RESUMO

Delusional visitors to the White House or other government offices (often seeking a personal audience with the President) are interviewed by the Secret Service and then sent to Saint Elizabeths Hospital if they are considered mentally ill and potentially dangerous to themselves or others. A review of the demographic characteristics and diagnoses of 328 of these "White House Cases" treated at the hospital between 1970 and mid-1974 showed that these patients were most commonly unmarried, white, and male, and most had a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. Although 22% of this group have threatened some prominent political figure, to date none of this study's patients has attempted to assassinate any such government official.

RESUMO

Entamoeba histolytica causes amoebic diarrhoea, colitis and liver abscess (ALA). Diagnosis of ALA is difficult, as most patients do not have simultaneous intestinal amoebic infection. At Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM), diagnosis of ALA relies on a combination of clinical findings, ultrasound examination of the liver and serodiagnosis using a commercial kit. In this study, two in-house indirect ELISAs were developed and evaluated. One of the in-house assays utilises E. histolytica crude soluble antigen (CSA) to detect serum IgG specific to the parasite whereas the other uses E. histolytica ether extract antigen (EEA). Preparation of CSA requires a sonicator to lyse the amoeba whereas EEA was prepared by chemically solubilizing the trophozoites. Based on the cut-off value of mean optical density + 3SD, CSA-ELISA showed 100% (24/24) sensitivity and 93.33% (210/225) specificity; while EEA-ELISA showed 91.67% (22/24) sensitivity and 95.11% (214/225) specificity. In conclusion, both the in-house indirect ELISAs were found to be efficacious for diagnosis of ALA; and the EEA is easier to prepare than the commonly used CSA.

RESUMO

Se investiga la prevalencia de SAF en 7 Escuelas Especiales (E.E.) de la Provincia de Concepcion con 778 alumnos (69,2%) de un total de 1124. Averiguando antecedentes de alcoholismo materno, paterno y antecedentes personales de los escolares, examinandolos a todos. Se encontro que 80 alumnos (10,2%) presentaban SAF:30 completos y 50 parciales o EFA. En las escuelas en que predominaba el retardo mental educable la prevalencia del SAF era mayor, con promedio de 12%. Los SAF presentaban mayor dismorfogenesis y C.I. bajo a entrenables y los EFA mas alto y limitrofes. En los SAF las alteraciones neurologicos eran mas frecuentes especialmente incoordinacion motora y lenguaje alterado y en los EFA predominaba la hiperactividad. El 30% de las madres fallecio por cirrosis hepatica con edad promedio de 37,5 anos tambien el 24% de los padres. Se concluye que el SAF es la causa mas importante de retardo mental prevenible y de los problemas sociales de la infancia
