A meta-analysis of Halstead-Reitan test performances of non-brain damaged subjects.

Eighteen studies reporting Halstead-Reitan (HR) Neuropsychological Battery test performances for over 1000 non-brain damaged subjects were reviewed. Substantial empirical normative data is available only for a group of middle-aged adults characterized by relatively high intelligence and education. Serious methodological flaws in Halstead's original work, changes in the administration of HR Battery over the years, as well as variations in subsequent normative data suggest the traditional Halstead cutting scores are inappropriate. Norms for a composite "meta-sample" were reported. Noting that the HR test scores are valid concommitants of neuropsychological dysfunction, specific areas needing empirical elucidation are outlined.

Are the rhythm tests of the Halstead-Reitan and Luria-Nebraska batteries differentially sensitive to right temporal lobe lesions?

Contemporary manuals on neuropsychological assessment advocate the interpretation of deficits in rhythm test performance as related to right temporal lobe dysfunction. There have been very few empirical tests of this interpretation. Despite the fact that there are theoretical reasons to suspect that the right temporal lobe is involved in the processing of nonverbal auditory information, there are absolutely no concurrent validity data that support this hypothesized relationship for either of the rhythm tests of the Halstead-Reitan or Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Batteries. Therefore, clinicians are cautioned with regard to this popular interpretation of rhythm test performance deficits.

[An investigation into the problem of streaming in the femoral artery by means of high speed serial angiography and synchronous pulse recording (author's transl)].

A method is described which allows one to correlate pulsephase dependant streaming and movement of the vessel wall by means of synchronous registration of pulse volume curves and the appearance of streaming as shown by serial angiograms. The results of this investigation in the femoral artery confirm the accepted view that the appearance of streaming depends on the movements of the vessel wall. The prognostic value for vessel reconstruction is discussed.
