Generalized Argyrosis with Lens Involvement*

Ocular Argyrosis in a Silver Craftsman

“…In both iatrogenic and occupational argyrosis, the conjunctive and the cornea are the ocular tissues most frequently affected (as reported here), whereas the eyelids 13,14) , the crystalline lens 15,16) and the lachrymal sac 5,17) are rarely involved. Conjunctival Ag deposits are mainly formed in the inferior fornix and lachrymal caruncle 11,14) .…”

The Cognistat (neurobehavioural cognitive status exam): Administering the full test in stroke patients for optimal results

“…Inspection of the correlation matrix showed that many pairwise intercorrelations among the subscales were greater than 0.3 (Tabachnick & Fidell, ). Bartlett's test of sphericity (Bartlett, ), relating to interdependence among items, reached significance (χ 2 = 231.3, P < 0.001) and the Kaiser‐Meyer‐Olkin sampling statistic of 0.78 was sufficient (Kaiser, ). No restrictions were set limiting the factor structure in the PCA; thus scale items were free to load on any number of factors.…”

Clinical and Forensic Aspects of the Different Subtypes of Argyria

“…Patients with OA have reported visual symptoms, most commonly nyctalopia [ 54 ], and presented with concomitant comorbidities, such as glaucoma [ 151 , 163 ], cataract [ 114 , 149 , 218 , 262 ], diabetic retinopathy [ 111 ], as well as posterior eye segment changes somewhat coherent with the functional complaints [ 157 , 158 ], but without direct link to the silver deposition itself [ 156 , 162 , 263 ]. This inconsistency, alongside several OA patients lacking any visual complaints, has contributed to some consensus regarding the seemingly innocuous silver deposition in the eye, though this claim still needs a more robust foundation [ 21 , 113 , 261 , 263 , 264 ].…”
