This study examines the relationship between marked or prominent negative symptoms as Affective flattening, Alogia, Avolition, Anhedonia and Attentional schizophrenic (D.S.M. III) patients were rated on the scale for assessment of negative symptoms (SANS) and the association between those negative symptoms and age, sex and certain illness variables were evaluated. Marked negative symptoms were more in elderly age group. Attentional impairment was significantly more in patients with longer duration of illness and those continuing medications. No other significant correlation could be established between negative symptoms and age or sex, duration of illness, duration of hospitalisation or current medications.Keywords

Twenty three cases of pentazocine abuse are studied. A steady increase in the number of abusers is found. In contrast to their western counterparts, all of them used only injectable form, only 13% preferred combining it with an antihistaminic, only 26% were polydrug abusers, depression, suicidal attempts and decrease in libido are more common in them, only one developed hallucinations and pentazocine did not precipitate withdrawal symptoms in narcotic abusers. A racial difference in the effect of the drug is suggested. A more discriminate use of pentazocine is advocated.Keywords
