[Poisoning caused by organophosphate insecticides. Study of 506 cases].

A total of 506 cases of acute poisoning with organophosphorus insecticides attended at Hospital Torrecárdenas, Almería, from 1981 to 1992 were prospectively studied. In all cases a predetermined clinical and therapeutical protocol was followed. Eighty per cent of poisoning events were accidental in nature, most occurred in males, greenhouse workers, and the toxic agents was most commonly absorbed through the skin and airways. All patients presented initially with overt cholinergic symptoms. The presence of bronchorrhea, tremor-fasciculations, respiratory depression and a lower level of consciousness was associated with severe poisonings. Uncommon and exceptional complications included: 5 cases with complete atrio-ventricular block, 3 cases with pancreatitis, 17 cases with endogenous re-intoxications and 3 patients with central diabetes insipidus.

[Computerized EEG and personality].

The ordinary EEG, on only showing qualitative malfunction of abnormal graphoelements in the tracings, proves itself insufficient to go into the analysis of psychological and psycho-pathological problems. Since computerised studies of EEG permit quantitative comparisons, we tried to apply them in correlation with the characteristics of the personality classified also with quantitative criteria, such as those offered in the personality inventory 16 PF; from which have been chosen the so-called factors of the second order, and the subjectivity-objectivity factors. The test was carried out on 100 voluntary subjects from Almeria (Spain), all with High School grades, between 18 and 40 years of age, of both sexes, all right-handed, without neuro-psychiatric history, and with normal ordinary EEGs. From the statistical analysis of the results one could deduce that there are significant specific relationships from the computerised EEG, with those secondary polar values of 16 PF: high and low anxiety, extroversion-introversion. Subjects with low anxiety presented a significant increase of the alpha band opposed to the subjects with high anxiety. There is a significant differences in power of the frontal areas between extrovert and introvert subjects. The extroverted subjects have a greater power of the right side and the introverted subjects a greater power of the left.
