Effects of Barbiturates on Skeletal Muscle Function

Sixty four nights of UBV photometry of early‐type stars at La Sila

“…HD 76566: IY Vel; pulsating star, according to Burki et al (1982) peak-to-peak amplitude 0. m 04. HD 164492: possibly variable according to Borgman (1960); our data do not support variability.…”

Photometry and spectroscopy of the central star of the Trifid nebula

“…The measurement by Rufener (AB) is also close to our value, however the discrepancies of the earlier data remain unexplained. In particular, we cannot agree with magnitudes and colours as given by Echevarria et al Using values from Pickering (1908) 6.91 visual photometry Hiltner (1956) 7.63 0.00 −0.86 Borgman (1960) 8.16 two measurements made in two nights 8.26 Klare & Neckel (1977) 7.30 0.02 −0.83 30 diaph., probably comp. ABCDE Echevarria et al (1979) 7 The multiple system is located in the brightest, albeit homogenous, part of the nebula.…”

“…Table 1 collects the published photometry of this star. Remarkable is the note by Borgman (1960) about the difference between his two measurements; it can be noted that another star for which Borgman gives similarly different data -HD 35921 -was later proved to be an eclipsing binary (LY Aur). In case of HD 164492, some differences in photometry may result from the diaphragm used: a different amount of the bright nebulosity as well as further components may enter the diaphragm.…”

Effects of Anaesthetics and Their Interactions With Neuromuscular Blocking Agents in Cats

“…Small amounts of thiopentone may increase the responses of isolated rat diaphragms to indirect and direct stimulation but high concentrations cause inhibition (Secher, 1951;Sirnes, 1954). Analogous effects have been produced by subnarcotic and anaesthetic doses in intact dogs, cats, rabbits and rats (Kraatz, Gluckman and Shields, 1953;Sirnes, 1954;Quflliam, 1955;Borgman et al, 1960). The stimulant action of thiopentone may cause a transient antagonism to tubocurarine and decamethonium but the main effect is a depression of muscular activity which potentiates paralysis by these drugs (Kraatz, Gluckman and Shields, 1953;Sirnes, 1954;Borgman et aL, 1960).…”
