Alcohol and General Aviation Accidents.

l i t t l e i m p o r t a n c e or attention has been given to the role of alcohol in civil general aviation accidents. Its significance has never been determined. This is evidenced, for ex­ ample, by most recent authoritative accident statistical reports (2, 3 ). In these statistical reviews, covering 929 general aviation fatal accidents which occurred in the years 1960 and 1961, only eight ca...

Interrelation Between Pinacidil and Intracellular ATP Concentrations

The patch-clamp technique was used to study the relation between pinacidil and intracellular ATP concentration ([ATP]i) on the activation of the outward K' current in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Pinacidil shortened the action potential duration, exhibiting stronger effect at 2 mM [ATP]i than at 5 mM [ATP]i. Pinacidil at 5 ,M or higher concentrations activated the time-independent outward c...

Interrelation Between Periodontal Disease and Preterm Birth

Periodontal diseases are chronic infectious diseases that results in the inflammation of the specialized tissues that both surround and support the teeth. It can lead to a progressive loss of connective tissue attachment and alveolar bone. This tissue destruction is characterized by the formation of periodontal pockets that act as reservoirs for bacterial colonization of the dento-gingival envi...

Cannabis, alcohol and fatal road accidents

INTRODUCTION This research aims to estimate the relative risks of responsibility for a fatal accident linked to driving under the influence of cannabis or alcohol, the prevalence of these influences among drivers and the corresponding attributable risk ratios. A secondary goal is to estimate the same items for three other groups of illicit drugs (amphetamines, cocaine and opiates), and to compa...
