A total of 56 women 18-45 years of age weighing 40-100 kg schedules for elective laparoscopic sterilization with or without uterine curettage were randomized into 2 groups, and 25 were subsequently analyzed in each data set. They received either 2 suppositories of 100 mg indomethacin each (Indocid) (Group 1), or 2 identical placebo suppositories (Group 2). At the same time, all patients received a premedication of temazepam 10 mg orally 2 hours preoperatively. General anaesthesia consisted of droperidol 1.25 mg IV, fentanyl 1.5 mcg/kg IV. Filshie clips were used exclusively. Analgesia consisted of 25 mg aliquots of pethidine iv in the recovery room and on the ward by using 1.0 mg.kg of in pethidine, 2-hourly if requested. There was no difference between groups with respect to patient characteristics. In the recovery room, the rating of no pain was lower with 28% in the indomethacin group (group 1) versus 18% in group 2, but the difference was not significant (p = .29). At 30 minutes postoperatively, 54% of those receiving indomethacin compared to 47% of the placebo groups had a pain score less than 30 (p = .09); and 96% compared to 72% had a score less than 70 (p = .07), but these differences were not significant. 48% in group 1 and 32% in group 2 did not require any postoperative pethidine (p = .39). The mean dosage of pethidine used was 24 mg +or- 27 mg in the indomethacin group and 42 mg +or- 44 mg in the placebo group. The Wilcoxon Rank Sum test also showed a nonsignificant trend for lower pethidine dose requirements in the indomethacin group, and in the Log Rank test this difference almost reached statistical significance. The incidence of preoperative (postmedication) nausea, headache and abdominal pain did not differ between the groups. There was a consistently lower incidence of postoperative symptoms or side-effects in the indomethacin group, but this was not statistically significant.

Mezlocillin (2 g) was administered by a single intravenous injection to 32 male patients with gonorrheal urethritis and to five female patients with gonorrheal cervicitis, none of whom had received any pre-treatment or had had any complications. The results of the treatment were "good" in 32 cases (86.5%), "fair" in three (8.1%) and "poor" in two patients (5.4%). One of the two "poor" cases showed no sensitivity to any penicillin derivative. Nausea during injection was observed twice, but the patients recovered immediately after the injection.

The acylureidopenicillins azlocillin and mezlocillin cover a broad spectrum of bacteria, including gramnegative and grampositive species as well as anaerobes. Azlocillin is especially active against P. aeruginosa. Mezlocillin has a good activity against Klebsiella. Both antibiotics inhibit Hemophilus, N. meningitidis and D. pneumoniae in low concentrations. Clinical and kinetic studies were made in more than 300 pediatric patients. Elimination-constant halflife, distribution volume and area under the curve were determined to propose dosage recommendations. Concentrations of azlocillin (44) and mezlocillin (77) were measured in the bronchial secretions. Up to hour 5 after i.v. injection a wide range of concentration values were observed. Azlocillin was found in the meconium in different concentrations after a single injection into the newborn. Mezlocillin diffused into the CSF even in uninflamed meninges, 3 h after injection the mean concentrations were 5.5 mg/l. 39 patients, 35 of them infected by P. aeruginosa, were treated by azlocillin. Urinary tract infections, wound infections and dacryocystitis were cured with one exception. Less convincing were the results in complicated bronchopulmonary diseases. The clinical efficacy of mezlocillin was similar. In a group of 59 patients there were only 3 without effect and some with improvement again in complicated pulmonary diseases. Side effects worth to be mentioned were not seen. In 2 patients the azlocillin injection caused nausea. Mezlocillin led to some minor transitory elevations of the transaminases and dyspepsia in some patients.

This double-blind, randomized study was designed to evaluate the use of indomethacin (Indocid, MSD) following caesarean delivery performed under spinal anaesthesia. Thirty ASA I-II women presenting for elective caesarean were recruited. Spinal anaesthesia was performed in a standard manner using hyperbaric bupivacaine, fentanyl and morphine. At the completion of surgery, subjects were administered two rectal suppositories, followed by 12-hourly suppositories for six doses (three days). The study group received 100 mg indomethacin suppositories and controls were given placebo (Anusol). Data collected included Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores at rest and with movement, VAS scores for nausea and itch, and analgesic use. Demographic data were similar in the two groups. Median time to first analgesia (TTFA) was nine hours in the control group v. 39.5 hours in the indomethacin group (P < 0.003). Additional analgesic requests throughout the postoperative period were less in women who received indomethacin: 4 v 11 (P < 0.001). Women who received indomethacin had significantly less pain on the first postoperative day, especially on movement: mean VAS 1.4 v 5.1 (P < 0.00001). There were no reported adverse neonatal or maternal effects from the use of indomethacin. Rectal indomethacin use following caesarean delivery leads to significantly improved pain relief compared with placebo. The combination of spinal morphine and rectal indomethacin leads to high-quality postoperative analgesia.

A 48-year-old male suffering with SUNCT (severe unilateral neuralgiform headache with conjunctival injection and tearing, rhinorrhea and sub-clinical sweating) presented in 1996 after a 10-year history of multiple failed therapies. The symptoms included strictly left-sided ocular, as well as facial and temple pain. The pain attacks were burning, sharp, shooting and occurred 25 times daily, lasting 2 to 3 minutes with tearing and conjunctival injection. There was no associated nausea or vomiting, but there was photophobia. No other autonomic changes were reported and the pain was not triggerable. Initially Indocin (indomethacin) was tried without significant benefit. Gabapentin (Neurontin) was then started with improvement at 1800 mg per day. The patient was then lost to follow-up for 3 years, as he moved from the Los Angeles area. He returned in 1999 having stopped the gabapentin after his prescription ran out in 1996, reporting the pain returned immediately. Again gabapentin was prescribed and at 900 mg three times daily he has been pain free for 12 months.
