Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Ninety-eight ferrets were used in these experiments, which were undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of steroids and/or a long-acting vasoconstrictor, to develop dose-response curves for dexamethasone sodium phosphate if it proved efficacious, and to evaluate the possible synergistic effects of combination therapy."1.27Use of steroids and a long-acting vasoconstrictor in the treatment of postintubation croup. A ferret model. ( Pillsbury, HC; Postma, DS; Prazma, J; Sidman, J; Woods, CI, 1987)
