Marine phytoplankton vary in their response to chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Photosynthesis and growth in cultures of four marine phytoplankton species, isolated from different oceanic environments, were affected by three chlorinated hydrocarbons (DDT, dieldrin, and endrin) to varying extents. This ranged from complete insensitivity in Dunaliella to toxicity at concentrations of 0.1 to 1.0 part per billion of the pesticides in Cyclotella. Other forms were intermediate in their response.

Critical study of 5 per cent guanethidine in ocular manifestations of Graves's disease.

Assessment was made of 5% local guanethidine in treating eye manifestations in euthyroid patients with either treated thyrotoxicosis or ophthalmic Graves's disease. In a double-blind crossover study guanethidine caused greater improvement in lid retraction than a control solution. A long-term study showed that this improvement was maintained. A much lower incidence of side-effects was noted with 5% guanethidine than with 10% solution.

Clinical Trials as Topic↗

Clinical trial of lincomycin hydrochloride in Reiter's disease.

A double-blind trial comparing lincomycin hydrochloride (Mycivin) and placebo in 22 patients with Reiter's disease showed no significant difference in clinical or laboratory findings between the two groups. It is concluded that lincomycin hydrochloride is no more effective than placebo in the treatment of Reiter's disease.
