Different types of oscillations in the olfactory bulb (OB), including θ (1 to 4 and 5 to 12 Hz), β (13 to 30 Hz), and γ oscillations (31 to 64 and 65 to 90 Hz), are important in olfactory information processing and olfactory-related functions and have been investigated extensively in recent decades. The awake and anesthetized states, 2 different brain conditions, are used widely in electrophysi...

injury. Ordered ten grains of hydrate of chloral every six hours. 21th. ?Slept fairly ; spasms less ; stiffness decrease ! ; bowels open. Continue. 29th.?Decidedly better; patient can open his mouth to some extent; took some solid food to-day ; slept the greater part of the day and night; moved once. Continue. 1st June.?Improving daily; be can open his month widely; bowels free; sleeps well. Co...

OBJECTIVE To compare sedation outcomes for chloral hydrate (CH) and midazolam (MD) as sedative agents for diagnostic procedures in children. METHODS A prospective, randomized, double-blinded study conducted between July 2005 and October 2006, at the Pediatric Day Care Unit (DCU), King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. After meeting the inclusion criteria and getting informed conse...

A study of 887 consecutively born immigrant Greek and 220 Anglo-Saxon Australian infants has shown that serum bilirubin concentrations are influenced by these factors: breast feeding, delivery with forceps, gestation, birthweight, sex of the infant, presence of hypoxia, presence of blood group incompatibility, a positive direct Coombs's test, maternal sepis, and administration to the mother of ...

BACKGROUND We documented previously the entity of trichloroethylene (TCE) hypersensitivity syndrome (THS) in occupational workers. OBJECTIVES To identify the culprit causative compound, determine the type of hypersensitivity of THS, and establish a screening test for subjects at risk of THS. METHODS TCE and its main metabolites chloral hydrate (CH), trichloroethanol (TCOH) and trichloroacet...

We have investigated the role of mu- and kappa-opioid receptors in the central control of preovulatory LH and FSH release in the proestrous rat. Animals were anesthetized with chloral hydrate at 14:00 h on proestrus day. Following femoral artery cannulation, they were mounted in a stereotaxic apparatus. Morphine and U-50488H (benzene-acetamide methane sulphonate) were infused intracerebroventri...

The importance of determining concentrations of drugs in the blood, as well as the numerous modifying factors that play a role in the pharmacologic response to drugs, have been discussed in detail in this journal (1). Several authors have previously compiled data on therapeutic and toxic drug concentrations as aids in the interpretation of analytical results emanating from the laboratories of c...

Voltage noise, generator potentials, and hair movements in the Hermissenda statocyst were analyzed. Motile hairs on the cyst's luminal surface moved as rods through +/- 10 degrees Hz when free and at 7 Hz when loaded with the weight of the statoconia (at 120 degrees C). For hair cells oriented opposite to a centrifugal force vector, rotation caused depolarization and increase of voltage noise v...
