303 randomly selected skin out-door patients were assessed with P.G.I.Health questionnaire N-2 and an open-ended life event schedule. Functional group of skin patients were found to be remarkably different from organic group with regard to the consistency in the neuroticism score within diagnostic categories of each group, effect of duration and site of lesion, and emlotlo-disturbing situations on neuroticism score. In the organic group, these variables seem to effect the N-score as a reaction to illness, whereas functional group remains unaffected. stance of pre-disposed persona pattern in functional group of skin patients could explain these findings.

Twenty cases of acute intermittent porphyria were studied during the acute phase. Cardiovascular manifestations were noted in all the cases, with tachycardia in 20 and with hypertension in 17. Propranolol in doses ranging from 20--200 mg was given to all the cases and produced adequate control of tachycardia and hypertension. At follow-up, smaller doses of propranolol were found to maintain the pulse rate and BP within normal limits and also to prevent acute attacks.

PIP: A follow-up study was conducted among 116 acceptors of female sterilization in Bikaner, India. It was found that the acceptors were younger, more often Hindu, more literate, had husbands who were more literate, were more often employed, and were more likely to have busbands in the service class group than the general population. All of these differences between acceptors and the general population were statistically significant. Although more than 90% of the women had knowledge of some other method of contraception, only 33.6% had actually used any other method. More than 80% of the sterilizations were performed postpartum. The fact that none of the women resumed sexual relations during the 1st month postoperative and only 6% between 1 and 2 months indicates the unnecessary cautiousness these women displayed. An increase in weight was a favorable side effect in almost 40% of the cases. The complaints were vague and could be due to other causes. The study indicates that an increase in female employment could help increase adoption of sterilization. Women are often making the decision for sterilization without their husbands' knowledge or consent. The wide gap between contraceptive knowledge and practice points up a need for more motivational effort by family planning workers.^ieng
