Rev Chir Orthop 68:317–325 The leaves have a high reputation as a 'cure-all' in Africa, where they are used in the treatment of a wide range of conditions. They are most commonly taken in decoctions or are mixed with foods[332 ]. The bitter tasting leaves are antitussive, appetizer, blood purifier, diuretic, febrifuge, galactagogue, laxative, pectoral and tonic[332 ]. They are used to treat a wide range of conditions such as: pulmonary and respiratory complaints, including coughs and fevers; digestive tract problems including colic, dysentery and diarrhoea; infectious diseases including syphilis, beriberi and leprosy; and various other conditions such as impotence, rheumatism and oedema[332 ]. The powdered leaves are mixed with food as a general tonic and blood restorative after any exhausting condition, and especially given to women after childbirth to promote the flow of milk[332 ]. The leaves are commonly made into an infusion, combined with those of Combretum micranthum, for treating fever, chest and rheumatic conditions, and as a nasal douche for cold in the head[332'. Combined with tamarind pulp, the leaves are held to be a good laxative and appetizer[332 ]. The plant has a special reputation as a preventive of leprosy and many people drink a cold decoction of the leaves every morning and evening; in particular it is given to the newborn child, and to the child of a leper parent, or when there is the least suspicion of hereditary taint or early symptoms[332 ]. The dried leaves are smoked in a pipe and the smoke is blown through the nose as a remedy for colds[332 ]. They are mixed with tobacco for smoking as a treatment for coughs and respiratory trouble[332 ]. The powdered leaves are added to a snuff taken for headache and sinusitis[332 ]. The leaves are applied externally to bring healing to the body - they are considered antiseptic and vulnerary. They are applied to wounds, sores in the mouth, syphilitic chancres and phagadenic ulcers[332 ]. The leaves are applied to skin infections and in poultices on inflammatory swellings and for guinea-worm; they have been applied to tumours to maturate them and as a treatment for skin-diseases[332 ]. A leaf-decoction is used as a body-wash and for bathing new-born babies[332 ]. The fruit and leaves are common ingredients in more or less ceremonial prescriptions for strengthening and preventing disease in young children[332 ]. The twigs are chewed for symptomatic relief of scorpion stings[332 ]. The powdered and boiled roots are considered a remedy for diarrhoea and dysentery[332 ]. The fruits, baked and reduced to a powder with salt added to mask the bitter taste, are considered a sovereign cure for hiccups[332 ]. Leafy stems have been found to contain traces of alkaloids and tannins[332 ]. Ash of the roots and leaves appear to be particularly rich in magnesium, calcium, strontium, titanium, iron and aluminium[332 ]. Pharmacologically the plant has positive action on coughs, is hypotensive, antidiarrhetic and anti-inflammatory[332 ]. A stye is usually a self-limiting condition with resolution occurring spontaneously within a week. Both internal and external hordeola are treated similarly. To hasten recovery and prevent the spread of infection, warm compresses and erythromycin ophthalmic ointment applied twice a day are usually sufficient treatment. There is little evidence demonstrating a benefit from the use of topical antibiotics but erythromycin ointment use for 7 to 10 days has been recommended. Warm compresses should be applied for 15 minutes at least four times a day. Gentle massage of the nodule has also been suggested to assist in the expression of the obstructed material. Oral antibiotics are rarely indicated unless there are significant surrounding erythema and a concern for periorbital cellulitis. For very large hordeola in which incision and drainage are considered, referral to an ophthalmologist is appropriate. Reevaluation within 2 to 3 days is appropriate to assess response to treatment.

In a matter of hours they realised that they could go much further. Like many of their colleagues, they followed Sputnik‘s every pass and calculated how far away it was from them, using the slight variation in frequency caused by the so-called Doppler effect, the same one that alters the sound of a train whistle as it passes a station. But they didn’t stop at that simple calculation. Guier and Weiffenbach concentrated on analysing the data of the “Doppler shift” at their location, with the ambitious goal of being able to deduce the entire trajectory of its orbit. This would enable them to predict the exact position of the Soviet satellite at any given time. Satellite signal’s reveiver from TRANSIT system, in service until 1996.

Always seek advice from a professional before using a plant medicinally. Guier and Weiffenbach’s method for spying on Soviet satellites was ready in a few weeks, in time to be applied to the last signals transmitted by Sputnik 1 before its batteries ran out after 22 days. The story could have ended there, with that success, but months later, APL’s scientific director, Frank McClure, recruited them for another more crucial task: to solve the reverse problem. On March 17, 1958, McClure called the two researchers into his office for a confidential talk, in which he proposed to use the Doppler effect not to determine the orbit of a satellite from a given location… but to determine an unknown location, where the signal is received from a satellite whose trajectory is known precisely.

Pain is usually associated with eye movements and often precedes loss of vision. Patients often report having had similar events in the same or fellow eye.
