IHIIEZIRIMIAN IKIIJIEZIIN SIPJIEAIKS Informal talllk welll reeeiived On Tuesday, May IO, 1952 the Senior Class was given a very interesting and il- luminating heart to heart talk by Dr. Herman Klein, a younger brother of the Registrar. Dr. Klein explained many line points of the shop side of the work and then went on to give a few practical details in Hoiiice psychology. The younger member of the re- nowned Klein family fairly oozed personality, and his method of presenting what seemed an extemporaneous talk made a great hit with the students, He spoke to the students as man to man and particularly stressed ethics and professionalism of which he left the impression of being a walking exponent. I-Ie closed his informal talk by inviting all to visit his oliice at their disposal and it would not be at all surprising if he had many visitors from M. S. O.

THE SCOPE Syimapautlhetiio Uveitis or Sympathetic Uphthalmia By JOHN F. BRENNAN, '32. Sympathetic Uveitis is a much dreaded pathological condition, in which serious inflammation attacks the sound eye after an injury to the other eye. The occurrence of this condition, thankfully, has become fewer in recent years, due to the increased skill in the treatment of perforating wounds, particularly in the ap- plication of antiseptic principles. A perforated woundutherefore, especially if a foreign body is retained within the eye, is therefore a source of great anxiety. Sympathetic Uveitis, primarily results from a perforating wound, one such as is caused by a foreign body, which remains within the eye for some period of time. Wouiatls in the ciliary region, iris or lens, the so-called dangerous zone, and leading to its in- carceration in the scar have always been considered dangerous. lf suppuration supervenes, Sympathetic Uveitis is very unlikely to follow, hence perforating ulcers very seldom fol- low it. The occurrence of this pathological condition takes place at any age, but children are particularly susceptible. It usually begins from four to eight weeks after the injury to the first eye has taken place. Very rarely it occurs much sooner, but the onset may be delayed for many months or even years. There is always an Iridocyclitis in the primarily infected eye. Usually it is a plastic type, which has been set up by the injury and has not subsided in the course of three or four weeks. Instead of quieting down, the ciliary injection remains and there is lacryma- tion and tenderness to pressure. In the sympathizing eye there is almost always found a plastic Iridocyclitis due to other causes. In cases known to have a predisposition to the condition, the first sign may be the presence of precipitates on the back of the cornea. When fully developed all the signs and symptoms of Iridocyclitis are present, varying in degree to the severity of the case. Tension, although difficult to determine on account of the tenderness, is moderately raised. It may then pass into the condition of lowered tension with gradual shrinking of the globe. In most cases a ring synechia forms and secondary glaucoma supervenes. Sympathetic Uveitis sometimes takes two or more years to run its course. The pathology of Sympathetic Uveitis is unknown. The microscopic examination in both the primary infected eye and the sympathizing eye are the same. It is probable that the condition in the sympathizing eye is a Proliferative Uveitis fFuchsj and that the infection, which is pathogenic for the eye alone, is conveyed through the blood stream to the sympathizing eye. QRoemerj. In the earliest stages examined, there are nodular aggregations of small round cells scattered throughout the uveal tract. Evidence which has accumulated in modern times tend to show that Sympathetic Uveitis is an infective disease and is least liable to occur in otherwise likely cases if the wound or retained foreign body is sterile. On the other hand it rarely occurs if actual suppuration has taken place in the primarily infected eye. It is therefore more likely to occur from retention of shot, a chip of stone, glass, etc., than from a particle of hot steel, probably because the latter is sterile. Various theories have been brought forward to explain the occurrence of inflam- mation in the sympathizing eye. It has been suggested that severe inflammation in one eye produces a tendency to ciliary irritation in the other eye by some occult means con- nected with their anatomical and physiological symmetry, but there is no evidence to support this conjecture, The most probable theory is that there is a specific organism, which has as yet escaped observation possibly because it is so small, as to be ultravisible l26l
