Proceedings of the Undersea Medical Society Workshop (8th) on the Strategy for Future Diving to Depths Greater than 1,000 Feet Held at Sea Ranch, California on 26-27 February 1975, (2002)

Halsey,M. J., Settle,W., Smith,E. B.

The report presents discussions dealing with all aspects of the subject problem. The following areas were stressed: Physico-chemical approaches, interaction of anaesthetics with proteins and...

Volatile anesthetic facilitation of in vitro desensitization of membrane-bound acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo californica

Young, A. P., Brown, F. F., Halsey, M. J., Sigman, D. S.

Incubation of membrane fragments bearing acetylcholine receptors from Torpedo californica under an atmosphere of 3% halothane, 1% chloroform, or 6% diethyl ether greatly facilitates the...

Effect of anesthetics and pressure on the thermotropic behavior of multilamellar dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes.

Mountcastle, D B, Biltonen, R L, Halsey, M J

The effects of gaseous anesthetics and pressure on the thermotropic behavior of multilamellar dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine liposomes were studied by using a high-sensitivity differential scanning...

The effect of nitrous oxide inactivation of vitamin B12 on rat hepatic folate. Implications for the methylfolate-trap hypothesis.

Lumb, M, Deacon, R, Perry, J, Chanarin, I, Minty, B, Halsey, M J, ...

Rats exposed to N20 show a decrease in liver folate to about 25% of the initial value after 10 days. There is a transient increase in the amount of 5-methylterrahydropteroylpolyglutamate in the first...

Systemically administered glycine protects against strychnine convulsions, but not the behavioural effects of high pressure, in mice.

Halsey, M J, Little, H J, Wardley-Smith, B

1. The effects of intraperitoneal administration of glycine were studied on the behavioural effects of raised ambient pressure in mice, compared with the effects of such administration on the actions...

Measurement and reduction of occupational exposure to inhaled anaesthetics.

Davenport, H T, Halsey, M J, Wardley-Smith, B, Wright, B M

The occupational exposure of hospital staff to inhaled anaesthetics was investigated using a personal sampling device that provides a measure of the average concentrations breathed by a person over a...

Effects of the calcium channel activator Bay K 8644 on general anaesthetic potency in mice.

Dolin, S. J., Halsey, M. J., Little, H. J.

1. The effects of the calcium channel activator, Bay K 8644, on the anaesthetic potencies of ethanol, argon and pentobarbitone were examined in mice. 2. Bay K 8644, at 1 mg kg-1 i.p., significantly...

Pressure reversal of alphaxalone/alphadolone and methohexitone in tadpoles: evidence for different molecular sites for general anaesthesia.

Halsey, M. J., Wardley-Smith, B., Wood, S.

Tadpoles were used to study quantitative interactions between high pressure and two intravenous anaesthetics, alphaxalone/alphadolone and methohexitone. The potencies of the two agents were decreased...

Pressure reversal of the effect of urethane on the evoked somatosensory cortical response in the rat.

Angel, A., Gratton, D. A., Halsey, M. J., Wardley-Smith, B.

1 The cerebral response evoked by stimulation of the forepaw in the rat shows an increase in latency and decrease in the amplitude of its initial components as anaesthetic dose (urethane) is...

Interactions of gamma-aminobutyric acid and noradrenaline in the high pressure neurological syndrome.

Angel, A., Halsey, M. J., Wardley-Smith, B.

The effects on the high pressure neurological syndrome (HPNS) of reducing brain noradrenaline (NA) levels were studied in adult rats. The onset of tremors and convulsions, which occur as pressure is...
