Die Rolle Reduzierender Substanzen bei der Hyperergischen Reaktion

The Female Climacteric and the Menopause

“…None of the five patients who received injections of ascorbic acid in doses of 500 mg. or over experienced any relief in their symptoms after a pericd of twenty to thirty minutes, and the amount of adrenaline subsequently required to relieve the spasm was in no way diminished. Thus it was impossible to confirm the statement of Hochwald (1936) that asthmatic symptomscould be relieved by large intravenous injections of ascorbic acid. It may be mentioned that in these five cases symptoms were severe in two instances and slighter in three.…”

Ascorbic Acid in Bronchial Asthma

“…Vitamin C in Anaphylaxis and Allergy Claims have been made that ascorbic acid will protect guinea-pigs against anaphylaxis (Hochwald, 1935Salomonica, 1936, and in human beings will diminish the cutaneous reactions to tuberculin, in positive reactors when given intravenously (Heise et al, 1937). Hochwald (1936) has employed ascorbic acid in cases of bronchial asthma, and found it of some value in preventing symptoms when given regularly, or aborting symptoms when injected intravenously in massive doses (500 to 1,500 mg.).…”

“…Hochwald (1936) has employed ascorbic acid in cases of bronchial asthma, and found it of some value in preventing symptoms when given regularly, or aborting symptoms when injected intravenously in massive doses (500 to 1,500 mg.). Epstein (1936), while unable to confirm the work of Hochwald when he used ascorbic acid in either asthma or hay fever, did find that it was distinctly valuable in the treatment of asthma if employed in conjunction with injections of gold salts.…”
