Chemical properties-dissolution relationship. IV. Behaviour in solution of the diclofenac/N-(2-hydroxyethyl) pyrrolidine salt (DHEP).

The behaviour in solution of the salt formed between diclofenac and N-(2-hydroxyethyl) pyrrolidine (DHEP) was examined. This salt is more soluble and dissolves more rapidly than sodium diclofenac and tends to give rise to supersaturated solutions, that only slowly evolve to equilibrium. Above 35 mM of DHEP, the solutions show unexpected solubilization ability towards sparingly soluble materials. The faster plasma level found, when DHEP is administered per os, can be associated to this weak detergency. These properties make DHEP a suitable pharmaceutical form to prepare extemporary solutions for short term analgesic therapy.

Intraocular ossification.

Intraocular ossification was investigated in a series of 20 eyes. Only 12 eyes were phthisical. The etiological factors were trauma, inflammation, glaucoma and massive intraocular gliosis. Bone tissue was of the compact and spongy type. A correlation was found between the intraocular ossification and retinal detachment, intraocular hemorrhage, intraocular neovascularization and uveitis.

Operant conditioning of skin resistance tonic levels.

The purpose of the current investigation was to determine whether increases and decreases in skin resistance tonic level could be controlled by individuals given discrete visual feedback of such activity. Thirty-six male undergraduate students served as subjects. They were assigned randomly in equal numbers to four groups; two of the groups received accurate feedback of skin resistance level changes and two received inaccurate feedback. The two accurate-feedback groups differed with respect to the order in which increases and decreases in skin resistance level were reinforced. Each noncontingent group was matched with one of the contingent groups in terms of reinforcement density. The results indicated that accurate feedback produced skin resistance level changes consistent with the type of reinforcement employed. However, operant control was not clearly sustained subsequent to a reversal in the type of tonic level change reinforced. Some problems related to the clinical application of skin resistance level training are discussed.
