The thought translation device (TTD) for completely paralyzed patients.

The thought translation device trains locked-in patients to self-regulate slow cortical potentials (SCP's) of their electroencephalogram (EEG). After operant learning of SCP self-control, patients select letters, words or pictograms in a computerized language support program. Results of five respirated, locked-in-patients are described, demonstrating the usefulness of the thought translation device as an alternative communication channel in motivated totally paralyzed patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

[Variations in the waiting time for sterilization and sterilization rate in Norway].

A comparison of data from independent sources on numbers of sterilized women indicates that figures for sterilization in Norwegian hospitals are incomplete. More than 50% of the sterilized women are outpatients and nearly 50% of the inpatients are sterilized in connection with other treatment. Permanent geographical differences in sterilization rates are observed, as well as a large variation in the waiting time. We have been unable to verify a simple relation between sterilization rate and waiting time or length of waiting list.
