摘要:

The present study was designed to test the hypothesis of “schizophrenic spectrum” disorders. The families of 60 process schizophrenics were systematically interviewed with structured interview forms, and evaluated for psychiatric illness according to strict diagnostic criteria The interviewed persons were then separated into two groups for comparative analysis according to a positive (FH+) or negative (FH‐) family history for schizophrenia. The frequencies of affective disorder and all non‐psychotic conditions did not differ to a convincingly significant degree between the two groups. Our data thus fail to support the “schizophrenic spectrum” hypothesis in which neurosis and sociopathy occur as a consequence of a genetic loading for sc

摘要:

A step‐by‐step analysis of Beck's and Hamilton's rating scales showed that both, scales failed to differentiate adequately between moderate and severe depression measured by a global clinical assessment. Each item of the scales was tested for calibration, ascending monotonicity, and dispersion parallel to the clinical assessment. Twelve items of Beck's scale and six items of Hamilton's scale were found valid with respect to these criteria. Those items should be taken into account in future research for baseline ratings and for change ratings of depressive states quantitativ

摘要:

Twenty‐three psychiatric patients were investigated during electro‐convulsive treatment in relaxation. The blood gases, pH and serum bicarbonate levels in blood samples from the internal jugular vein and the femoral artery were measured radiometrically. The LDH fractions were separated electrophoretically and their activity, along with the activity of aldolase, was then determined on test materials. EEG recordings were made during the seizure and also during post‐convulsive restitution. The following conclusions were drawn: (1) There was no evidence of anoxic anoxia in the brain during and after seizures. (2) A close relationship was found between the corresponding phases of electrical activity and brain metabolism as indicated by the blood gas changes during postconvulsive restitution. (3) On the basis of the increased glycolytic activity in the sera it is probable that glucose metabolism was shifted in the anaerobic direction during postconvulsive restitution of the brain ti

摘要:

Among 2,619 patients admitted to a medical department for duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer and ulcer dyspepsia without ulcer demonstrable by x‐ray, admissions to psychiatric departments were investigated. A total of 20.4 % of the patients had at some time during their lifetime been admitted, but no significant differences were observed in percentage among the three ulcer groups or the sexes.The incidence of psychoses was close to the expected, whereas neuroses among women and neuroses and psychopathy among men were far in excess of the expected. Among those operated on, the percentage of persons admitted to a psychiatric department was greater than among unoperated patients and their number of admissions per 100 observation years were significantly greater than for unoperated patients, within well‐defined observation periods. For patients operated on, only men with duodenal ulcer had significantly more admissions per 100 observation years in the postoperative than in the preoperative period. The course of the disease was more severe for patients with duodenal and gastric ulcer admitted to a psychiatric department than for those not admitted, but the subjective status at the time of the follow‐up did not differ between the two groups. Among men, there were a number of heavy drinkers, especially among those operat

摘要:

Some further results on the effects of the two hypnotic drugs, nitrazepam and flurazepam monohydrochloride, on mood state are described. An automated assessment and scoring system, Computer Assisted Psychometric System (C.A.P.S.), was used to assess mood state and showed that both hypnotics had a mild euphoriant effect even when administered to healthy volunteers during the daytime. This was most marked in the case of nitrazepam. It is argued that such euphoriant side effects should be further investigated as they can occur when hypnotics are administered on a long‐term nightly basis, and there may therefore be a dependency aspect for those patients who habitually take such hypnotic drugs.The broad scope of the C.A.P.S. system is also discusse

摘要:

A follow‐up of 35 patients first diagnosed as having presenile dementia at York Clinic is described. In only 15 cases did progressive deterioration confirm the diagnosis. A retrospective case note study of all the patients is described comparing the clinical features and results of special investigations of those patients in whom the diagnosis was confirmed in this way and those in whom it was not. The results of this study are used to illuminate some of the special difficulties in the early diagnosis of presenile dementi
