BROMIDE OF CAMPHOR

Rocuronium Bromide Versus Vecuronium Bromide

BACKGROUND: Rocuronium Bromide is a newer, low potency nondepolarising neuromuscular blocking agent. It is proven to be five to seven times less potent than vecuronium.The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 2ED95 (2 times effective dose 95) dose (0.6mg/kg) of rocuronium with regard to onset time, the intubating conditions and the duration of action and to compare it w...

Spontaneous motion of an elliptic camphor particle.

The coupling between deformation and motion in a self-propelled system has attracted broader interest. In the present study, we consider an elliptic camphor particle for investigating the effect of particle shape on spontaneous motion. It is concluded that the symmetric spatial distribution of camphor molecules at the water surface becomes unstable first in the direction of a short axis, which ...

Camphor is a pleasant smelling cyclic ketone with propensity of causing neurologic side-effects especially seizures. We report two patients who after inadvertent consumption of camphor experienced an episode of generalized tonic clonic seizure. These cases highlight the importance of enquiring any intake of material (medicinal or otherwise) in every patient presenting with seizure.
