Síndrome de “Floppy Iris" y Tamsulosina. Un llamado de atención (IFIS Síndrome).

El uso de alfabloqueantes para el tratamiento de la hiperplasia prostática benigna, es hoy válido y de muy buenos resultados. Pero, si bien la TAMSULOSINA tiene una vida media de 48 a 72 hs su ingesta debe ser siempre interrogada en los pacientes que van a ser operados de cataratas a fin de tomar los recaudos necesarios. Hay autores que prefieren suspender la medicación alfabloqueante al menos 2 a 3 semanas antes, utilizando un régimen de dilatación máxima para aumentar el diámetro quirúrgico de la pupila. La Miosis intraoperatoria que se produce en el IFIS, aumenta el número de complicaciones intraoperatorias.

Conidial germination of Botryosphaeria dothidea Mough.: Fr (Ces. & De Not.) and histological alterations on stems of pitahaya (Hylocereus undatus H.) (Haworth) Britton & Rose

Conidial germination of Botryosphaeria dothidea (anamorph: Fusicoccum) in sterile distilled water and 1% sterile dextrose solution was evaluated at 4, 6, 12, 24 and 36 h after incubation. Also, it was described the anatomical changes on pitahaya stems induced by this fungus, collected in the field and artificially inoculated in the laboratory. Conidial germination was less than 30% in water and it was improved when 1% dextrose was added to the water. In 1% dextrose solution the germination was 90% after 4h of incubation and 100% at 6 h. Pathogen germ tubes had entered through wounds and sometimes through stomata and hyphae colonized intra and intercellularly in the parenchyma-chlorenchyma tissues. On naturally and artificially diseased stems the main alterations were: destruction of cuticle, hyperplasia of epidermal and collenchymatous hypodermal cells and conform the advance of the pathogen a layer of lignified periderm was formed surrounding the damaged tissues; however, it couldn't stop the advance of the pathogen and the cells that surrounded the lesion suffered necrosis.
