A peak maternal blood level of 12.5 mug/ml was recorded 45 minutes after injection, and detectable levels were still present up to 42 hours after a single injection. A peak cord blood level of 2.7 mug/ml was recorded 55 minutes after injection; cord blood levels were about a quarter of the maternal blood leve...
متن کاملDepression of transmitter release and postjunctional sensitivity during neuromuscular block produced by antibiotics.
In an attempt to elucidate the mechanisms by which antibiotics induce muscle paralysis, the effects of streptomycin, lincomycin, polymyxin B and clindamycin were investigated in the mouse phrenic nerve-hemidiaphragm preparation. Streptomycin resembled magnesium in reducing miniature endplate potential (m.e.p.p.) amplitude and frequency, whereas lincomycin, clindamycin and polymyxin B resembled ...

About 4-5 days after tick attachment paralysis occurs. The cause of the paralysis is blockage of transmission at the neuromuscular junction, due to the reduction of release of acetylcholine, and / or int...
