[Blood histamine during submaximal muscular work].

Blood histamine was measured in 20 healthy males before and after performance of rectangular type submaximal work. The results show that following muscular work there is an increase in the blood concentration of the substance in all the subjects examined, the average increase being 33% although variations from one subject to another were considerable. It is hypothesized that the increase in the histamine level can be explained by admitting an increase in histidine-decarboxylase activity at tissue level with consequent synthesis of a greater quantity of histamine. It is also hypothesized that an excess of blood histamine may be of importance in the organism's general adaptation reaction to stress.

[Prevalence of essential arterial hypertension in workers in a metal-mechanic factory. Effects of long-term therapy with a beta-1 blocker].

The research over 1023 patients examined in a metallurgical firm for prevalence of essential hypertension has proven that 144 subjects were hypertensive (5 secondary and 139 essential hypertension). 51 patients (35.4%) did not know to be hypertensive, 26 (18%) were without therapy and 57 (39.5%) were inadequately treated. 75 subjects with essential hypertension were treated once daily with Atenolol 100 mg. After a six months treatment 85.4% of patients reached a good control of blood pressure (lying diastolic blood pressure less than or equal to 95 mmHg). Atenolol was well tolerated, few collateral effects have been encountered (13.3%) but mainly the treatment did not cause weakness nor diminished the work capability of the subjects which instead had proven to happen with non selective beta-blocking drugs.
