Regarding the calcium content in the blood of glaucomatous patients

Abstract

The work of Chiari and Januschке establishes the inhibitory effect of calcium salts on transudation and exudation. These researchers proved by their experiments that the extremely severe oedema of the connective membrane of the rabbit's eye caused by mustard oil or Auburn quickly disappears if the animal is injected subcutaneously or intravenously with a few cubes of calcium salt solution. Similarly, in dogs poisoned with sodium iodide or thiosinamine, the onset of profuse pleural exudate, pulmonary edema and hydropericardium can be prevented by application of calcium salts. This is also confirmed by other authors (Leo, Levy, Heubner, Rona, etc.).
