“…The association of HIV vasculopathy and subsequent retinitis has been reported. 37 In our series, a high prevalence of vascular involvement among patients without HIV infection who had CMV infection was noted, and 2 patients without necrotic retinal changes manifested severe vasculitis only. Involvement of retinal vessels is common in CMV retinitis and can affect arteries and veins.…”

Little attention has been paid to clinical features of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in individuals without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Objective: To describe the clinical manifestations and comorbidities of patients without HIV infection who have CMV-associated posterior uveitis or panuveitis. Design and Setting: Retrospective observational case series in an academic research setting. Participants: The medical records were reviewed of 18 patients (22 affected eyes) diagnosed as having posterior uveitis or panuveitis who had aqueous positive for CMV by polymerase chain reaction techniques. Main Outcome Measures: Demographic data, clinical manifestations, and associated systemic diseases were recorded. Results: Ocular features included focal hemorrhagic retinitis (n=13) and peripheral retinal necrosis (n =7). Two eyes had no focal retinal lesions but manifested vasculitis and vitritis. All patients exhibited vitreous inflammation. Inflammatory reactions in anterior segments developed in 14 of 22 eyes (64%). Retinal vasculitis was observed in 16 of 22 eyes (73%) and included mostly ar

Background: We report on a patient with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection who exhibited extremely active PDR followed by a rapid onset of blindness in the right eye. The progression of visual disturbance in the patient’s left eye was slowed after starting highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART), and vision in that eye was rescued after vitrectomy. Case Report: A 72-year-old male developed pneumocystis carinii pneumonia stemming from an HIV infection and began HAART at the Department of Hematology, Osaka Medical College, Takatsuki City, Japan. Prior to HAART, the patient had shown rapidly progressing retinopathy in the right eye accompanied by vitreous hemorrhage, tractional retinal detachment, and neovascular glaucoma, ultimately leading to early-onset blindness. After starting HAART, the progression of the retinopathy in the left eye became slower compared to the right eye, with corrected visual acuity improving to 0.6 after vitrectomy, despite being accompanied by vitreous hemorrhage. The patient’s overall condition has remained stable following the operation, and the condition of the ocular fundus in the left eye has also settled. Conclusion: Significant differences were found in the progression rate of PDR with HIV infection between before and after starting HAART. Our findings suggest that early administration of HAART to HIV patients with diabetic retinopathy is crucial for maintaining visual function.

“…Donnell presented weekly Liverpool quotations for middling Uplands, middling Orleans, and Dhollerah (an Indian cotton of somewhat shorter staple than American). 48 Donnell's New York quotations prior to the 1842/43 season were not specific with respect to grade, though New Orleans and Uplands were quoted separately. The twice-weekly price quotations consisted of a range of prices, initially two or three cents in the 1820s, increasing to as much as five or six cents in individual quotations by the early 1840s.…”

International Competitiveness of the Antebellum American Cotton Textile Industry

Although the American cotton textile industry was heavily protected, most commentators, following Frank Taussig's lead, have concluded that indigenous technological advance made large branches of the industry internationally competitive by the 1830s. The prices of equivalent fabrics in Britain and America in the late 1840s and 1850s challenge that conclusion. “Domestic” fabrics, in which American mills had supposedly become competitive, cost 20 percent more in America. Critical reexamination of other evidence—cost comparisons from the 1830s and American exports—supports the conclusion that an unprotected American industry could not have competed.
