The Capgras symptom and nondominant cerebral dysfunction.

Although the etiology of the Capgras symptom is still unknown, recent reports strongly support the role of organic factors. The authors present the case of a psychotic woman with Capgras symptoms who showed evidence of nondominant cerebral dysfunction, documented by neuropsychologic testing and electrophysiologic procedures. This observation lends credibility to the role of organic factors in the development of the Capgras phenomenon.

Echographic and radionuclide detection of hepatoma.

The clinical, echographic, radionuclide and CT studies of 19 patients with tissue-proved hepatoma were reviewed retrospectively. All patients had undergone ultrasound examination while 18 also had 99mTc-sulfur colloid studies, and 11 had gallium scans. Ultrasonically, the lesions were classified as discrete, sonodense (six cases), discrete sonolucent (five cases), disorganized hepatic parenchyma (six cases), and normal parenchyma (two cases). All sulfur colloid studies showed areas of decreased uptake, while all gallium scans showed relative increased uptake in the area of decreased sulfur colloid activity. It was concluded that radionuclide imaging is more accurate than ultrasound in the diagnosis of hepatome.

A comparison of the association of yeast phosphoglycerate mutase (EC2.7.5.3) with that of haemoglobin. An ultracentrifuge study.

1. Previous work showed that yeast phosphoglycerate mutase (EC 2.7.5.3) has a mol.wt. of between 107000 and 110000. Preliminary examination showed that at dilutions less than 0.1 g/1 the enzyme dissociated into its subunits. 2. This dissociation was quantitatively examined by both equilibrium and velocity centrifugation. 3. The mathematical analysis of the equilibrium records was tested against oxyhaemoglobin in a variety of ionic strengths and at two temperatures. 4. The estimated L2,4 (interaction coefficient) for oxyhaemoglobin generally agreed with published values except at 6 degrees C in 0.9 M-NaCl, when it was 2.5 times larger than the published value. 5. Statistical analysis of ultracentrifugal-equilibrium experiments showed that the predominant reaction for phosphoglycerate mutase was monomer in equilibrium tetramer, to give an L1,4 of 40.3+/-23.4 (S.D.)1(3)-g(-3) at 20 degrees C. Decreasing the temperature decreased the association to given an enthalpy of between 40 and 60kJ/mol. 6. Analysis of velocity experiments carried out with concentrations varying from 0.3 to 17 g/1 gave an L1,4 of 3111(3)-g(-3). Incorporating errors from estimating S20,w into the analysis showed that this estimate could range from 893 to 1421(3)-g(-3). 7. The concentration-dependence of S20,w was 0.95 litre-g-1 and s020,w for the tetramer was 66.9ps. 8. These results are discussed in relation to the activity of the enzyme.

Auditory hallucinations, posttraumatic stress disorder, and ethnicity.

The occurrence of intrusive auditory perceptions has rarely been addressed in the study of posttraumatic stress disorder. This study examined the background of 59 individuals with combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder. Subjects with and without auditory hallucinations were compared on demographic military and symptom variables. The occurrence of hallucinations among veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder appears to be more frequent among subjects of Hispanic ethnicity. This may have been related to higher combat exposure or social stresses. The occurrence of hallucinations was unrelated to drug abuse and did not appear to be associated with any particular war.
