The participation of the levator scapulae and rhomboideus major muscles in some movements of the upper limb was analysed in 21 young adult male volunteers. A 2 channel TECA TE4 electromyograph connected with single coaxial needle electrodes was used. In abduction, elevation, adduction, flexion and circumduction participation of both muscles in free movements of the upper limb was found. In extension, however, these muscles were inactive. In the same movements analysed with load, a major intensity of action of these muscles was registered as compared with those obtained in free movements.

The participation of the trapezius (middle portion) and rhomboideus major muscles submitted to an isometric tension (holding downward dumbells of 11, 15 and 19 kg) was analysed in 40 young adult male vounteers. A 2 channel TECA TE4 electromyograph connected with single coaxial needle electrodes was used. In the initial phase of the test, holding downward, generally the trapezius and rhomboideus major muscles showed activity and no activity, respectively. In the cases where activity was present during the downward positions it was reduced gradually until complete rest.

The antiarrhythmic action of metoclopramide in cardiac arrhythmias caused by toxic doses of desacetyl-lanatoside C and digitoxin was studied in dogs. A comparison was made between the efficacy of metoclopramide and diphenylhydantoin in arrhythmias caused by digitoxin. The results indicate that metoclopramide antagonized the arrhythmias induced by desacetyl-lanatoside C, while causing a transitory reversion of those induced by digitoxin in most of the experiments. Diphenylhydantoin failed to show an arrhythmic effect in the majority of the tested animals.
