Cerebral metabolic dysfunction in AIDS: findings in a sample with and without dementia.

Positron-emission tomography was coupled with neurological and neuropsychological evaluation to study regional cerebral activity and neurologic status in two groups. Seventeen patients with full-blown AIDS and 14 seronegative control subjects were studied using [18F]2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose in a resting state. The AIDS group had relative regional hypermetabolism in the basal ganglia and thalamus; stepwise multiple-regression analyses revealed a significant relationship for the AIDS group between temporal lobe metabolism and severity of dementia on the AIDS Dementia Complex Rating Scale. These results suggest that the basal ganglia, thalamus, and temporal lobes are differentially affected in AIDS.

Current trends in suicidal behavior in the United States.

Suicidal behavior in the United States from 1900 to 1975 is reviewed. The data presented cover demographic variables such as: age, sex, color, and geographic area. While the overall suicide rate continues to increase, the most striking upturn can be seen in both sexes between the ages of 15 to 25 years. The need for a wide range of innovative approaches and increased research is manifest.
