Urinary elimination of molybdenum by healthy subjects as determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

The concentration of molybdenum was measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) in the urines of two groups of healthy people living in two areas of France, Brest and Paris, about 500 km away. The concentration of Mo in the 24-hour urines of 10 healthy subjects from the Brest region was 25 +/- 10 micrograms/l, 38 +/- 20 micrograms/24 h and 21 +/- 9 micrograms/g creatinine. The concentration of Mo in the morning urines of 23 healthy men of the Paris region was 41 +/- 34 micrograms/l and 21 +/- 15 micrograms/g creatinine.

[Clinical trial of bromazepam in hospital psychiatry (author's transl)].

Bromazepam (6 to 18 mg/day in 3 divided doses) was administered during 28 days to 30 patients, (most of them admitted to hospital) presenting with neurotic, psychotic or depressive anxiety. The effects of the drug, as assessed with the Hamilton scale, were satisfactory in 29 out of 30 cases, irrespective of the nature of the anxiety. Bromazepam was well tolerated; the only side-effects recorded were daytime drowsiness in 2 cases, tremor in 2 cases and excitement in 1 case.
