Methods: Schirmer 1 test without anaesthesia was performed on 140 patients (65 males and 75 females) over 40 years of age from rural background after obtaining informed consent and after applying some exclusion criteria. The test was aborted as soon wetting of 10 mm of Schirmer test strip occurred and time noted. The patients who did not achieve 10 mm of wetting on Schirmer test over 5 minute’s time were labelled Schirmer test positive. Results: The incidence of positive Schirmer1 test (without anaesthesia) was 16.4% in the studied group of 140 patients with a higher incidence in females over 50 years of age. Out of 140 patients screened, 63% patients achieved a wetting of 10 mm of Schirmer test strip in 2 or less than 2 minutes. Conclusion: Modified Schirmer 1 test (without anaesthesia) wit...

An early diagnosis of the atherosclerotic condition is very important as many serious consequences may be prevented. Individuals may be attributable to high risk due to their genetic predisposition; hypertension; diabetes etc. Serum Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) and development of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) has been investigated for long. Method: The study is aimed to find out the significance of raised serum GGT in patients with CAD. In this study, we included 40 CAD patients as a test group and an equal number of controls based on exclusion and inclusion criteria. All individual subjects were assessed for biochemical and anthropometric parameters. All tests were performed using IFCC approved methods. Results: The present study showed a significant increase in levels of serum GGT in the test group (146.35±84.59...
