Epinephrine itself does find some use in clinical medicine. The drug is used in order to increase blood pressure in cases of circulatory collapse, and to relax the bronchial muscle in acute asthma and in anaphylactic reactions. These activities follow directly from the agent s physiologic role. The biogenetic precursor of epinephrine, norepinephrine, has activity in its own right as a mediator of sympathetic nerve action. (An apocryphal story has it that the term nor is derived from a label seen on a bottle of a key primary amine in a laboratory in Germany N ohne... 

There are also bellows-style collapsible plastic containers such as blow molded bottles (jars) that are foldable. As shown in Figs. 3-16 and 3-17, the technology of foldable... 

After fabrication an initial collapsing of such a bottle should occur as soon as possible (no later than one to two hours after manufacture the sooner the better). Additional pressure is needed for this first-time collapse in order to create permanent fold rings and completely orient the plastic molecules (Chapter 8, PROCESSING AND PROP-... 

Product labeling can be accomplished by attaching a floating sleeve to the neck or shoulder section of the bottle. This cylindrical sleeve then accommodates the bellows as they fold from the bottom up and contains them within the sleeve as the jar is collapsed. The maximum length of the sleeve is limited by the collapsed dimension of the bottle. An... 

In a particularly dramatic case of placebo-induced side effects, doctors at a hospital in Jackson, Mississippi, treated a young man who came into the emergency room, said to the receptionist, Help me, I took all my pills and then collapsed to the floor, dropping an empty prescription container. His blood pressure was abnormally low, and he was treated with intravenous fluids, which brought it back to within a normal range. The prescription bottle bore a label indicating that the medication was part of a clinical trial of antidepressants. Further investigation revealed that he had... 

A student mixed aluminium foil and drain cleaner in a soft drink bottle, which started emitting gas. Another student carried the bottle outside and was claimed to have been overcome by the toxic fumes [1]. Most drain cleaners are alkalis, so that aluminium will dissolve to produce hydrogen. The bleach that it is is suggested may have been present will produce no toxic fumes in alkali, and one would be surprised to find arsenic or antimony compounds present. If the collapse was not... 

When a product cools, it contracts. This distorts the normal shape of the PET bottle panel. Hot-fill bottles are made with panels in the body section and patented features in the bottle base that collapse in a consistent way so that the bottle can be handled and distributed when cold. 

The containers must first be unscrambled. Watch out for induced dirt from friction, fracture of fragile containers, and static electricity from dry conditions and movement of plastics, which can attract small dust particles from the surrounding air. Most containers used for sterile filling (ampules, vials, bottles, and collapsible tubes) will be brought to the fdling line in precleaned and sterilized trays, so unscrambling might not be necessary. There are also certain types of outer cleaned bottles that are supplied in clean layers, with the outer plastic protection removed online. 

Rubber policemen are simply rubber sleeves (obtained from Mac-Farlane Robson Ltd Appendix 3), which fit over the ends of glass rods and provide a Soft surface with which cells may be scraped from their substratum. Alternatives for use with dishes are wedges of silicone rubber cut from bungs and stuck on hypodermic needles (Fig. 4.1). These also have the advantage that they can be readily sterilised by autoclaving. A collapsible type of windscreen wiper (Fig. 4.1) is readily constructed for scraping cells from the inside of roller bottles. Scrapers can be obtained from Costar (Appendix 3). 

Filament-Winding. This requires a mandrel to shape the desired finished product. Continuous filament or woven tape is fed through a liquid resin bath to impregnate it, and then wound onto the mandrel in a calculated pattern to optimize the final properties (Table 15.27). The assembly is oven-cured. A collapsible mandrel can then be removed from the plastic product or the mandrel can be left as a part of the finished product. These are the strongest plastic products ever made. Typical products are pipes, tanks, and pressure bottles. Other suggested products... 

A rigid bottle, a collapsible tube, or a flexible pouch made of plastic material may be used for liquid-based topical product. These preparations are marketed in a single- or multiple-unit container. For example, dissolved drug (or any substance, e.g., benzocaine) may diffuse in the suppository base and can, for instance, partition into polyethylene linings of the suppository wrap. 

A rigid bottle or jar is usually made of glass or polypropylene with a screw cap. The same cap liners and inner seals are sometimes used as with solid oral dosage forms. A collapsible tube is usually constructed from metal or is metal lined from LDPE or from a laminated material. 

Adorno perceived in the American landscape of lightness, brightness and substitution a kind of madness. Adorno s description of a bookcase in a villa he visited in Maine in t959 conveyed his terrors in the phoney society. The great titles of literature faced him and he reached out to take one. The whole display collapsed. It was all fake. The world as a simulation of itself is a crazy thought, but a true one too. In Adorno s story there is something else at play. It concerns the death of learning, the death of culture and the victory of the culture industry . But the phoniness is present everywhere. Adorno mentions wily restaurants that sell bottles of counterfeit red wine coated by a layer of synthetic dust.54 Time itself is synthesized. 

Additional multiple-unit containers are in widespread use such as collapsible tubes, metered-dose inhalers, and aerosol containers. The f/j / /AF provides standards for aerosols and containers used for aerosols in Aerosols, Metered-Dose Inhalers, and Dry Powder Inhalers (601) and Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms (1151). Commonly used for ointments and pastes, the collapsible tube container is often constructed of plastic, metal, or some lamination of plastic and metallic layers. Although such preparations can be packaged in jars or bottles, collapsible tubes can offer better protection from contamination and from environmental hazards. The metered-dose inhaler and aerosol container are other specific multiple-unit dosage form examples that are commonly fabricated from metal and are closely tied to the process of medication administration.
