Schizophrenia and sexual functioning.

To address the scarcity of literature on the sexual functioning of schizophrenic patients, two therapists interviewed 20 schizophrenic patients in a community mental health center's inpatient unit. In a context designed to make the patients feel safe and to encourage rapport, patients were asked about sexual dysfunctions, sexual norms, relationship patterns, and drug-related sexual side-effects. The therapists' impressions were that the data obtained were as reliable as similar information obtained from patients presenting to a sexual dysfunction clinic, that the incidence of sexual dysfunction among these schizophrenic patients was no different from that among the general population, and that the manifest sexual relationship problems were due to lack of social skills and deterioration of social functioning, rather than to a primary, structural impairment specific to schizophrenia.

[Unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy following brief periods of intubation. Two cases (author's transl)].

One of these two cases (1 h 30 and 48 hours) was permanent. The cause of the paralysis seems to be either from compression of the nerve between the endotracheal tube cuff and the cricoid, or from compression between the thyroid ala and a dislocated arytenoid cartilage from use of an unnecessarily large tube. An anatomical study has helped to confirm this hypothesis and shows the presence of an ischaemic aera overlying the nerve at the level of its entrance into the larynx due to the endotracheal cuff.

Cranial suture closing in Homo sapiens: evidence for circaseptennian periodicity.

In their classical study on cranial suture closing. Todd and Lyon (1924-25) expressed their belief that suture closure proceeds according to some periodic pattern. Spectral analysis applied to their data corroborates the opinion of Todd and Lyon. Closure of the cranial sutures in humans is pervaded by a circaseptennian periodicity. Pulses of accelerated closure occur at intervals of about 7 years, and are separated by periods of relative quiescence.
