Atropine drops are one of the most effective approaches towards inhibiting progression children myopia. However, mechanism atropine action on myopia remains a mystery. This article reviews more than 50- year history attempts to reveal secret and outlines possible locations for its receptors. MEDLINE database have been used as source scientific literature using English language keywords. A total...

atropine in cholera and he recommended its routine use from the earliest stages of the disease. In the acute condition we have to consider three classes of patients (1) those who improve without the use of atropine, (2) those who show improvement from the administration of atropine, (3) those who get worse in spite of atropine. Hence the point is to select the cases that would be benefited by a...

Background: Previous studies reported that neonatal and maternal complications as well as duration of labor could be diminished through labor management. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effect of intramuscular (IM) administration of atropine and hyoscine combination on labor progress and maternal and neonatal outcomes in primigravid women admitted to Taleghani Hospital of Arak, Iran. Metho...

This paper summarizes the findings from two recent studies involving the physiological effects of atropine (0 to 4 mg, im) on soldiers performing physical exercise in hot-dry environments. Study I determined the threshold of physiological effects and the gradation of these effects with increasing dosage of atropine. Study II examined the effects of exercise-heat acclimation on the reduced physi...

The importance of vagal efferent signaling for the insulinotropic and glucagonostatic effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) was investigated in a randomized single-blinded study. Healthy male participants (n = 10) received atropine to block vagal cholinergic transmission or saline infusions on separate occasions. At t = 15 min, plasma glucose was clamped at 6 mmol/l. GLP-1 was infused at a...
