13. Topical steroid, cyclosporin A, and the outcome of rat corneal allografts.
The effects of a combination of topical corticosteroid and cyclosporin A on corneal graft survival were tested in a model of penetrating keratoplasty in the inbred rat. Topical medications were applied four times daily to the graft for 28 days postgraft. Neither topical steroid (1% prednisolone acetate) nor topical cyclosporin (1% in chremophor EL/ethanol) w

14. A comparison of topical acyclovir with steroids in the treatment of herpes zoster keratouveitis.
Topical acyclovir has been compared with topical steroids in a coded controlled trial of the treatment of keratouveitis caused by herpes zoster in 40 patients. Topical acyclovir was significantly superior to topical steroids in terms of treatment duration (75 days to 280 days), with no recurrences after the patients were weaned off treatment; there was a 63%

15. Comparison of Two Therapeutic Regimens Using the Same Topical Corticoid for Stable Psoriasis
In a masked, randomized, concurrently controlled clinical trial we compared the therapeutic response of two regimens in which the same topical corticoid was used to treat 52 men who had stable psoriasis. One regimen, called reduced dose, consisted of once-a-day application of a representative potent fluorinated topical steroid ointment, fluocinonide (Lidex),

16. Comparative study of the intraocular pressure effects of fluorometholone 0.1% versus dexamethasone 0.1%.
The intraocular pressure effect of fluorometholone 0.1% was compared with that of dexamethasone 0.1% by performing corticosteroid provocative tests on 24 matched pairs of eyes. Fifteen of the 24 dexamethasone treated eyes, 62.5%, showed a change in intraocular pressure greater than 5 mmHg, with mean delta P = 8.58 mmHg and range 0 to +20 mmHg. Only 2 of the

17. Topical steroids in the treatment of central and paracentral corneal ulcers.
During an 18-month period a prospective randomised trial was conducted on 40 selected patients with bacterial corneal ulcers. Two groups were compared: one was treated with antibiotic only and the other with antibiotic plus steroid. Complications were similar in the two groups. No delay in healing rate of the ulcers was seen with the use of topical steroid.

18. Adverse effects of topical corticosteroid use.
Topical corticosteroid use, a common and often efficacious therapy for a wide variety of cutaneous conditions, may have substantial adverse effects. These range from the notable nondermatologic side effects of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression, Cushing's disease, femoral head osteonecrosis, and cataracts to a variety of less serious skin effect

19. Corneal ulcer due to Achromobacter xylosoxidans.
We report a case of corneal ulcer caused by the opportunistic organism Achromobacter xylosoxidans which developed during chronic topical steroid treatment of an eye with neovascular glaucoma. A. xylosoxidans has probably been underreported as a cause of ocular infection because of confusion between this organism and other Gram-negative organisms, particularl

20. Lichen sclerosus and acute urinary obstruction.
A case of acute urinary obstruction due to early lichen sclerosus disease is described. In this case both histological corroboration and efficacy of potent topical steroid have been beneficial.

21. Double-blind clinical trial of topical steroids in anterior uveitis.
We present the results of a double-blind trial comparing the efficacy of betamethasone phosphate 0.1%, clobetasone butyrate 0.1%, and placebo in the treatment of acute unilateral nongranulomatous uveitis. The 2 steroids were equally comparable in improvement of the patients' symptoms, though betamethasone phosphate was significantly more effective than clobe

22. Acyclovir ointment plus topical betamethasone or placebo in first episode disciform keratitis.
Thirty patients with first episode disciform keratitis and with no previous steroid exposure were randomly assigned to double blind treatment with 3% acyclovir ointment and 0.1% betamethasone (Betnesol) drops or acyclovir ointment and matching placebo. In the steroid group 14 of the 15 patients healed in a mean time of 21.8 days. In the placebo group eight o

23. Early treatment of juvenile xanthogranuloma of the iris with subconjunctival steroids.
Five infants with biopsy proved juvenile xanthogranuloma of the iris were reviewed. Early treatment with subconjunctival injection of steroids and topical steroid drops resulted in regression of the lesion in four patients. One patient, reviewed at the age of 8 months after glaucoma which had developed secondary to the iris xanthogranuloma, had been treated

24. Type 1 procollagen as a marker of severity of scarring after sternotomy: effects of topical corticosteroids.
AIMS--To determine whether the abundance of newly formed collagen in healing surgical wounds correlated with scar severity, and whether topical application of steroid cream reduced new collagen formation in patients who have undergone median sternotomy. METHODS--Thirty three patients six weeks after sternotomy, and 12 controls were studied. Scars were photog
