Pulmonary function in asymptomatic adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.

Pulmonary function studies were performed in 28 asymptomatic adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Tests included spirometry, flow volume curve, measurements of inspired gas distribution, diffusing capacity, closing volume, ventilatory response to carbon dioxide, and arterial blood gas analysis. In addition to the well-known decreases in lung volumes, a reduction in diffusing capacity, arterial oxygen tension, and ventilatory response to carbon dioxide were also documented. Significant correlations existed between the severity of the spinal curvature and the decrease in lung volumes. A significant correlation was also found between the degree of hypoxemia and the reduction in the diffusing capacity, suggesting that a low diffusing could be the cause of the observed arterial hypoxemia.

[The influence of pilocarpine upon the aqueous humour dynamics using ocusert with continuous delivery rate (author's transl)].

Sustained drug release systems could be especially useful in glaucoma treatment. Continuous delivery could be advantageous for maintaining an efficient tissue drug level. The aim of our investigations therefore was not only to control intraocular tension after having applied ocusert, but also to study aqueous humour dynamics by means of tonography. Conventional pilocarpine application and the new sustained drug release system were compared.
