Macular dazzling test in central serous retinopathy using electronic flash.

Recovery time after dazzling the macula by conventional electronic flash used by the photographer instead of the light of an ophthalmoscope was recorded in 100 normal subjects and 50 cases of active central serous retinopathy. In normal subjects the recovery time after macular dazzling test was 10 to 54 seconds. There was no difference in value between the two sexes. The recovery value increases with the advancement of age. The recovery time was 10 to 15 minutes in cases of active central serous retinopathy and there was no delay in recovery time in healed central serous retinopathy. The values elicited by electronic flash were repeatable in comparison to the technique of dazzling the macula by light of an ophthalmoscope.

Ear-lobe crease and ear-canal hair as predictors of coronary artery disease in Indian population.

215 patients of different communities were selected randomly to predict the correlation between the ear-lobe crease, ear-canal hair and coronary artery disease. On analysis, it was found that prevalence of the ear-lobe crease increases with advancing age, and the incidence was much more higher in Sindhis in whom the overall incidence of CAD is also significantly high. Bilateral diagonal ear-lobe crease was found to be significantly (P less than 0.001) associated in patients with documented CAD, and a significant difference was also observed between men with and without CAD in the presence of ear-canal hair with age matched group. The combined presence of ear-lobe crease and ear-canal hair was more definite and more sensitive index of underlying CAD.
