The employment of drugs acting on the central nervous system has been predicated largely on an empirical basis, the anticholinesterase compounds serving as an exception. As our understanding of the chemical constituents and their function in brain broadens, one can begin to see that basic theoretical information will be the foundation for new therapeutic approaches in this field. The observation that the effect of reserpine may be mediated through its action on liberating serotonin,2 the changes observed with diethylaminoethanol, an analogue of acetylcholine,3 and the utilization of antimetabolites of serotonin,4 all of which modify behavior, are a few examples of this theoretical approach.It has been found that iproniazid is a potent monoamine oxidase inhibitor in vivo,5 and since serotonin can be degraded by this enzyme, it is apparent that the mechanism of action of such a drug may result in an increase in cerebral serotonin,

1. A new, specific and sensitive urinary assay for separate normetanephrine (NM) and separate metanephrine (M) is described. 2. This test employs high-voltage paper electrophoresis after passage of the urine through a resin column. 3. There is no difference in the urinary excretions of either separate NM or separate M in normotensive or hypertensive subjects. 4. Phaeochromocytoma patients excrete significantly larger amounts of separate NM and separate M than normotensive or hypertensive subjects. 5. Incorrect results are occasionally obtained with other urinary assay tests which measure either the combined metanephrines or different urinary catecholamine metabolites for the diagnosis of phaeochromocytoma.

The article discusses the move of engineers and specifiers to choose water-saving products for high-efficiency toilets (HETs) and high-efficiency urinals (HEUs) meet green building criteria. It mentions the design of the water supply system and the drainage pipes of HETs and HEUs to accommodate the products' higher operating pressures. It notes the importance of the water supply, drainline, and particular characteristics of the fixtures' performance when water conservation is the objective.
