Psychoneurotic profiles in Iraqi senior medical students

The self-rating inventory, Crown-Crisp Experimental Index [CCEI] was used to obtain the psychoneurotic profile of the sixth students of Baghdad University Medical College. The scores were higher than those found in other studies. An explanation is attempted for the difference

effects of some prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor drugs on serum glucose and insulin levels in diabetic patients

The effect of conventional doses of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors [FGSIS] on serum glucose and insulin levels was studied in 30 diabetic patients. The results show that treatment with aspirin [one gram tds] for three days did not cause a significant change in fasting serum glucose and insulin levels, but it caused a significant drop in serum glucose and elevation in serum insulin following glucose load. Mefenamic acid [250 mg tds] given for three days did not alter significantly the fasting serum glucose or insulin and it did not change the serum glucose or insulin levels following glucose load. Diclofenac [25 mg tds] given for three days again did not alter fasting serum glucose or insulin and it did not affect significantly the serum glucose or insulin levels following the glucose loads
