[Aspects of depression (author's transl)].

Ernst underlines the complexities of the various depressive conditions and briefly indicates what may be the development and limits of depression. The text ranges from the monosymptomatic forms (where lack of affect, insomnia or hypochondria are themselves presenting symptoms), to the depression of menopause and depression of retirement which are associated with psychic origins. It is emphasised that although the difference between a depressive state and a neurosis is a relative one, certain signs permit the recognition of the depression. These include: - chronicity; attacks of melancholy in contrast to chronic depression; - bodily perceptions, where the symptomatology of depression is identified directly with an organ or system; - the idea of death which represents the common denominator of these conditions.

[An approach to the psychiatric manifestations of alcoholism].

The authors of this article, confronted with the frequent and common emergencies associated with the "alcoholic's" behavioral changes-whether he be a symptomatic drinker, an episodic excessive drinker, or a chronic alcoholic-tested an original molecule belonging to the group of alkylsulfone-0-anisamides (triaprid) on twenty patients hospitalized in a general medical service. The results were very encouraging, showing an improvement of numerous symptoms,in patrticular, tremors, diverse pain, and aggressiveness. The authors note that daily doses of 300 to 400 mg of the modification were well tolerated.

Postoperative haemodynamics in patients with and without cardiac disease.

The cardiovascular reaction to primarily major vascular surgery was examined in 39 patients without cardiac disease and in 11 patients with cardiac disease. In the immediate postoperative period (24 h), patients without cardiac disease showed significant increases in heart rate and cardiac index and a decreased blood volume. The central pressures were increased during the first postoperative hour. Systemic blood pressure and vascular resistance remained unchanged, or decreased slightly. Postoperative haemodynamics in patients with cardiac disease followed the same trends as in normal patients; there were, however, no significant changes in cardiac index or central pressures, and in general the cardiovascular reaction to operation was less conspicuous than in the group of normal patients. The preoperative haemodynamic differences between the two groups were diminished in the immediate postoperative period because therapy could be guided by measuring central pressures.
