Vascular embolic and thrombotic problems postulated to be the cause of inner ear sudden deafness have been reported with decompression sickness also. Decompression sickness has been found to lead to cochlear potential loss in the guinea pig, and these losses are minimized by the prophylactic administration of heparin. Preliminary results ...

Heterologous antisera were raised by inoculation of rabbits with fairly pure suspensions of trophoblast, lymphoid, fetal (excluding placental components), epidermal, decidual, and renal cells from Fischer rats. After absorption of hemagglutinins, these antisera were assayed for abortifacient activity by intramuscular inoculation into time-mated Fischer females. The anti-trophoblast serum aborted all ...

1. The intravenous administration of 5 and 10 mg of diazepam caused anterograde amnesia in 50 and 90% of adults, the peak effect occurring in 2-3 min and action persisting for 20-30 minutes.2. Hyoscine (0.4 and 0.6 mg) caused amnesia in 35 and 50% of patients with peak effect not ...

Potential recordings made simultaneously from opposite ends of the cell indicate that the cytoplasmic compartment of P. caudatum is nearly isopotential. Measured decrements of the spread of steady-state potentials are in essential agreement with calculated decrements for a short cable model of similar dimensions and electrical constants. Action potentials and ...
