All patients were operated by a single surgeon and IOP was measured after first post-operative day, and after intervals of first week, second week, one month and forty days using applanation tonometry (AT) and
fluorescein dye.
After
fluorescein is injected into the antecubital vein, the time it takes to reach the eye depends upon the patient's arm-to-retina circulation time.
The mean value of
fluorescein test was 8.4 ([+ or -]1.88), ranging from 5 to 12 in the control group and 6.6 ([+ or -]1.42), ranging from 5 to 10 in the group with stages III and IV of blepharospasm, yielding a statistically significant difference (Mann Whitney test, p<0.001) (Fig.
The inner primers were designed with a digoxigenin or a
fluorescein moiety at their 51 end; thus, the short products were labelled with digoxigenin for the SJNNV genotype or
fluorescein for the RGNNV genotype.
Fluorescein angiography demonstrated delayed filling and emptying of this artery (Figure 1(B)).
Subsequent endoscopic evaluation of the nasopharynx and oropharynx revealed significant pooling of
fluorescein, but both openings to the eustachian tubes were normal.
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate whether
fluorescein leakage within recent subretinal hemorrhage in pathologic myopia is suggestive of CNV.
Four different regimens were used for intraoperative ureteral evaluation: 1) oral phenazopyridine 200 mg, 2) intravenous sodium
fluorescein 25 mg, 3) mannitol bladder distention, and 4) normal saline bladder distention.
FFA: After the absence of obvious contraindications and negative
fluorescein sodium skin test were determined by general examination for blood pressure, pulse, electrocardiogram and biochemistry, 5 mL of
fluorescein sodium (20%) was intravenously injected for 5 s.

FL is an easily available and biosafe
fluorescein dye with a peak excitation at 465 to 490 nm and emission between 500 and 550 nm and has been used extensively and safely for many years especially in ophthalmology [7, 8].
