The cramps ceased when the radiculitis became worse; they returned when the symptoms of radiculitis improved. An increase in the blood uric acid and a slight degree of radiculitis evidently were of great importance in producing painful spasms. On the other hand, metabolic changes resulting from diabetes were of no importance in the production of cramp. The spasms were diminished by a meatless diet and by decreasing the amount of uric acid in the body. The patient usually felt better in the spring and still more so in the summer than during the winter. By electrical examination the so-called myospastic reaction was demonstrated. The signs of the reaction were as follows: With a prolonged faradic current cramp in the abdominal muscles arose; this never resulted from a galvanic current. In the lower limbs irritability to galvanism was diminished for direct as well as indirect excitation but to faradism the excitability was normal in the lower limbs for direct as well as indirect excitation. The quality of the contraction was everywhere normal. AI; PROGNOSIS AND TREATMENT [117] Treatment of epilepsy with antirabic vaccine (Behandlung der Epilepsie mit antirabischen Vakzinen).-M. NIKOLIC. Munch. med. Woch., 1935, 82, 1493. A MAN, age 48, had suffered from typical idiopathic epilepsy for 38 years. For the last two years one or two epileptic fits had occurred daily. He was bitten by a dog suspected of suffering from rabies. The patient received an injection of antirabic Markvaccine Type B (Hempt) for two days and of Hirnvaccine Type A on each of the following six days. He had no fits and was well and healthy when seen three months after the first injection. It would be of interest to know if other cases of genuine epilepsy can be relieved in the same manner. M.

This somatic syndrome is composed of intense vasoconstriction of the skin (paresthesias, sensation of cold, pallor), tachycardia up to 150, inhibition of salivation, cold sweating, mydriasis, arterial hypertonus up to 150 mm. (of mercury), and relaxation of the voluntary muscle system. This indicates a stormy excitation of the sympathetic system, which may be combined at the end with parasympathetic phenomena. It was found that this syndrome could be removed by choline preparations, which by their stimulating effect on the parasympathetic nerve produced an effect exactly the opposite to the anxiety syndrome: by an intramuscular injection of 0-1 c.cm. acetylcholine the anxiety attack can be stopped also in its psychical effects, and even chronic anxiety attacks can disappear after a few days by oral administration of the choline preparations pacyl or hypotan. We can therefore suppose that the fear of an anxiety neurosis arises primarily in a somatic way. The vasoconstriction here plays an important part, and the character of the anxiety syndrome corresponding to the adrenaline effect may be traced back to a primary action of the adrenal glands. Since some sexual damage is found, such as the inhibition of normal relief, and since the anxiety could be removed both by the prevention of this and by choline preparations, this confirms Freud's theory of the damming up of libido, and Reich's theory of the origin of anxiety in a sympathetic-toxic action of the sexual hormone. The somatic genesis of neurotic anxiety can be designed in the following way. There is always a disturbance of the course of sexual irritation to be found. This results either from sexual abstinence caused by external or neurotic reasons, or from neurotic sexual hypaesthesia while relatively great libido is present, and leads, with a' certain sympatheticotonic disposition, to a strong excitation of the sympathetic system. At this point the mechanism can be interrupted by choline medication. According to the working through of the state of sympathetic excitation there results either the syndrome phrenocardia, or, with corresponding psychic preparedness, the anxiety neurosis. If this continues for some time it can become fixated and psychically worked through so that anxiety can then also arise from the psyche. The somatic neurosis only lasts for a certain time and then becomes built over in a psychoneurotic manner so that then it may only be treated by a longcontinued psychotherapy.","PeriodicalId":50117,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurology and Psychopathology","volume":"s1-16 1","pages":"167 - 169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1935-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1136/jnnp.s1-16.62.167","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63913410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By Dr. L. Marchand and Dr. A. Courtois. With a Preface by Dr. E. Toulouse, and 31 microphotographic illustrations. Paris: Librairie E. Le Frangois. 1935. Pp. 144. Price 25 fr. BY the term 'psychotic encephalitis' is meant an inflammation of the brain that reveals itself solely by mental symptoms. These generally take the form of acute confusion, delirium, hallucinosis, and other features of a toxic psychosis; neurological symptoms are lacking. Pathologically, the lesions are partly degenerative, partly inflammatory; they are in no way specific, yet they are quite definite. There is no perivascular demyelination, and little glial reaction. The mesoderm, however, reacts, while the parenchyma is damaged. On the clinical side the authors draw particular attention to the blood urea, which in acute cases always rises and is regarded by them as constant and characteristic-so much so that they use the term ' encephalite psychosique aigue azotemique.' Subacute and chronic cases are also known; their syndromes can be schizoid, paranoid, manic-depressive, hebephrenocatatonic, etc. The authors rely on pathological anatomy to show the foundation of the symptoms, but since they admit causation is multiple it is evident that any correlation of syndromes and lesions is impossible; the various mental symptoms they describe as occurring in subacute and chronic cases can also develop in cases where the lesions specified are not found. They have done well, however, in directing attention to the fact that some forms of encephalitis are accompanied by symptoms of the psychical series alone. The explanation of this interesting peculiarity is still obscure.","PeriodicalId":50117,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Neurology and Psychopathology","volume":"s1-16 1","pages":"185 - 192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1935-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1136/jnnp.s1-16.62.185","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63913550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
