Beta-Blockers: An Abstracted Bibliography

摘要

The bibliographic abstracts in this report are part of a project to assess biomedical effects of beta blockers, which play an important role in the control of hypertension. Specific attention has been focused on the biomedical effects in several general areas: vision, auditory, spatial orientation, musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, cognitive performance, pharmacology, cutaneous stimuli, and cortical effects. These investigations, combined with clinical research reports and the experience of our senior flight surgeons, will establish the foundation for judging the potential impact of any specific drug on safety of flight and operational readiness. Keywords: Respiration; Biochemistry; Histology; Nerve blocking; Cardiovascular agents. (AW)
