Labetalol, an antihypertensive agent that blocks both beta- and alpha-adrenergic receptors, was administered intravenously to 19 patients with accelerated hypertension who required rapid lowering of blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure was lowered from 209 +/- 4 to 143 +/- 2 mm Hg; diastolic blood pressure was reduced from 140 +/- 2 to 93 +/- 2 mm Hg. Side-effects were minimal and included n...

The hippocampus is thought to be involved in episodic memory formation by reactivating traces of waking experience during sleep. Indeed, the joint firing of spatially tuned pyramidal cells encoding nearby places recur during sleep. We found that the sleep cofiring of rat CA1 pyramidal cells encoding similar places increased relative to the sleep session before exploration. This cofiring increas...

Combined QM/MM calculations of an activesite of Cytochrome P450cam have been performed, before and after a binding process of Cytochrome P450cam to Putidaredoxin. The calculations have been carried out for two coordination spheres of the heme active-site of Cytochrome P450cam, namely a 5-coordinated, and a 6coordinated system of this protein having a water molecule as a 6th ligand. An experimen...

Transmural potential difference (PD) was measured in vivo under continuous perfusion of the rat stomach. Lumina! NaF (5 mM) perfusion elicited a net temporal decrease of PD, whereas lower NaF concentrations (1 and 2 mM) had no effect. The fall of PD induced by 5 mM NaF was abolished at pH 8.4 and was enhanced (161%) at pH 3.2. Compared to NaF alone, the decrease of PD induced by the simultaneou...

Dynamic Efficiency and Pareto Optimality in a Stochastic OLG Model with Production and Social Security We analyze the interaction between risk sharing and capital accumulation in a stochastic OLG model with production. We give a complete characterization of interim Pareto optimality. Our characterization also subsumes equilibria with a PAYG social security system. In a competitive equilibrium i...
