Panic disorder and cigarette smoking behavior.
Smoking has been discussed both as a risk factor for panic disorder and as a contributing factor to elevated cardiovascular risk in panic disorder patients. Smoking habits and their association with panic disorder were studied in a sample of 102 panic disorder patients. Both for female and for male patients, rates of smokers and of exsmokers were substantially higher than in the general population. However, a surprisingly high number of patients had succeeded in reducing or quitting cigarette smoking because of their panic disorder, although they experienced little benefit in regard to panic symptoms from doing so. We conclude that the motivation for changing smoking habits is high in this population with elevated smoking prevalence and should be taken into consideration by therapists.

A case of Asperger's syndrome first diagnosed in adulthood.
A 25-year-old white male patient was admitted to the Department of Psychiatry, Division of Social Psychiatry, of the University of Vienna, Austria, for severe social withdrawal, selective mutism and outbursts of violence with attacks on his mother. Careful examination revealed the presence of all the typical symptoms of Asperger's syndrome. The diagnosis had never been made before, although the patient had a history of a difficult childhood with several admissions to a child psychiatric inpatient unit for 'obsessional neurosis' and an institutional career. It is stressed that, in view of the availability of treatments and the deleterious effect of the untreated condition in the sensitive years of personality development, early recognition and diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome are of utmost importance.

[Investigations of body fluids with low protein content by the combination of micro-disc-electrophoresis and electroimmunodiffusion (author's transl)].
Fluids of the human body with low protein content, i.e. aqueous humour, tears, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine were analyzed by a combination of micro-disc-electrophoresis and electroimmuno diffusion. By this method both qualitative and quantitative statements about the proteins of these fluids can be established.

[Semiology and nosology].
While distinguishing three successive steps in the making of a diagnosis, the authors point out the premises of modern semiology. They refer to the work of K. Schneider (pragmatic approach), Jaspers, Bleuler and Janzarik (approach based on theoretical concepts), Kasanin and finally Langfeldt (empirical approach). Current approaches of semiology try to define diagnostic criteria. In that line of thinking, the school of Vienna, while establishing the insufficiency of all systems, proposes the adoption of a polydiagnostic approach that would eventually define consistent semiologies that refer with certainty to real nosological entities.
