The effects of indomethacin in treated hypertensive patients.

1. Twelve treated hypertensive patients (ages 58-71 years) who had also been treated for joint disease participated in a randomized double-blind crossover placebo-controlled study to investigate the effects of indomethacin (25 mg three times daily) on blood pressure and biochemical parameters over a 6-week period. 2. Blood pressure was increased in all patients throughout the indomethacin treatment period (P less than 0.001)--average mean blood pressure increases were 9 mmHg (casual), 8 mmHg (supine), 10 mmHg (standing). 3. The blood pressure increase during indomethacin treatment was independent of the particular antihypertensive regimen in use. 4. Plasma aldosterone concentration was reduced by 50% (P less than 0.01), plasma renin activity was reduced by 43% (P = 0.102) and plasma urea concentration was increased by 17% (P less than 0.001) during indomethacin treatment. 5. The findings confirm that indomethacin impairs the blood pressure lowering effect of antihypertensive regimens.

Social work intervention with Bedouin-Arab children in the context of blood vengeance.

Blood vengeance is a culturally specific phenomenon that can place Bedouin-Arab children at high risk of neglect. This case study examines the psychological and social implications of vengeance on children, the children's coping strategies, and the role of social work. The social work function includes nonauthoritarianism, strategies for forming a positive helping alliance, and various forms of culturally sensitive assessment and intervention. The study therefore yields insight into bridging the emic-etic gap in conceptualizing and responding to child neglect in a non-Western society.
