Solar retinopathy is a well-described clinical entity, thought to be the result of a photochemical injury to the retina.... It is reported most often following a solar eclipse, thus accounting for its sporadic occurrence. Less common cases have occurred following direct sun gazing. Cases in which direct solar observation has been implicated in retinal damage include : military personnel assigned to survey the sky; religious or ritualistic ceremonies; hallucinogenic drug use... ;mental illness; and matters of secondary gain.... Within several hours of solar exposure, patients may note a central scotoma in one or both eyes, though the dominant eye is often more severely affected. Visual acuity can be normal to significantly reduced... 3, record 1, English, - solar%20retinopathy

Growth promotants include all agents used to increase the rate of body weight gain. Used principally in food animals but also in horses with a view to increasing muscle mass and physical performance, and in any species to hasten recuperation in animals debilitated by illness. Pharmaceutical preparations are principally anabolic steroids. Husbandry procedures include oestrogen and zearalenone implants and dietary supplementation with antibiotics, monesin and, in the case of pigs, copper. 4, record 3, English, - growth%20promotant
