Hypnotic Therapeutics in India
نویسنده
چکیده
Hypnotism as a therapeutic agent is not so widely used as it might be in India, and though its use in England is spreading, it does not seem to spread in a corresponding degree in India. My experiences with hypnotism in India are more limited than they were in England and Ireland; still I notice some difference in the behaviour of the native of India compared to the European as regards hypnotism. I hypnotise a patient as follows: Placing some small bright object in his hand, and seating him with his back to the light in an armchair, I direct him to hold the object at a convenient

Nifedipine, an L-type calcium channel blocker, restores the hypnotic response in rats made tolerant to the alpha-2 adrenergic agonist dexmedetomidine.
Rats were made tolerant to the hypnotic effects of the alpha-2 adrenergic agonist dexmedetomidine by a 7- or 14-day continuous systemic administration of the same, and the ability of nifedipine to reverse dexmedetomidine tolerance was assessed. Acute administration of nifedipine (10 mg/kg i.p.) restored the hypnotic response to dexmedetomidine in the alpha-2 tolerant rats. Concurrent administra...
متن کاملNeurotensin levels in specific brain regions and hypnotic sensitivity to ethanol and pentobarbital as a function of time after haloperidol administration in selectively bred rat lines.
Evidence indicates that sensitivity to ethanol is a good predictor of the development of alcoholism. Thus, identification of neuronal processes that regulate ethanol sensitivity has been the subject of much recent research. The present studies were designed to further test the hypothesis that neurotensinergic processes mediate, in part, hypnotic sensitivity to ethanol. Single doses of haloperid...
متن کاملCommon quantitative trait loci for alcohol-related behaviors and central nervous system neurotensin measures: hypnotic and hypothermic effects.
Genetic correlations were found between high-affinity neurotensin receptor (NTR(H)) densities and NT-immunoreactivity (NT-ir) levels in specific brain regions and sensitivity to hypnotic and hypothermic effects of ethanol in LSXSS recombinant inbred strains of mice. Simple sequence length polymorphisms were used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) influencing hypnotic and hypothermic sens...
متن کاملDeletion of GABAA receptor alpha 1 subunit-containing receptors alters responses to ethanol and other anesthetics.
GABA(A) receptors have been implicated in mediating several acute effects of ethanol including anxiolysis, ataxia, sedation/hypnosis, and anticonvulsant activity. Ethanol sensitivity of neurons has been associated with expression of alpha1 subunit-containing receptors. The objective of this study was to determine the contribution of alpha1 subunit containing receptors to ethanol responses in co...
متن کاملCharacterization of the interaction of indiplon, a novel pyrazolopyrimidine sedative-hypnotic, with the GABAA receptor.
Clinically used benzodiazepine and nonbenzodiazepine sedative-hypnotic agents for the treatment of insomnia produce their therapeutic effects through allosteric enhancement of the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA at the GABA(A) receptor. Indiplon is a novel pyrazolopyrimidine sedative-hypnotic agent, currently in development for insomnia. Using radioligand binding studies, indipl...
