Different Amounts of Transformed Atoxyl Produced by Incubating One per Cent. and Ten per Cent. Atoxyl in Blood

1. 10 per cent. atoxyl in blood incubated at 37 degrees C. for 1 hour gives rise to a solution that is much more than ten times as toxic as a 1 per cent. solution of atoxyl similarly incubated. 2. When the comparison is made after incubation for 3 hours instead of for 1 hour, the toxicity of the 10 per cent. solution is but slightly greater than ten times that of the 1 per cent., provided the r...

Endectocide activity of a pour-on formulation containing 1.5 per cent ivermectin +0.5 per cent abamectin in cattle

The present work aimed to evaluate, through ten different studies, the therapeutic efficacy of a new pour-on formulation, containing 1.5 per cent ivermectin +0.5 per cent abamectin, against parasites of cattle. Results obtained on trials against Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus showed that the pour-on combination of 1.5 per cent ivermectin +0.5 per cent abamectin obtained superior efficacy i...

Anaesthesia for Caesarean section. Analysis of blood concentrations of methoxyflurane using 0.1 per cent methoxyflurane and 40 per cent oxygen.

In fifteen mothers undergoing elective Caesarean section methoxyflurane 0.1 per cent vapour was added before the birth of the infant to a mixture of 40 per cent oxygen and 60 per cent nitrous oxide. Analysis of uptake and excretion of methoxyflurane was performed. Prompt recovery of consciousness occurred at the end of the procedure. In none of the mothers was there evidence of awareness during...
