Twenty-five patients suffering from primary dysmenorrhoea took part in a double-blind crossover study which demonstrated flurbiprofen (100 mg three times a day) to be significantly more effective than paracetamol (1 g three times a day) in providing pain relief on Days 1 and 2, and on the worst day of pain. Flurbiprofen also appeared to reduce the incidence of secondary symptoms of nausea and feeling faint, and menstrual blood loss. The study was also analyzed as if a parallel group study and showed flurbiprofen to be significantly more effective than paracetamol.

African American adults are half as likely to donate blood than whites. In order to understand this difference, African American and white participants completed a survey regarding demographics, medical and donation history, and motivators and barriers. The most agreed upon motivators to blood donation were more convenient place and times, being asked and taking less than hour. Motivator responses which differed by race included donating for infectious disease test and reward, and assurance donating is safe. The most agreed upon barriers were not having a convenient place, not knowing where (response differed by race) and fear of needles, pain and feeling faint.
