Psychiatric disorders in two African villages.

Adults in two small Ugandan villages were interviewed, using a standard psychiatric examination and standard methods of case identification and diagnosis. Twenty percent had disorders just above threshold level, and a further 5% had more definite disorders. Most of these conditions were depressive, but hypomanic and anxiety states were also represented. A survey of women in southeast London found only half this frequency of disorders. Further studies are required to confirm these results.

Chloride ion concentration in vaginal discharge and urine during puberty.

In 27 prepubertal-pubertal girls the chloride ion concentration in vaginal discharge and urine was estimated four times during the menstrual cycle by means of a direct new micromethod using a Cl-selective electrode. In pubertal girls the chloride content showed changes both in vaginal discharge and in urine; the latter changed practically parallel with the vaginal value. A sharp rise in chloride content characteristic of normal ovulation was observed in 5 patients free from hormonal disturbances, while there were significant differences during ovulation 5 times and in the premenstrual phase 6 times in the girls with hormonal disturbances.
