ABSTRACT
In 353 neonates, foot length were recorded along with birth weight, crown heel length and head circumference. Foot length correlated well with all three indices (p less than .01). Highest correlation in preterm babies was with crown heel length and weight, and in term babies with head circumference. The formula, length = footlength x 6.5 +/- 20 mm could be correctly used in 95% of babies. When it is difficult to weigh or measure the length accurately, foot length can serve as a useful measurement to assess a baby quickly.

Twenty-nine acute schizophrenic patients were treated under double-blind conditions for six weeks with either centbutindole in a dose range of 3 mg/day to 4.5 mg/day or trifluoperazine in the dose range of 15 mg/day to 22.5 mg/day. Both drugs produced a significant improvement in initial psychopathology. No significant differences were demonstrated between the two treatment conditions.
