third generation cephalosporins and susceptibility to betalactamase inhibitor compounds such as clavulanic acid. Many clinical laboratories as well as medical community ; in Iran are not fully aware of the importance of ESBLs and how to detect them. The aim of this study was to determine frequency of ESBL-producing organisms among Enterobacteriaceae. Materials and Methods: During October and December 2002, 173 isolates of Enterobacteriaceae were collected from patients with urinary tract infection in a university hospital. Antimicrobial susceptibility to ceftazidime, cefotaxime, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, and other antibiotics determined by the disk diffusion method outlined by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standard NCCLS ; . Doubledisk synergy tests were applied by placing disks of ceftazidime cefotaxime at 20 mm from a disk containing amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. Any enhancement of the zone of inhibition between a cephalosporin disk and that containing the beta-lactamase inhibitor was indicative of the presence of an ESBL. Results: Of 173 patients, 60% were females and 40% males. Escherichiai coli 60% ; was the most common isolated organisms followed by Klebsiella spp 25% ; . Frequency of Enterobacteriaceae resistance to ceftazidime, cefotaxime, and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid was 23%, 28%, and 26%, respectively. In this study 17 of 173 isolates were producers of ESBLs 9.8% ; CI 95%: 6%-15% ; . Eleven of 17 ESBL-producing organisms were Klebsiella spp. 64.7% ; nine K. pneumonia and two K. oxytoca ; and the remaining of six isolates were E. coli 35.3% ; . Conclusions: In this study about 10% of Enterobacteriaceae were ESBL-producers. Microbiological surveillance on ESBLs could play a major role in establishing more an effective antibiotics policies. Thus therapeutic failures by cephalosporins in infections caused by ESBL-producing organisms could be avoidable by using of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. Therefore, the high costs of treatment would be much less. Overall it is necessary for clinicians and medical community to be fully aware of ESBL-producing organisms. Table 1.
