[A control study of intravenous versus oral clomipramine in major depression]
1Mental Health Institute of Hunan Medical University, Changsha.
Abstract:
Intravenous clomipramine (n = 105) and oral clomipramine (n = 64) were compared in a control study of 169 inpatients with major depression. The therapeutic effects were evaluated with four-degree scale and the rating scales of HDS and CGI. The results showed intravenous group has earlier response and better antidepressive effects than oral group within treatment period of 2 weeks. No significant differences between two groups were found in anticholinergic side-reaction. Clinical useful values of intravenous clomipramine were discussed.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
