Twelve patients (6 men and 6 women), ages 21–79 years, who, as far as it could be determined from their case histories, began to stutter for the first time in adulthood were classified by examining physicians and speech-language pathologists as having psychogenic stuttering. The case histories of these patients were examined to determine the details of their speech and allied complaints, the course and duration of stuttering, and if any psychologically stressful events surrounded the onset and development of the disorder. Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) data on 10 of the 12 patients were analyzed independently. The main findings were (a) stuttering was the chief complaint of 11 patients; (b) all 12 patients had additional neurologic-like complaints that turned out to be nonorganic; (c) duration of stuttering from onset to examination ranged from 4 hr to 1.5 years; (d) the stuttering of most patients was variable in severity and returned to normal either spontaneously or as a result of speech therapy or psychotherapy; (e) psychologic stress was associated with the onset in 10 patients: the stress was chronic in 4 patients and acute in 6; (t) MMPI profiles of 9 of 1O patients were abnormal, with four profiles reflective of a conversion reaction; (g) differentiating neurologic from psychogenic stuttering and the need for interdisciplinary collaboration were essential in all 12 cases; and (h) speech therapy and psychotherapy are justified when psychogenic stuttering is diagnosed.

In this article, the framework and architecture of a Subsurface Camera (SAMERA) are envisioned and described for the first time. A SAMERA is a geophysical sensor network that senses and processes geophysical sensor signals and computes a 3D subsurface image in situ in real time. The basic mechanism is geophysical waves propagating/reflected/refracted through subsurface enter a network of geophysical sensors, where a 2D or 3D image is computed and recorded; control software may be connected to this network to allow view of the 2D/3D image and adjustment of settings such as resolution, filter, regularization, and other algorithm parameters. System prototypes based on seismic imaging have been designed. SAMERA technology is envisioned as a game changer to transform many subsurface survey and monitoring applications, including oil/gas exploration and production, subsurface infrastructures and homeland security, wastewater and CO2 sequestration, and earthquake and volcano hazard monitoring. System prototypes for seismic imaging have been built. Creating SAMERA requires interdisciplinary collaboration and the transformation of sensor networks, signal processing, distributed computing, and geophysical imaging.

On the basis of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, and later the MMPI-2, E, I. Megargee and colleagues empirically developed a classification system to enhance management and treatment of offenders throughout the criminal justice system. This preliminary study extended the application of the MMPI-2 based system for the first time to a non-U.S. prison sample and classified the MMPI-2 profiles of 1,636 male inmates from Belgian federal prisons. The typology was capable of classifying most of the subjects and all 10 Megargee types were represented. Compared to American prevalence data, types Delta and Charlie were overrepresented and type George was underrepresented. Issues that warrant further investigation are discussed.

Normotensive Pregnancy

Two case histories are described with conflicting implications for the etiopathogenesis of pre-eclampsia. In both, typical proteinuric pre-eclampsia developed despite a history of previous normotensive pregnancy. In the first case, the disease was associated with a change of husband, consistent with the view that pre-eclampsia arises from an inadequate maternal immune response to paternal antigens inherited by the fetus. The second case, however, concerned a woman who developed pre-eclampsia for the first time in her third pregnancy by the same reproductive partner. We conclude that either more than one underlying cause can result in the clinical syndrome of pre-eclampsia, or that pre-eclampsia is caused by an environmental factor. The possibility that pre-eclampsia may be initiated by an infectious agent is briefly explored in the light of the clinical histories described and well-established epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data.

AbstractThe study reviewed the case histories of 14 young aphonies. A questionnaire was completed by the five speech therapists involved with these cases. The patients were all initially examined by E.N.T. specialists and then treated by speech therapy. All the patients were ‘cured’ by speech therapy, that is the voice returned to its premorbid state. This study looks at common characteristics of presentation, different approaches to management, and the patterns of voice return.

First Time

The publication of DSM-III introduced the diagnosis Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), thus providing, for the first time, a framework for studying the consequences of extremely stressful events. Previously, traumatic neuroses had attracted a wide variety of labels – as wide as the experiences that produced them. Competing explanations in psychological and biological terms have characterised the approach to these disorders, and social and legal issues have added to the confusion. In recent years, psychosocial issues have tended to dominate the literature in relation to PTSD. While acknowledging the importance of such phenomenological and psychosocial approaches, this paper seeks to redress the balance by focusing on a biological perspective.

Abstract In 1921, at the age of 65, 6 years after completing the final edition of his textbook, 22 years after first proposing the concept of dementia praecox (DP), and 1 year before retiring from clinical work, Emil Kraepelin completed the last edition of his “Introduction to Clinical Psychiatry,” which contained a mini-textbook for students, 10 pages of which were devoted to DP. This work also included a series of new detailed case histories, 3 of which examined DP. This neglected text represents a distillation of what Kraepelin judged, near the end of his long career, to be the essential features of DP. The relevant text and case histories are translated into English for the first time. Kraepelin did not define DP solely by its chronic course and poor prognosis, acknowledging that remissions and even full recovery might be possible. His clinical description emphasized the frequency of bizarre delusions and passivity symptoms. He recognized the heterogeneity of the clinical presentations, outlining 6 subtypes of DP, including dementia simplex, depressive and stuporous dementia, and an agitated and circular DP. Kraepelin’s original concept of DP was not impervious to change and expanded somewhat, especially with the inclusion of Diem’s concept of simple DP. He also reviews several contributions of Bleuler, including his concept “latent schizophrenia.” He writes poignantly of the psychological consequences of DP. His 3 DP cases, for advanced students, included simple DP, “periodic catatonic,” and “speech confusion.”

Human Implantation

For the first time, an injectable bone substitute (IBS) made of a suspension of Calcium phosphate ceramic was used in a clinical trial in human after extraction of non conservable tooth (36 or 46). 11 patients did agree for implantation of their sockets with the biomaterial. It was an explorative study and the results showed no pain due to the biomaterial implantation, no infection, no inflammation and perfect biocompatibility. The safety and the bioactivity of this concept of biomaterial were confirmed in human implantation after several animals’ pre-clinical studies.

Adaptive Reactions

The aim of this study was to establish types of psychological reactions and conditions in patients with lower-extremity amputations. Apart from using psychological interviews, detection was performed using psychometric tests: Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory. Psychometric parameters were analyzed in a group of 20 examinees treated at the Medical Rehabilitation Clinic in Novi Sad. Out of the whole sample. 45% of patients presented with adaptive reactions to amputation and consequent disability, whereas 55% presented with maladaptive responses. The registered psychopathological symptoms included nosologic categories: reaction to stressful events and adjustment disorder (predominantly affecting other emotions: mixed disorder of conduct and emotions: prolonged depressive reaction) and dysthymia. When working with lower-extremity amputees, apart from adaptive, nonpathological forms of behavior, one also encounters maladaptive responses with predomination of mood disorders due to severe somatic stress. .
