Ergot of Rye and Indian Hemp in Obstinate Cases of Menorrhagia

چکیده
On referring to seventeen obstinate cases of menorrhagia, which. I treated during the last two years with ergot of rye and Indian hemp, I am in a position to corroborate the statement made in your last number by Mr. Bensley, that tincture of the Indian hemp is a very valuable medicine " for the treatment of menorrhagia and uterine haemorrhages generally," the latter of course not depending on any organic lesion of the womb. In all of these seventeen cases I found five to ten 5-minim doses of the tincture cannabis indica, of the Dublin Pharmacopoeia, put a permanent stoppage to the hajmorrliages, though they could not be checked by tincture of the ergot of rye aided with gallic and sulphuric acids, for before the administration of the hemp, all these patients were treated with ergot of rye, &c. I state this fact with a hope to know the opinion of the profession generally as to the beneficial effects of this most important drug in uterine htemorrhages. In one out of these did I notice the peculiar nervine depres-

In the last decades, data on the content of toxic alkaloids in ergot and the relationship of the ergot contamination in rye and the alkaloid content in ergot has been scarce. Therefore, the level of ergot contamination (g/kg rye) and the alkaloid contents (mg/kg ergot) of ergot grown on 7, 21 and 24 artificially infected rye varieties at three German locations in 2002, 2003 and 2004 were determ...
متن کاملAptamer-Based Extraction of Ergot Alkaloids from Ergot Contaminated Rye Feed
Ergot alkaloids are mycotoxins which can be found in food based on cereal-crops, due to a contamination of plants by fungi of the genus Claviceps. The ingestion of ergot contaminated cereal crops can lead to a severe poisoning known as ergotism. For food and feed safety purposes, the extraction of ergot alkaloids from ergot contaminated flour was investigated. For the specific recognition of er...

Lamotrigine is an antiepileptic drug used as a treatment for partial and generalised seizures as well as for bipolar disorder type I. Till date, very few cases of lamotrigine overdose have been reported. The spectra of clinical effects of lamotrigine in acute overdose are not well established. In severe cases of poisoning, serious effects such as coma, respiratory depression, recurrent seizures...
متن کاملApplication of Liquid Chromatography/Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry Technique to Determine Ergot Alkaloids in Grain Products.
A liquid chromatography/ion trap mass spectrometry-based method to determine six ergot alkaloids and their isomers is presented. The samples were cleaned on neutral alumina-based solid-phase extraction cartridges. The following method parameters were obtained (depending on the analyte and spiking level): method recovery from 63.0 to 104.6%, relative standard deviation below 18%, linear range fr...
