[Authors conducted therapy trials with low doses of Elysione in 50 depressed male patients. They observed a reaction to Elysione in nearly 500 cases. 3 mg induced well-appreciated euphoria, 4-10 mg induced psychotomimetic, neurological and vegetative symptoms. Cure courses (one injection per day for 7, 10 and 14 days) in depressed patients proved to be of therapeutic value. Before its practical use, a large number of trials should be carried out and side effects should be eliminated by modifying the chemical structure, and it should be possible to use it per os.]
[The authors investigated the propagation velocity of muscle action potentials in 53 normal individuals, 18 neurogenic lesions, 15 patients with myopathy and 2 patients with myasthenia. The muscle conduction velocity was assessed in the m. deltoideus, m. biceps brachii, m. flexor digiti V., m. tibialis anterior and m. quadriceps. Stimulation was performed with two needle electrodes in bipolar mode and recording with a concentric bipolar electrode. The muscle conduction velocity was 4.48 + 0.09 m/sec in the normal control group, 3.28 + 0.21 m/sec in neurogenic lesion and 3.07 + 0.18 m/sec in myopathy patients. The difference was highly significant in both groups (P < 0.001). The muscle conduction velocity within the neurogenic group was found to be the same in peripheral nerve lesion (3.29 = 0.33 m/sec) and anterior horn lesion (3.25 + 0.26 m/sec). In the neurogenic cases, we found a conduction velocity value below 3.5 m/sec in 68% of the clinically affected muscles. A conduction velocity below 3.5 m/sec was observed in 66.6% of myopathic patients. Conduction velocity values found in Duchenne-type dystrophia musculorum progressiva, dystrophya myotonic, thyrotoxic myopathy, myopathia tarda and polymyositis were significantly different from normal controls. In dystrophia musculorum progressiva in facioscapulo humeralis and limb girdle, the deviation from normal control was not significant. In myasthenia cases, muscle conduction velocity was normal (4.57 I 0.21 m/sec). The authors discuss the factors that may lead to a decrease in muscle conduction velocity in neurogenic and myogenic laesio. ]
[Authors report 3 operated and 2 autopsy cases of central nervous system epidermoid tumours. Two of their operated patients were lost, the third one is symptom and complaint free since surgery - 2 years ago. They also describe the views on the aetiology of epidermoid tumours, the macro- and micromorphology of these tumours, their clinical symptoms and the surgical treatment options. ]
[Authors investigating serum arginine levels in a mixed neuropsychiatric patient population found that the epileptic patient group had significantly lower levels compared to both normal controls and all other patients. No correlation was found between clinical presentation or pathogenetic factors and the development of arginine levels. A correlation between the nature of brain electrical activity and arginine levels, not statistically verifiable, seems to be observed. ]
[Based on our observation of 20 patients treated with Ospolot, we found that Ospolot is suitable for the treatment of psychomotor epilepsy. Because of its relatively frequent side effects, it should only be introduced in cases resistant to other therapies, initially in combination with other anticonvulsant drugs, under hospital observation. It should be tried in psychomotor seizures in which the EEG also indicates temporal focus. If focal convulsive activity on EEG is reduced or eliminated in response to medication, the clinical picture usually improves. ]
