Asphamen Amfetamine sulfate. Aspir-sed Phenobarbital. Aspirbar Phenobarbital. Aspirin C9H8O4, acetylsalicylic acid, synthetic chemical compound. It is made from salicylic acid, found in the bark of the willow tree, which was used by the ancient Greeks and Native Americans, among others, to counter fever and pain. Salicylic acid is bitter, however, and irritates the stomach. The German chemist Felix Hoffman synthesised the acetyl derivative of salicylic acid in 1893 in response to the urging of his father, who took salicylic acid for rheumatism. It was commer-sially spread and marketed by Bayer from 1899.
In some persons, aspirin is most effective in relieving slight to moderately severe pain, particularly headache, muscle aches, and joint pains. It is less effective against deep-seated pain originating in internal organs. Because it suppresses inflammatory processes while relieving pain, it is still the treatment of choice for arthritis and related disorders. Aspirin reduces fever by increasing blood flow to the surface, thereby promoting sweating and heat loss from the body. There is evidence that all the therapeutic effects of aspirin involve the inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins, fatty acids with hormone like functions, which are implicated in inflammation and fever. This effect has been linked with the prevention of blood clots and studies suggests that half an aspirin tablet per day may reduce risk of heart attack and stroke. Aspirin causes insignificant gastrointestinal bleeding that can over time, however, cause iron deficiency. Gastric ulcers may also occur with long-term use. Complications can be avoided by using enteric-coated aspirin, which does not dissolve until reaching the intestine.
In large doses aspirin is toxic, however, causing kidney damage and, in severe cases, death. Aspirin should never be given to children with viral diseases such as chicken pox or influenza. Such use has been associated with occurrences of the sometimes-fatal Reye's syndrome.

Assasins 1. One who murders by surprise attack, especially one who carries out a plot to kill a prominent person. 2. A member of a secret order of Moslem fanatics who terrorised and killed Christian Crusaders and others.
Assassins is the Western name for a group of fanatical ismailis, a sect of the Muslim shi-ites, who worked for the creation of a new fatimid caliphate from 1094 to 1273. On the death (1094) of al-Mustansir, the Fatimid caliphate in Egypt was seriously split between his two sons; the Assassins were partisans of his deposed eldest son, Nizar. They seized and fortified a string of mountain strongholds in northern Persia, most notably Ala-mut in the Elburz Mountains, and Syria. From these fortresses they waged a war of terror against both orthodox Muslims and the Christian Crusaders. They often murdered prominent individuals; hence assassin in English came to mean a politically motivated murderer.
The Western designation for this group actually derives from the Arabic hashashin, meaning "users of hashish." The story related by Marco Polo and others that hallucinatory drugs were used to stimulate the Assassins to their acts is unconfirmed, however, in any Ismaili sources. The extremism of the Assassins began to moderate in the 13th century. They were destroyed in Persia by the Mongols (1256) and in Syria by the Mamelukes (1273).

Atropicarbon Phenobarbital. Atropin See: Atropine. Atropine C17H23NO3 , a poisonous, bitter, crystalline alkaloid, obtained from belladonna and other related plants. It is used to dilate the pupils of the eyes and as an antispasmodic. From New Latin Atropa, genus name of belladonna, from Greek atropos, unchangeable. poisonous, crystalline substance belonging to a class of compounds known as alkaloids and used in medicine. Its chief use is in ophthalmology, in which it is applied locally to the eye to dilate the pupil in the examination of the retina or to break up or prevent adhesions between the lens and the iris. It gives symptomatic relief from hay fever and head colds by drying up nasal and lachrymal secretions. Because atropine relaxes intestinal spasms resulting from stimulation of the parasympa-thetic portion of the autonomic nervous system, it is prescribed in certain types of bowel distress and is included in a number of pro prietary cathartics. It is used in the treatment of childhood bedwetting and is occasionally employed to relieve ureteral and biliary spasms. Atropine is no longer used as a respiratory stimulant. In the treatment of bronchial asthma to relax bronchial spasms, it has been largely replaced by epinephrine. Specific effects of atropine include the arrest of secretion of sweat, mucus, and saliva; inhibition of the vagus nerve, which results in an increased heart rate; dilation of the pupil and paralysis of accommodation of the lens of the eye and relaxation of bronchial, intestinal, and other smooth muscles. Central effects include excitement and delirium followed by depression and paralysis of the medulla oblongata, a region of the brain continuous with the spinal cord.
The ubiquitousness of the effects of atropine is a distinct disadvantage in its clinical use; as a result, a number of synthetic substitutes with more specific effects have been introduced. Homatropine, for example, has a more transient action in the eye and little or no effect on the central nervous system; trasentine and syn-tropan, on the other hand, have the antispas-modic action of atropine without producing dilation of the pupil, dryness of the mouth, or an increase in heart rate.
Atropine, which does not occur in appreciable amounts in nature, is derived from levo-hyoscyamine, a component of plants such as belladonna, henbane, thorn apple, and Scopo-lia, all of the family Solanaceae; the best source is Egyptian henbane (Hyoscyamus mu-ticus). It forms a series of well-crystallized salts, of which the sulfate is principally used in medicine. Both atropine and hyoscamine have been synthesized from tropine. Atroplex Phenobarbital.
