On the evening of the 24th, her friend...

An efficient protocol for in vitro shoot multiplication of Randia dumetorum (Emetic nut) has been developed. The seeds of R. dumetorum were germinated in vitro in MS medium in 5 weeks. Subsequent propagation using shoot tip as an explant was carried out in MS medium along with different concentrations and combinations of BAP (0.5-2.0) and NAA (0.0-2.0). Maximum shoot multiplication was obtained...

more rapid and striking result in any disease. Up to the first week of August I have treated twelve cases with tartar emetic, in nine of which the diagnosis was confirmed by finding the parasite in spleen punctures, and of these, with the exception of one who came in the very last stage, all have either recovered or are recovering. The method of treatment is the following:? A one percent, solut...

The duration of the antiemetic effect of granisetron was examined in a pilot study of patients (n = 26) undergoing a standard emetogenic stimulus in the form of total body irradiation fractionated over 3-4 days, in a randomized comparison with twice-daily ondansetron. A single intravenous dose of granisetron at the onset of therapy was effective over the entire follow-up period in 50% (6/12) of...

Several Bacillus cereus strains possess the genetic fittings to produce two different types of toxins, the heat-stable cereulide or different heat-labile proteins with enterotoxigenic potential. Unlike the diarrheal toxins, cereulide is (pre-)formed in food and can cause foodborne intoxications shortly after ingestion of contaminated food. Based on the widely self-limiting character of cereulid...

noted the following conditions in the patient. Both pupils dilated ; tlie patient half drowsy ; the pulse almost imperceptible at the wrist. He ordered an emetic dose of sulphate of zinc and also stimulants. An Assistant-Surgeon afterwards visited the woman and approved of the treatment. Towards evening slie complained of a severe burning pain at the stomach, and died in the course of the night...

The anti-emetic properties of metoclopramide were investigated by means of a doubleblind trial in normal labour in 584 women. The drug was also compared with an established anti-emetic drug, perphenazine. All patients were given pethidine as an analgesic. The incidence of vomiting after metoclopramide 10 mg or perphenazine 5 mg was significantly less than after normal saline. The incidences aft...

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains a significant problem in modern anesthetic practice, with an incidence in high-risk groups of up to 80%. In addition to being unpleasant and distressing for the patient, PONV has the potential to adversely affect patient and surgical outcomes. Advances in PONV prophylaxis over recent years include using non-pharmacological means to reduce baselin...

In man, non emetic doses of apomorphine elicit a series of behavioural, neurological and psychological changes which are difficult to ascribe to the stimulation of postsynaptic dopamine receptors. Since similar effects are elicited by neuroleptic drugs, the functional changes induced by apomorphine in man might be interpreted as being the result of a decreased dopaminergic activity. The sedatio...
