Synthesis and biodistribution of labelled p-iodo phentermine (IP), N,N,-dimethyl-p-iodo phentermine (IDMP) and N-isopropyl-p-iodo phentermine (IIP) in rats.

p-Iodo-phentermine (IP) and two of its derivatives, N,N,-dimethyl-p-iodo-phentermine (IDMP) and N-isopropyl-p-iodo-phentermine (IIP) were synthesized and radiolabelled with iodine by isotopic exchange. They were evaluated as potential brain imaging agents and compared to IAMP biodistribution in rats did not show any superiority to IAMP.

A study of left ventricular function in coronary patients before and after physical training.

Fifteen subjects recovering from a myocardial infarction or suffering from angina were given a maximum effort test on a bicycle ergometer and hemodynamic and angiographic investigations before and after a period of physical training. The training program consisted of three sessions of 60 to 75 min each week for two months. Maximum effort tests showed that physical capacity had increased by 17% (P less than 0.

[Physical training in patients with coronary insufficiency. 2 year report of 2 center's activities].

One hundred and twenty patients went through a complete cycle of physical training. Eighty seven of them were recovering from recent myocardial infarction, eighteen had angina pectoris and fifteen were recovering from operation of aorta-to-coronary by-pass. Physical training was considered to be contra-indicated in the presence of evolutive angina pectoris, obvious signs of cardiac failure and a voluminous ventricular wall aneurysm.
