In an open, double-blind study of phencyclidine intoxication, 21 white male subjects were later found to have instead ingested ketamine. These subjects were divided into two cohorts, one treated with 5 mg intramuscular haloperidol and the second with an active placebo. Assessment with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale revealed significant reduction in symptoms with haloperidol.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between pain scores and white blood cell counts in children with mucositis due to immunosuppression from cancer treatments.
- The research involved 50 children, measuring pain relief alongside changes in white blood cell counts and the effects of opioid and ketamine analgesia.
- Findings revealed a significant delay of about 0.29 days for pain to respond to increasing white blood cell counts, highlighting the dominance of biological recovery over analgesic intervention in pain management.
