challenging business law questions 21sss101

There may be situations in which a publicity campaign, ostensibly directed toward influencing governmental action, is a mere sham to cover what is actually nothing more than an attempt to interfere directly with the business relationships of a competitor and the application of the Sherman Act would be justified. But this certainly is not the case here. No one denies that the railroads were making a genuine effort to influence legislation and law enforcement practices. Indeed, if the version of the facts set forth in the truckers' complaint is fully credited, as it was by the courts below, that effort was not only genuine but also highly successful. Under these circumstances, we conclude that no attempt to interfere with business relationships in a manner proscribed by the Sherman Act is involved in this case.

Question 1

I'd like to know the possibility of giving these drugs in epileptics:

vincamine (Oxicebral), cinnarizine, piribedil (Trivastal) and

pentoxyphylline (Trental). I'd like to know if they are contraindicated.

Question 2

If an epileptic patient, treated with oxcarbazepine, develops a rash,

should this drug be withdrawn or the dosage decreased and then

increased gradually again?

Question 3

Does a patient with refractory epilepsy benefit from acetazolamide?

Question 4

What anti-epileptic drug is recommended for a child with epilepsy and

co-morbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? Can Ritalin

safely be used for treatment?

Question 5

What is the difference in efficacy and pharmacokinetics between sodium

valproate and valproic acid?

Question 6

Is it safe to give valproic acid to infants below 12 months of age?

Question 7

How many times must the liver transaminases (SGOT and SGPT) rise to

justify a discontinuation of valproic acid therapy in children? Which of

these enzymes is more sensitive and reliable in this situation?

Question 8

1. Does valproic acid block the photosensitivity phenomenon in reflex

epilepsy?

2. Can a patient with this photosensitivity be safely exposed to computer

games or other photic stimuli when receiving valproic acid treatment?

3. Does the photosensitivity phenomenon occur in partial seizures?

Question 9

1. Can an epileptic fit be induced in idiopathic and symptomatic focal

epilepsy syndromes by flickering lights?

2. Is valproate effective against the photosensitive phenomenon (seizure

induction by flickering light)?

Question 10

How much time should one give before a loading dose of phenytoin is

judged to be ineffective in controlling seizures and an alternative should

be instituted
