Prevention of motion sickness with selegilinum hydrochloricum.

Summarizing, it may be concluded that selegilinum hydrochloricum significantly prolongs the time before the development of nausea and vomiting provoked by vestibular stimulation. The drug controls, within a short period, the provoked discomfort, and restores normal condition rapidly. It prevents the changes in blood pressure, pulse rate, and cutaneous galvanic resistance following Coriolis stimulus. Due to these properties Jumex may be used for the prevention, moderation of motion sickness, one of the widespread phenomena of our age, without decreasing working capacity.

Examination of the vestibular system by short-time accelerations.

Short accelerations, lasting for the split part of a second can be produced by the chair rotating with uniform speed in such a way that the chair will change its direction after each turn of 360 degrees. The accelerations of alternating directions produce ampullopetal flows in the right and the left labyrinth alternately. The nystagmus elicited will be finished during the rotation of the chair with uniform speed, thus during the stimulus-free period. The short acceleration rates render possible the multiple dosage of identical stimuli as well as the gradual increase of the intensity of the stimulus. Since the stimulus produces ampullopetal flow in the right and the left labyrinth alternately the central vestibular equilibrium will not be changed. The author applied acceleration stimuli of 20, 30, 40 and 50 degrees/sec2 doses to 20 healthy male subjects and studied the manifestations of the nystagmus elicited.
