摘要:

In a controlled investigation of paranoid hallucinatory chronic or episodic epileptic psychoses, the social data, psychopathological symptoms and the psychological test findings (WAIS, Rorschach, object‐sorting, proverb‐interpretation and the Stroop test) were analyzed in order to delineate the characteristics of the psychotic syndrome and to evaluate the significance of organic etiological factors. The study comprised 45 patients with complex partial epilepsy followed by psychosis after median 23 years, and 34 control patients with the same type of epilepsy of median 30 years' duration. Among the psychotic symptoms, simple, mostly empathizable persecutory delusions and auditory hallucinations predominated. The affect tended to remain appropiate, and autistic traits were uncommon. In accordance with this finding of a relatively circumscribed psychotic personality disturbance, psychotic test indicators were infrequent in the psychological tests, the Rorschach test 28%, and the object‐sorting test 18% of the cases. The poorer test performances in the WAIS and the Stroop tests, and the preponderance of organic Rorschach test signs in the psychotic group indicate that organic cerebral damage is of etiological significance in paranoid epileptic psyc

摘要:

Early neurological indicants based on information from the hospital admission clinical examination were studied in a group of patients who had sustained accident‐incurred traumatic head injuries. Patients who had been hospitalized during the 3‐year period just preceding the study were recalled and a battery of neuropsychological tests was administered. Early neurological problems were found to have a detrimental effect on subsequent test performance. The results supported the use of these early indicants to make prognostic decisi

摘要:

In a controlled study, corneal sensitivity, vibratory perception of the left index finger and great toe and achilles tendon reflex were examined in 100 diabetes patients and 100 controls.The result showed significantly reduced corneal sensitivity, vibratory perception and increased number of areflexi in the diabetic group. Further‐more, the decrease of corneal sensitivity, vibratory perception and presence of areflexi correlated well to one another and to age, duration of D. M. above 15 years and diabetic retinopathy.Significant intercorrelations suggest that a reduced corneal touch threshold forms part of a polyneuropathy in diabetes.A corneal hypesthesia cannot be considered a valuable index in screening a population for diabetes as previously has been suggeste

摘要:

The activities of acid phosphatase and N‐acetyl‐β‐glucosaminidase have been measured in 171 samples of cerebrospinal fluid from 104 patients suffering from multiple sclerosis. The mean level of activity of these enzymes was lower than that of controls.Patients who had the first or second bouts had somewhat higher activity of these enzymes compared to controls. The lowest values of these enzymes were found in patients with severe disability. Patients with late onset of the disease had higher levels of the enzymes compared to patients with an earlier debut of the illness, wehereas patients with a short history had higher values than patients with a longer du
