Central retinal vein occlusion risk profile: a case-control study.

PURPOSE: To identify risk factors for central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). METHODS: This clinic-based case-control study included 408 patients with CRVO aged 21 years and older and 566 controls who were seen between January 1, 1990, and December 31, 2001. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to adjust for various factors and test potential interactions between the different variables. RESULTS: An increased risk of CRVO was found in persons with systemic hypertension, but odds ratios were greater for older patients. Risk of CRVO increases with age and also in association with hypercoagulability. Diabetes mellitus, kidney disease, and glaucoma were associated with increased risk for CRVO. A significantly greater prevalence of higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate was present in young adults compared with older patients. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest a relationship between CRVO and certain risk factors (systemic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, kidney disease, glaucoma, older age) and support the possibility of an association between CRVO and urban location. The findings also support the potential value of medical treatment of underlying medical conditions in preventing occurrence of CRVO.

Putting into words, putting to rest and putting aside the ancestors. How an analysand who was heir to the Armenian genocide of 1915 worked through mourning.

The author discusses the intergenerational psychic transmission of collective trauma on the basis of her personal experience as a descendant of victims of the Armenian genocide of 1915. She shows how the processes of transmission are encumbered within a diaspora community such as hers by the incorporation of objects in the throes of mourning, the invalidation of prohibitions by murder-become-law, and lack of differentiation between the sexes. A parallel is drawn between the characteristic secrecy of the genocidal project on the part of the perpetrators and the sense of illegitimacy of the victims' descendants, exacerbated in the case of the Armenian catastrophe by the refusal of the state that inherited the genocide to confess to it and consequently its erasure from Western consciousness. The author describes how she was enabled to emerge from confinement in the trauma by her French schooling and her analysis, and subsequently became able to work through mourning and writing, by divulging the secret and in particular the publication of her father's deportation diary. The written text is seen as a shroud in which the dead can finally be interred. Presenting an episode from her schooldays, she demonstrates the importance of her immersion in French culture in allowing her to achieve the necessary linguistic and psychic distance from her heritage.

Hemoglobin J Iran alpha 2 beta 2 77 (EF1) his----Asp in a Russian-Armenian family.

A third case of Hb J Iran is reported. The propositus is of Russian-Armenian origin and was investigated for hematuria. The electrophoretic behavior and the characterization of primary structure are described. Hb J Iran is stable and has normal functional properties. High resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectra suggest the presence of structural perturbations in the heme pocket of the variant. Solubility studies of Hb S/Hb J Iran mixture indicated that His beta 77 belongs to a contact region of deoxy Hb S polymers.

[Classification and treatment in protracted crush syndrome].

Based on the analysis of clinical and laboratory findings in 223 patients with protracted crush syndrome and results of their combined treatment pathogenetic classification of protracted crush-syndrome is proposed. The applied modern methods of detoxication combined with surgical correction of organic damages contributed to substantial reduction of lethality (14.3%) in comparison with existing literature data.

[The mechanisms of the neuroprotective action of carbonate mineral baths in ischemic brain lesions].

Effects of Arzni effervescent mineral baths (EMB) on brain tissue metabolism were studied on white rats (normal controls and those with transitory cerebral ischemia). It was found that EMB prevent ischemia-related disorders of phospholipid and adeninnucleotide pools, promote an increase in vasoactive prostaglandins in brain tissue, shifts in catecholamines concentrations in the hemispheres and hypothalamus, inhibit the activity of monoaminoxidase and absorption of 3H-noradrenaline by brains sections. Mechanisms of neuroprotective action of Arzni EMB in cerebral ischemia are considered.
