Little Albert: A neurologically impaired child.

Evidence collected by Beck, Levinson, and Irons (2009) indicates that Albert B., the "lost" infant subject of John B. Watson and Rosalie Rayner's (1920) famous conditioning study, was Douglas Merritte (1919-1925). Following the finding that Merritte died early with hydrocephalus, questions arose as to whether Douglas's condition was congenital, rather than acquired in 1922, as cited on his deat...

On cursory examination he was found with congenital phimosis with a pin-point central opening through the prepuce. On manipulation the glans penis appeared rather hard which led me to think that the prepuce must be firmly adherent to it. No probe or director cou...

Brain Monitoring in Critically Neurologically Impaired Patients

Assessment of neurologic injury and the evolution of severe neurologic injury is limited in comatose or critically ill patients that lack a reliable neurologic examination. For common yet severe pathologies such as the comatose state after cardiac arrest, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), critical medical decisions are made on the basis of the n...
