Extractions: Aphorism of Moynihan 1. This clinical syndrome, encompassing pneumococcal pneumonia, endocarditis, and meningitis, was first described by Osler in 1881 but was named after a physician-scientist who studied the pneumococcus at Johns Hopkins in the 1950s. 2. Tonic pupil syndrome, associated with diminished or absent tendon jerks, often seen in young women. 3. An obliterative disease, seen in young male smokers, characterized by inflammatory changes in small and medium-sized arteries and veins. 4. Individuals with this syndrome have hypermobile joints, lax skin, and a propensity to bruise and bleed. 5. Patients with this lower plexus injury present with paralysis of the hand and wrist, often with an ipsilateral Horners syndrome. 6. Women with this type of perihepatitis often have gram-negative diplococci in their cervical secretions. 7. If you give too much bedtime insulin, patients with this phenomenon may have early morning hyperglycemia and ketonemia due to nocturnal hypoglycemia. 8. Severe ear pain, hearing loss, vertigo, and facial nerve paralysis due to viral invasion of the 8th nerve ganglion are associated with this syndrome. On physical exam, you may be impressed by vesicles in the canal along with regional adenopathy and anesthesia over the anterior 2/3 of the corresponding hemitongue!

When a careful history was taken, two thirds of the patients had ciliary muscle-related symptoms. Most of the patients with Adie's syndrome had a moderate accomodative paresis, but there was a strong tendency for the ciliary muscle to recover with time. Many patients showed a tonicity of accommodation, especially those who had had the condition for several

Specifically, publication of an iris study on site, attendance of Advanced Irismeister Degree Program Seminars, a high median score of the Multiple Choice Question Same Day Certification Exam, publication of iris studies volumes, and other detailed and objective criteria offer everyone (the irismeister candidates) the coveted five stars. Honorary irismeisters are distinguished achievers of all times , to whom we pay due credit, y compris for criticizing our own brand new flavors of iris studies with serious data and flawless conjectures. Honorary irismeisters may also be active right now. O ne to F ive stars are only offered to irismeisters who devote more than 50% of their work and time to the iris cause.

Extractions: The iris shows denervation hypersensitivity. A low concentration of pilocarpine for example 0.1% can cause pupil constriction in Adie's pupil but not in the normal. However, this test may not be confirmatory in acute cases. 2. How can you differentiate a dilated pupil from third nerve palsy from that caused by Adie's pupil or drug-induced?

Extractions: William John Adie British physician and neurologist, born 31st October, 1886, Geelong, Victoria, Australia; died 17th March, 1935. Adie's syndrome = A condition in which one or both pupils is dilated and responds slowly or not at all to light and a near stimulus, accompanied by slow constriction and relaxation in the change from near to distant vision, and impaired accommodation. William John Adie was born in the harbour city of Geelong, west of Melbourne on the southern coast of Australia. He received his first education at Flinders School, but at the age of 13 he had to leave school in order to support the family, as his father had died in 1899. He worked as an errand runner in an office. One of his employers recognised his capacity for learning and paid evening courses for him. Thus he was able to pass the examination necessary for university entry. One of his topics was German, which had had learned mostly from visiting sailors. It was a practician in his native city, Dr. Arthur South, who inspired Adie to embark on a medical career. He soon ended up in Edinburgh, where he, aided by his uncle and a scholarship, graduated in medicine in 1911. His uncle tried to entice him to come back to Australia, but Adie liked life in Great Britain and was to spend the rest of his life there.
Extractions: In order to examine the clinical usefulness of methacholine in assessing the site of ocular parasympathetic lesions, pupillary responses in man were measured in postganglionic (Adie's syndrome) and preganglionic third nerve lesions involving the pupil and in controls. From previous work with methacholine it might have been expected that greater constriction would occur in the postganglionic lesions but similar responses were found in both. Corneal hypoxia due to ptosis appeared unlikely to affect corneal
