Abstract
Nasobemia (Ns) and spinelessβaristapedia (ss^a40a^) are dominant and recessive homeotic mutants of Drosophila which convert parts of the antenna to leg structures. Exposure of Ns and ss^a40a^ larvae to halfβlethal concentrations of 5βbromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) and flourouracil (FU) together or separately during the presumptive time of gene action suppresses the expressivity and penetrance of the mutants.

Background. This clinical trial was developed to determine whether ocular ice pack therapy would decrease 5-fluorouracil(5-FU)-induced ocular toxicity. Methods. Sixty-two patients who suffered from 5-FU-induced ocular toxicity, and were scheduled to receive another cycle of the chemotherapy that ca
