Using the eye fixation speculum as an adjunct to pterygium surgery.

A technique is described that overcomes the two biggest problems facing the surgeon when dissecting a pterygium from the cornea-bleeding and eye movement. Our technique however, requires only minimal anesthesia (topical and subconjunctival) and the use of a disposable speculum and suction ring. An added advantage is this particular speculum gives good exposure of the superior bulbar conjunctiva; this facilitates harvesting a conjunctival autograft.

Bronchial responsiveness to methacholine: relation to respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function.

A methacholine bronchial provocation test was administered to 290 subjects obtained from the 1,900 male volunteers participating in the Normative Aging Study. A positive response (less than 20% decline in FEV1) was obtained in 83 subjects. A positive response was associated with current smoking, presence of wheeze and reduced FEV1. Bronchial responsiveness, cigarette smoking, normal subjects, FEV1.
