Two patients are reported in whom there was an association between the occurrence of optic neuritis with atrophy and the administration of isoniazid for the treatment of tuberculosis. Although a cause and effect relationship was not established, discontinuation of isoniazid therapy in one patient was followed by gradual improvement of the eye lesions. The authors assume that the optic lesions were neurotoxic effects of isoniazid and recommend that pyridoxine be given daily for prophylaxis.

The article attempts to systematize the scales, tests and questionnaires that are used in the practice of an osteopathic physician from the standpoint of the «patient′s model». The purpose of the scales using in the practice of an osteopathic physician is to objectify the patient′s diagnosis, assess the dynamics of her/his condition, the therapy results, the ability to demonstrate the treatment results to the patient and the professional community, and maintain continuity in the treatment process. The scales allow an osteopath to assess not only the dynamics of somatic dysfunctions (SD) during the treatment, but also to shift from a qualitative to a quantitative assessment of the patient′s clinical condition. In this case, it becomes possible to draw parallels, to determine the cause-and effect relationship between SD and the patient′s clinical condition.
