The Treatment of Tobacco Amblyopia by Acetyl-Choline

suffering from tobacco amblyopia have been treated at the Bristol Eye Hospital by the intramuscular ejection of " pragmoline," acetyl-choline bromide. This drug is available in two doses, dose A being 0'03 grammes, and dose B 0-125 grammes. Each patient first received two injections of dose A ^vith one clear day's interval between, and then a daily injection of dose B until no further treatment...

Acetyl choline as a therapeutic agent in mild psychiatric disorders.

IN 1950 LÃ3pez-Ibor adapted Fiamberti's use of acetyl choline in schizophrenia for the treatment of psychoneurotic disorders (Fiamberti, 1940, 1950a, b ; Lopez Ibor, 1950, 1952). Very few reports of the efficacy of this treatment have been published and they vary from the enthusiastic (Sargant, 1952; Phillips and Hutchinson, 1954) and the doubtful (Maclay, 1953), to the unequivocally rejecting ...

Cytomatrix in chromatophores

Although intracellular transport is a fascinating and vital function shared by diverse cell systems, our understanding of the processes involved remains incomplete, despite the enormous amount of attention it has received over the past 40 years (46). Recent work on pigment granule transport in chromatophores (e .g ., erythrophores, melanophores, and xanthophores), however, has begun to yield ne...
