Sir,—The work of Professor James and others in South Africa on nitrous oxide at high altitudes is of course well known; any review on awareness would certainly include it.

متن کاملPlasma Cholinesterase Activity in Alzheimer's Disease.
Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) are not allowed to be prescribed in combination, which means that we need to select 1 of 3 ChEIs for use in a patient with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, there is no quantitative analysis on the differences between these agents. In this article, we propose that plasma cholinesterase activity (pChE) could be used as the standard for differentiating between r...

BACKGROUND delirium is a frequent neuropsychiatric syndrome affecting medical and surgical elderly patients. Cholinergic dysfunction has been implicated in delirium pathophysiology and plasmatic acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activities are suppressed in patients with delirium. In this cohort study, we investigated whether these changes emerge during delirium or w...
