We studied the effect of temperature on median motor responses in a 41-year-old man with organophosphate intoxication. At 32ยฐC, a normal amplitude compound motor action potential (CMAP) and a smaller spontaneous repetitive discharge (SRMAP) were present. With warming to 39ยฐC, the CMAP amplitude decr

โฆ Synopsis
The therapeutic effects of pipethanate (sycotrol) and two newly synthetized cholinolytics, DPX-8 and ANC-51, were compared with atropine in mice poisoned by DDVP, fluostigmine, phospholine, and paraoxon. The antagonistic activity of tested drugs against acetylcholine-induced contraction of rat ileum and oxotremorine-induced salivation and tremor in the mouse was also studied. The anticholinergic activity of pipethanate, DPX-8, and ANC-51 was weaker than that of atropine. However, the therapeutic effect of pipethanate was higher than that of atropine in mice poisoned by the organophosphates. DPX-8 and ANC-51 afforded a better antidotal effect than atropine only in DDVPpoisoned mice.
