Just-released results of a study conducted for the National Eye Institute at 15 medical centers throughout the United States indicate that many patients with diabetic retinopathy can be saved from blindness by argon laser or xenon arc treatments. In the study.

1,700 patients this condition had one eye treated with the concentrated light beam and one eye left untreated. The condition of the treated eye generally was much better after therapy. The treatment, therefore, is considered better than no treatment; however, hot all patients showed benefits. Specialists at the university medical center will be able to evaluate whether your grandfather is likely to benefit from the treatment, which can be done on an outpatient basis and is said to cause little or no discomfort. Good luck.

Dear Dr. Solomon: M.v nine-year-old grandson has bald spots tm his head. The school nurse said maybe he putts his hair out because he's nervous. He doesn't so nervous to me. What could be the J.O.

Dear Mrs. 0.: The most likely cause of patchy baldness in children is a ringworm infection. This is a fungus infection and can be cleared up by careful attention to following the recommended treatment, which generally requires daily medication over a six- week period. Other kinds ol infections, including lice, drugs, poisons, and nutritional disorders, are among possible causes of baldness in children. Thai emotional factors can also play a role was stressed in a recent report in the Journal of the American Medical Association that noted that emotionally deprived children sometimes turn to hair-pulling.

I suggest you have your grandson treated by a skin specialist. (If you have a medical problem; see your doctor. If you have a medical question, write to Neil Solomon, M.D. in care of the Dr. Solomon cannot give personal replies but will answer as much mail as possible in the column.)
