Differential responses to JNJ-37822681, a specific and fast dissociating dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, in cynomolgus monkey and Sprague-Dawley rat general toxicology studies: clinical observations, prolactin levels, mammary histopathology findings and toxicokinetics.

JNJ-37822681 is a potent, specific and fast dissociating dopamine D2 receptor antagonist intended for the treatment of schizophrenia. Its nonclinical toxicological profile was investigated in a series of general repeat dose toxicity studies in cynomolgus monkeys and Sprague-Dawley rats. The maximum duration of treatment was 9 and 6 months, respectively.

Nitric oxide: description of a pipeline delivery system.

We describe a pipeline system suitable for the delivery of nitric oxide gas to an 18-bed intensive care unit. The pipeline was developed and installed according to the current UK regulations HTM 2022, which relates to the supply of piped medical gases. Where HTM 2022 did not specify the appropriate standard, we consulted widely to achieve a safe solution.

Hypoxaemia in infants with respiratory tract infections.

Nineteen infants who were graduates from special care baby units underwent two overnight tape recordings of oxygen saturation (SaO2) and breathing movements; one during an upper (n = 12) or lower (n = 7) respiratory tract infection and the other when free of infection. Baseline SaO2 was lower during infection (median 99.6 vs 100%, p less than 0.

Arterial oxygen saturation in preterm infants at discharge from the hospital and six weeks later.

To obtain normal data on arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) in preterm infants and to study early developmental changes in SaO2, we obtained overnight tape recordings of SaO2 and breathing movements in 160 preterm infants at their discharge from three special care baby units (mean gestational age at birth 33 weeks; at time of study, 37 weeks). One hundred ten infants (69%) underwent a second recording 6 weeks later. Median baseline SaO2 during regular breathing was 99.
