Patients do not routinely consumed cardiac medicine and used hearing aids. From the results of heteroanamnesis, physical examination, and audiogram examination conducted in Mr.S patients, it can be concluded that Mr.S suffers from presbycusis with hypertensive and congestive heart failure.

Neonatal Withdrawal

A case of neonatal withdrawal symptoms following maternal use of pentazocine was recently reported.1 This is the report of a second case with severe withdrawal symptoms which were successfully treated with phenobarbital. CASE REPORT A 2,180-gm, small-for-date, black female infant was delivered by cesarean section at 37 weeks' gestation. The mother, a 26-year-old gravida 3, para 0 woman with sickle cell anemia, had several painful sickle cell crises, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, and a urinary tract infection during this pregnancy. The two previous pregnancies had ended in abortion. In the second half of this pregnancy, she was treated with frequent packed-cell transfusions in order to decrease to less than 50% the number of her erythrocytes with sickle hemoglobin and hence the risk of clinical sickling.
