    Notes: Summary Medifoxamine is a monoamine reuptake inhibiting antidepressant drug. We have investigated its pharmacokinetics in normal healthy volunteers. After an overnight fast, ascending doses of 200, 500, 750 and 1000 mg of medifoxamine were taken orally. Plasma samples were analysed using a specific HPLC method. Medifoxamine was well tolerated and exhibited a first order linear pharmacokinetic profile. It underwent rapid absorption and peak plasma concentrations were achieved about 1.0 h after administration. Thereafter the elimination profile was biphasic with a mean terminal half life less than 3 hours. We found a linear relationship (r=0.80) between administered dose and AUC values for the four doses. High values were obtained for the apparent volumes of distribution and the plasma clearance.

    Notes: Summary 1 The effect of pre-dosing with 15 mg domperidone, a relatively selective dopamine 2-receptor antagonist, on the ocular hypotensive action of a single oral dose of 25 μg pergolide, a dopamine 2-receptor agonist, was studied in 9 normal human volunteers, using a non-invasive method. 2 Compared with domperidone followed after 1 h by placebo, placebo followed after 1 h by pergolide had an ocular hypotensive effect in both eyes. Domperidone followed after 1 h by pergolide had no effect on intraocular pressure in both eyes. 2 The results of this study showed that domperidone inhibited the ocular hypotensive action of pergolide, suggesting that pergolide reduces introcular pressure by the stimulation of the peripheral dopamine 2-receptors.

    Notes: Summary The effects of indomethacin and captopril on local cutaneous blood flow changes and weal induced by intradermal injections of bradykinin were assessed in two randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in healthy volunteers. Alterations in cutaneous blood flow were estimated by laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and erythema area. LDF output, erythema area and weal volume increased with incremental bradykinin dose. Single doses of indomethacin 25 mg and 75 mg did not affect these cutaneous responses compared with placebo. Captopril 25 mg significantly potentiated the increase in local cutaneous blood flow measured by LDF, but not erythema area, and weal volume induced by bradykinin. The effects of the combined treatment of indomethacin 75 mg and captopril 25 mg were not significantly different from those due to captopril alone. The enhanced cutaneous effects of bradykinin following administration of captopril are in keeping with effective kininase II inhibition in the tissues. Cyclo-oxygenase products release does not appear to contribute to the cutaneous actions of bradykinin nor the potentiation of these responses by captopril.

    Notes: Summary Marked interindividual variation has been observed in the pharmacokinetics of the antiarrhythmic agent mexiletine. The fact that its urinary excretion is dependent on urinary pH may account, in part, for such variation. The influence that genetic differences in hepatic metabolism of the debrisoquine-type may have on mexiletine pharmacokinetics was considered in this study. The pharmacokinetics and urinary excretion of mexiletine (250 mg administered intravenously) were investigated in 5 rapid extensive metabolisers (EM), 5 slow EM and 5 poor metabolisers (PM) of debrisoquine, under conditions of controlled urinary pH. Mexiletine disposition kinetics was found to be altered in PM individuals. These subjects showed higher total area under the curve (AUC), (15.7 versus 8.16 μg · h · ml−1) prolonged elimination half-lives (in serum and urine) (serum: 18.5 versus 11.6 h, urine: 19.2 versus 11.7 h) and lower total clearance values compared with EM (216 versus 450 ml · min−1). In this respect, slow EM individuals generally presented intermediate values of those pharmacokinetic parameters. A higher incidence of adverse-effects was also observed among slow EM and PM subjects. It is concluded that genetic differences in mexiletine oxidation of the debrisoquine-type have an influence on its observed pharmacokinetic variability. The clinical consequences are discussed.

    Notes: Summary The influence of 2 weeks oral intake of nifedipine (2×20 mg) on the oxidative metabolism of antipyrine was investigated in 12 normal volunteers, who had 1050 mg antipyrine solution orally before and after the course of nifedipine. There were no statistically significant differences in the saliva pharmacokinetic parameters of antipyrine on both occasions. However, the metabolite profile of antipyrine in urine showed a significant reduction in the amount of norantipyrine excreted after compared to that before nifedipine administration (16.5 vs 19.6%). This may have implications for drugs that share a similar demethylation pathway with norantipyrine.

    Notes: A modified version of the microwave signal processing system for the 1.5 tonne niobium bar gravitational radiation antenna at the University of Western Australia has been developed and tested during preparations for long-term observation. Among the new features of the system are a noncontacting microwave coupling to the motion transducer, cryogenic low-noise amplification, and automatic carrier suppression with improved long-term stability.

    Notes: Gravitational radiation detectors must detect extremely small displacements, and thus require elaborate vibration isolation systems to attenuate the surrounding environmental noise. Contacting electrical leads can provide a direct path that will short circuit the vibration isolation, and degrade the antenna Q factor. Noncontacting microstrip transceivers provide a practical means of electromagnetically coupling to a resonant bar gravitational antenna when a microwave transducer is used as a signal readout system. Two microwave patch antennas now operate as transceivers on the University of Western Australia's 1.5 tonne niobium bar gravitational radiation antenna and are described in detail in this paper. This system allows improved vibration isolation without degradation of the acoustic Q factor of the niobium bar. Combined with a cryogenic amplifier, this system should achieve a reduction of 57 dB in the series noise power. This corresponds to a factor of 700 reduction in the effective displacement noise when referred to the transducer, from 2×10−16 to 3×10−19 m/(square root of)Hz.

    Notes: Summary. In a prospective, randomized, cross-over study, 14 postmenopausal women completed 9 months of treatment with conjugated equine oestrogens, 1.25 mg daily. Seven women added dydrogesterone 20 mg daily for 12 days during months 2, 3 and 4, and then 10 mg daily for an identical time in months 5,6 and 7. The other seven women added the two dydrogesterone doses in reverse sequence. No dydrogesterone was taken during months 8 and 9. Lipids and lipoproteins were measured before treatment and at the end of months 4, 7 and 9. Lipids were also estimated in an untreated (reference) group of eight postmenopausal women on two occasions 6 months apart; these showed significant changes in HDL2- and HDL3-cholesterol. In the treatment group, HDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein (apo) Al were significantly higher and LDL-cholesterol and apo B were significantly lower at months 4, 7 and 9 compared with baseline values. Triglyceride levels were increased significantly over baseline values, but remained within the normal range. No significant differences between the two dydrogesterone doses were observed on any lipid and lipoprotein fraction, nor were there any differences between the oestrogen-only and oestrogen/dydrogesterone treatment phases. Dydrogesterone appears to cause little, if any, lipid and lipoprotein changes and assessment in a larger population of postmenopausal women is warranted.

    Notes: Anxiety was assessed in younger and older adolescent athletes in an attempt to test aspects of Hanin's zone of optimal function theory. Sixty-five participants in a track and field camp completed anxiety inventories at baseline and were instructed: 1) to recall how anxious they felt prior to their best performance and 2) to predict how anxious they would feel prior to an informal meet to be held 4 days later. Actual precompetition anxiety was assessed 1 h prior to the meet. Predicted precompetition anxiety was significantly higher than baseline and actual precompetition anxiety. Mean actual precompetition anxiety was not elevated above baseline. However, 34% (22/65) of the sample experienced high levels of precompetition anxiety, and the majority of these (17/22) reported performing optimally with high anxiety. Significant correlations between predicted and actual precompetition anxiety occurred for boys, but not for girls. The differences between predicted and actual precompetition values tended to be smaller in boys than in girls. Based on this sample, it is concluded that: 1) in accordance with the zone of optimal function theory, young athletes display considerable diversity in actual and optimal precompetition anxiety values; and 2) young athletes tend to overestimate the level of anxiety they will experience prior to an easy competition.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der parallelen Berechnung von Vektornormen und Skalarprodukten in Gleitkomma-Arithmetik und einer möglichen neuen Form der Computer-Arithmetik, dem “Symmetrischen Level-index System”. Die Vektornormen sind ein lehrreiches Beispiel für die Unterschiede zwischen diesen beiden arithmetischen Systemen bezüglich einer möglichen Programmierung mit (vollkommener) Robustheit und Parallelität. Der Konflikt zwischen der Robustheit der Rechnung—im Sinne von Genauigkeit und Sicherheit vor Überlauf und Unterlauf-und einer einfachen Parallelisierbarkeit von Algorithmen in einer Gleitkomma-Umgebung wird aufgezeigt. Es wird deutlich, dass dieser Konflikt bei Verwendung des “Symmetrischen Level-Index Systems” verschwindet. Der Wegfall von Überlauf und Unterlauf in diesem System gestattet die direkte Programmierung der Definitionen in einer einfachen, robusten und unmittelbar parallelisierbaren Weise. Numerische Resultate illustrieren, dass das “Level-index System” vergleichbare Genauigkeit zu Gleitkomma liefert, wen das letztere System funktioniert, und noch hohe Genauigkeit dort resultiert, wo das Gleitkomma-System völlig versagt.
    Notes: Abstract In this paper we consider the parallel computation of vector norms and inner products in floating-point and a proposed new form of computer arithmetic, the symmetric level-index system. The vector norms provide an illuminating example of the contrast between the two arithmetic systems under discussion in terms of the ability to program for (complete) robustness and parallelizability. The conflict between robustness of the computation—in the sense of the dual requirements of accuracy and freedom from overflow and underflow—and easy parallelization of the algorithms within a floating-point environment is made plain. It is seen that this conflict disappears if the symmetric level-index system of arithmetic is used. The freedom from overflow and underflow offered by this system allows the programming of the straightforward definitions in a way which is simple, robust and immediately parallelizable. Numerical results are given to illustrate the fact that the symmetric level-index system yields results of comparable accuracy to those of floating-point in cases where the latter system works and still yields results of high accuracy when the floating-point system fails altogether.
