Drug-Induced Angle-Closure Glaucoma
10.5005/jp-journals-10008-1100 ArujREVIEW K Khurana ARTICLE et al Drug-induced Angle-Closure Glaucoma Aruj K Khurana, Bhawna Khurana, Ashok K Khurana Regional Institute of Ophthalmology, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak, Haryana, India Correspondence: Ashok K Khurana, Senior Professor, Regional Institute of Ophthalmology, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak, Haryana, India ABSTRACT Drug-induced angle-closure glaucoma is an important entity for the ophthalmologist as well as the general physician as it represents a preventable cause of potential blindness. This brief review highlights the fact that a high index of suspicion, in a susceptible individual followed by confirmation on appropriate imaging modality (UBM, ultrasound or anterior segment OCT) can alleviate the threat to sight and also help to institute appropriate therapy.

Anticholinergic Drugs and Dementia
DEMENTIA Q&A 24 Anticholinergic drugs and dementia Anticholinergics are a class of drug used to treat a wide variety of medical conditions. As with any medication, anticholinergics can have many beneficial effects, but these need to be balanced against a number of potential risks. This sheet provides information about how these drugs work as well as the impact that they may have in respect to dementia risk and cognitive functioning.

Acepromazine and Chlorpromazine As Pharmaceutical-Grade Alternatives to Chlorprothixene for Pupillary Light Reflex Imaging in Mice
Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science Vol 59, No 2 Copyright 2020 March 2020 by the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science Pages 197–203 Acepromazine and Chlorpromazine as Pharmaceutical-grade Alternatives to Chlorprothixene for Pupillary Light Reflex Imaging in Mice Samantha S Eckley,1 Jason S Villano,1 Nora S Kuo,1 and Kwoon Y Wong2,* Studies of visual responses in isoflurane-anesthetized mice often use the sedative chlorprothixene to decrease the amount of isoflurane used because excessive isoflurane could adversely affect light-evoked responses. However, data are not available to justify the use of this nonpharmaceutical-grade chemical. The current study tested whether pharmaceutical-grade sedatives would be appropriate alternatives for imaging pupillary light reflexes. Male 15-wk-old mice were injected intraperitoneally with 1 mg/kg chlorprothixene, 5 mg/kg acepromazine, 10 mg/kg chlorpromazine, or saline. After anesthetic induction, anes- thesia maintenance used 0.5% and 1% isoflurane for sedative- and saline-injected mice, respectively. A photostimulus (16.0 log photons cm−2 s−1; 470 nm) was presented to the right eye for 20 min, during which the left eye was imaged for consensual pupillary constriction and involuntary pupil drift. Time to immobilization, loss of righting reflex, physiologic parameters, gain of righting reflex, and degree of recovery were assessed also. The sedative groups were statistically indistinguishable for all measures. By contrast, pupillary drift occurred far more often in saline-treated mice than in the sedative groups. Fur- thermore, saline-treated mice took longer to reach maximal pupil constriction than all sedative groups and had lower heart rates compared with chlorpromazine- and chlorprothixene-sedated mice. -
