Autoimmune thyroid disease and pregnancy.

The cholinergic drug pilocarpine may cause sweating and salivation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, and bronchospasm. Finally, any mydriatic at all used by a casualty officer in an unconscious patient will produce a severe systemic adrenergic reaction-in the neurologist or neurosurgeon who receives the patient. The casualty officer should never forget that the size and reactions of the pupils are important in the management of patients in coma, with head injuries, or with many other neurological diseases.
