Mosquito repellent activity of oils from Vitex negundo Linn. leaves.

Oil obtained from stream distillate of V. negundo leaves was fractionated by column chromatography. Mosquito repellence activity, as evaluated against Aedes aegypti was mainly confined to the most polar fractions. The protection period against mosquito bites by polar fractions ranged between 1-3 h. However, the mean protection period values of these fractions did not show significant increase in the subsequent subfractions.

Efficacy of carbamazepine in premenstrual syndromes. A report on four cases.

Five patients presented with severe mood disturbance and behaviour change during the premenstruum. Suspiciousness was an important feature in four of them. They were treated with carbamazepine 200-400 mg orally at bedtime for 7 days before the onset of menses. The follow-up period varied from 1 1/2 years to 2 menstrual cycles. Four patients showed remarkable improvement; one patient dropped out because of allergic rash.
