Alcoholics, heroin addicts and normal controls were asked for their degree of preference for the two lateral (left, right) sides during their performance of unilateral activities involving one of the four paired organs, hand, foot, eye and ear. Side-bias was assessed by a questionnaire, with 22 items for hand preference, and five items each for foot, eye and ear preference. Group difference was assessed with a mixed-factorial design (Group x Side) for each form of side-bias. Unlike heroin addicts and normal controls, alcoholics exhibited a significant reduction in right side-bias for all four measures, which suggests an anomalous pattern of lateralization.
Screening for HIV infection has been made mandatory for every unit of blood collected for transfusion in major cities of the country, having facilities for such screening. Results of HIV screening among blood donors received from the 4 Metropolitan cities of Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta and Madras have been analysed year wise from 1989 to 1991 to determine the magnitude and trends of HIV infection in different categories of blood donors and the seropositivity rates seems to be increasing over time. Universal coverage of HIV screening for donated blood has not been fully achieved and the justification and urgency for achieving complete coverage is highlighted.
