The adrenocortical secretion in schizophrenics during chlorpromazine treatment.

33 cases of schizophrenia received normal food and no premedication. After a clinical improvement which showed itself 3--6 weeks after the beginning of the chlorpromazine treatment, the 17-ketosteroids, the 17-ketogenic steroids and also the electrolytes were dertermined in the blood serum, the erythrocytes and the urine. 12 schizophrenics each received 25 mg of ACTH for three days puring the maximum chlorpromazine dosage. The separate results of examination were tabulated. The final results showed a restriction in the steroid synthesis, an increase in the excretion of potassium through the kidneys along with a decrease in the excretion of sodium. There was an appreciable drop in the sodium potassium concentration in the erythrocytes. It can be assumed that there is a connection between the variations in the membrane permeability to electrolytes and pharmacogenic dyskinesia.

CT appearance of bilateral, acute thrombosis of the main cerebral arteries.

Acute thrombosis within the lumen of the intracranial artery may occasionally be demonstrated on precontrast CT. The hyperdensity follows the course of the occluded segment of the vessel and an area of low attenuation in the territory of the involved artery is usually present, consistent with infarction. Usually, a single vessel is involved; occlusion of multiple branches occurs less commonly. This report demonstrates a case of diffuse bilateral thrombosis of the main arteries of the anterior circle of Willis.
