A regime was developed, using mini-osmotic pumps, for the continuous subcutaneous administration of low doses of physostigmine (12.1, 9.7, 4.85 and 2.43 micrograms h-1), in combination with hyoscine (1.94 or 0.39 micrograms h-1), to guinea-pigs for up to 13 days. Physostigmine, in combination with
This study is drawn from a work programme aimed at developing improved medical counter measures for nerve agent poisoning. Guinea-pigs were administered pyridostigmine (5.1 microg/h) or physostigmine (4.7 microg/h) and hyoscine (1.94 microg/h) for 6 days via a subcutaneously implanted mini osmotic
Effects of theophylline, lidocaine, cyclophosphamide, hyoscine N-butyl bromide, tranexamic acid and cytarabine on hexokinase (HK) from human erythrocytes have been investigated in vitro. In addition, in vivo effects of theophylline and lidocaine were investigated in rats. HK was purified from human
40% of all deaths in Norway take place in nursing homes, more than in any other European country. The nursing homes are suitable places for the terminally ill old, provided that they are met by caregivers with the necessary skills in and resources for palliative care.

Abdominal pain in childhood is extremely common and presents frequently to both primary and secondary care, with many children having recurrent pain which impacts on daily functioning. Despite this most children have no discernible underlying pathology. We discuss the underlying mechanism for
Scopolamine (hyoscine) is commonly used as an anticholinergic drug to relieve nausea, vomiting and dizziness of a motion sickness as well as recovery from anesthesia and surgery. Sucrase as a hydrolytic enzyme breaks down sucrose into its monomers, glucose and fructose. The aim of this study was to
BACKGROUND
Different techniques were used to assess gastric emptying (GE) in small animals; most of them require sophisticated equipment, animal sacrifice and are expensive. In the present investigation a simple, non-invasive method based on bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is reported to study GE,
Scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrate is used in ophthalmic preparations and as a preanesthetic sedative. Its major use is in transdermal patches for the treatment of motion sickness. Scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrate was selected for study because of considerable human exposure resulting from its
