We used a sequential approach to evaluate the relative and combined effects of different types of behavioral treatments, as well as dosage of methylphenidate (MPH), on the disruptive behavior of 3 students who had been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Results showed that individualized behavioral treatments produced decreases in disruptive behavior equivalent to MPH for ...

A double-blind randomised controlled trial was conducted to study the effects of oral theophylline alone compared with oral theophylline and salbutamol in a sample of asthmatic children. Each treatment was administered at maximum recommended dosage. Children treated with the theophylline and salbutamol combination had higher pulse rates, lower peak flow measurements, and depressed blood theophy...

Primary persistent insomnia (PPI) occurs independently of any known physical or mental condition and is among the most difficult problems in sleep disorders. For the treatment of PPI, comedication of clorazepate (Tranxene) in dosage 1 capsule of 10 mg and carbamazepine (Tegretol) in dosage 1 tablet of 200 mg in 32 out-patients for 30 days was applied. Normalization of sleep was achieved in 29 p...

In order to optimize the process parameters of Cd removal in ZnSO4 production and study mechanism reaction, response surface methodology was used arrange experiments analyze optimal conditions, studied using kinetics. The results show that conditions for are as follows: reaction temperature 55 °C, time 13.43 min, zinc powder dosage should be 2.14 times Cd; main effects three variables from larg...

Recent evidence suggests that higher-than-usual antihypertensive dosages of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers may provide additional protection from progression of chronic renal disease; however, there have been few long-term studies, and the underlying mechanisms remain uncertain. This study examined the effects of long-term (14 mo) administration of ultrahigh dosages of the angiot...

Synthomycetine, a new Synthetic brand of Chloramphenicol was tried in two cases of typhoid fever culturally positive. The dosage schedule was moderate and no initial loading dosage was used. The effects on the temperature chart was shown below were not dramatic and, in fact, in the second case it took seven days for the temperature to touch normal (probably due to urinary complications). But ge...
