Narcolepsy, paranoid psychosis, major depression, and tardive dyskinesia.

This report describes a man with narcolepsy, paranoid psychosis, major depression, and tardive dyskinesia. The case illustrates the treatment difficulties such a patient presents and also raises questions about interactions between the putative neurotransmitters involved in each of these conditions. It is suggested that the presence of narcolepsy may facilitate the appearance of unwanted effects of antidepressants and neuroleptics such as psychosis and depression.

[Investigations on the clothing of preschool-children during winter (author's transl)].

These investigations should control the effect of increased indoor-temperatures in facilities for children and flats on the clothing-habits of 1--3 aged children during the heating period. The indoor- and outdoor-clothing was scored by the number of dress-layers investigated in 977 crèche-children. All these attempts were carried out while 23 days during the winter 1976/77 in 2 crèches which differed significantly referring to the distribution of indoor-temperature. The statistical evaluation results that all children were dressed nearly in the like wise in spite of a considerable difference of the temperature in both crèches; only the covering of the arms was significant less in the warmer new-builded crèch. The investigations showed further that the outdoor-clothing of the children was often not according to the climate. Even 10 degrees C difference of temperature were rarely followed by variations of the outdoor-clothing. Finally the dress of 1--3 aged children can be estimated as too abundant.
