Posttraumatic flashbacks, dream disturbances, and mental imagery.

Posttraumatic flashbacks or revisualizations are a well-established symptom of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These episodes are capable of precipitating accidents. In this two-part study, the results of a previous pilot study which demonstrated an association between flashbacks and dream disturbances are confirmed. Such an association may be of use in prediction which PTSD patients are vulnerable to flashbacks. In addition, a comparison is made between flashback PTSD patients and other PTSD patients using the Impact of Event Scale. Flashback patients reported more frequent intrusive items on average and, specifically, more frequent daytime mental imagery. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Psychiatric consultations in a general hospital: compliance to follow-up.

Noncompliance rates for office visits following a psychiatric consultation in a general hospital may be lower than previously reported, although noncompliance is still a significant problem. There is a significant drop-out rate within two follow-up sessions. Few patients entered psychotherapy. Geriatric patients preferred only medication follow-up. The possible reasons for the lower noncompliance rate in this study are discussed.

Acute embolic bilateral renal artery occlusions in an elderly patient--case report: importance of early diagnosis.

Acute bilateral renal artery occlusion by emboli is a rare event and diagnosis is very often delayed. There is a high mortality rate because of anuria and controversy exists concerning an appropriate therapeutic regimen. We present the case of an elderly patient with bilateral artery occlusion, treated conservatively with anticoagulants, fibrinolytic agents and dialysis, and a review of the pertinent literature.
