For the last 10 years, data have been accumulating indicating that, contrary to former evidence, lithium may play a useful role in the treatment of certain schizophrenic patients. Delva & Letemendia (1982), after reviewing major controlled and uncontrolled studies in this area, concluded that “¿ between one third and one-half of patients with schizophrenia will benefit from lithium―. In two...

The February 1992 issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry contained the summary report from the Second Phase of the Cross-National Collaborative Panic Study (CNCPS) on a clinical treatment trial of panic disorder. This manuscript was submitted in 1988 and took four years of response to critiques and revisions to generate a manuscript that was acceptable to the Editor of the British Journal o...

ABSTRACT Let A be a population sub-domain of interest and assume that the elements of A cannot be identified on the sampling frame and the number of elements in A is not known. Further assume that a sample of fixed size (say n) is selected from the entire frame and the resulting sub-domain sample size (say nA ) is random. The problem addressed is the construction of a confidence interval for a ...

4-P-CHL0R0PHENYL-l-(3-p-fiuorobenzoylpropyl)-4-hydroxypiperidine (R. 1625, Haloperidol) is a new compound synthesized by Janssen et al. (1959) and reported to have biological properties similar to those of the phenothiazines at a much lower dosage level. One difference, however, was a greater tendency to potentiate pentobarbitone hypnosis. Von Eiff and Jesdinsky (1960) conducted a “¿ double b...

The main powerful method for establishing termination of term rewriting systems was discovered by Nachum Dershowitz through the introduction of certain natural well founded orderings (lexicographic path orderings). This leads to natural decision problems which may be of the highest computational complexity of any decidable problems appearing in a natural established computer science context. 1....

therapeutically effective. This author utilized different treatment methods, ranging from discussion, guidance and persuasion to an analytical approach which aimed at inter pretation of transference and resistance. All patients except two were treated individually and sedative medication prescribed when considered necessary. If, in the future, it should be substantiated that the results of such...

The terms “¿ macrocosm― and “¿ microcosm― have been taken by Jung from the traditions of the alchemists and the philosophy of Leibnitz for expressing his theories, but they are not often used elsewhere in psychiatry or psychology so it may be as well to define them when introducing them here.* The macrocosm is the entire universe around us, with everything in it. It is also the orderly ...

Bonavita (1) found that the reaction of pyridoxal (PAL) and of pyridoxal 5•Œ-phosphate (PAL-P) with cyanide in a slightly alkaline solution produced highly fluorescent compounds and this reaction has been applied to fluoro metric determination of PAL and PAL-P as "cyanohydrin method" . Recently it was found that PAL and PAL-P were oxidized with oxygen by a catalytic action of cyanide to 4pyrido...
