Note and Comment

Public Utility Valuations and Rates - In comparing the reports of the public utility commissions with the decisions of the courts on questions of valuation of public utilities, nothing is more striking than this-that as time goes on the commissions are growingly impatient of the cost of reproduction theory, while the courts still insist there is no inflexible method of fixing value, but continue to prefer largely figures as to supposed reproduction cost. This attitude of the commissions is remarkable in view of the fact that every finding may be carried to the courts for review and possible reversal. The Illinois Commission reluctantly obeyed the direct orders of the Supreme Court to consider cost of reproduction, but refuses to treat that as the only basis. Re Springfield Consol. Ry. Co., P. U. R. Ig2o E. 474, 48o. The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled that it was practically impossible for it to find such value in the appraisal of lands of railroads as ordered by Congress in 1912. But the Supreme Court said it must do so because Congress had ordered it. U. S. v. Interstate Coin. Coin., 252 U. S

Declaratory Judgments - The widespread interest in this ntw form of remedial instrument, which was. somewhat dashed by the recent decision of the Michigan Supreme. Court \u27n Amwmy v. Grand Ropds.Ry. Co. (r920), 211 Mich. 59, holding declaritoty relief to b! non-judicial and -outside the constitutional power of \u27courts (9ig MicH. LAw Rzv. 86), has been revived by the action of\u27the legislature of. Kansas in enacting a derlaratory judgment statute almost identical with the .Michigan act.. This was done with full knowledge of the decision in the .4mmy case, and inasmuch -as it is well known that some of the judges oti\u27the Supreme Court of Kansas have taken an active interest in advocating this reform, it is fair to assume that the act is likely tQ escape the constitutionalguillotine The English judges. have for two geneiations or m9re been the.chief proponents of English procedural. reform, and nothing *ould be more universally welcomed in this country than the generous participation and leadership of our high. judges in the efforts of\u27the public to. make\u27the administration of justice .more respoksive to social needs

Treatment efficacy in a soman-poisoned guinea pig model: added value of physostigmine?

Current treatment of organophosphate poisoning is insufficient, and survivors may suffer from long-lasting adverse effects, such as cognitive deficits and sleep-wake disturbances. In the present study, we aimed at developing a guinea pig model to investigate the benefits of immediate and delayed stand-alone therapy on the development of clinical signs, EEG, heart rate, respiration and AChE activity in blood and brain after soman poisoning. The model allowed the determination of the therapeutic effects at the short-term of obidoxime, atropine and physostigmine. Obidoxime exerted the highest therapeutic efficacy at administration of the lowest dose (3.1 mg/kg i.m.), whereas two higher doses (9 and 18 mg/kg) were less effective on most parameters. Addition of atropine at 0.03 and 3 mg/kg (i.m.) to the treatment did not improve the therapeutic effects of obidoxime alone. Physostigmine (0.8 mg/kg im) at 1 min after poisoning increased mortality. Two lower doses (0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg i.m.) showed improvements on all parameters but respiration. The middle dose was most effective in preventing seizure development and therefore assessed as the most efficacious dose. Combined treatment of obidoxime and physostigmine shortened the duration of seizures, if present, from up to 80 min to ~10–15 min. In practice, treatment will be employed when toxic signs appear, with the presence of high levels of AChE inhibition in both blood and brain. Administration of physostigmine at that moment showed to be redundant or even harmful. Therefore, treatment of OP poisoning with a carbamate, such as physostigmine, should be carefully re-evaluated
