The Ward Daily Behaviour Scale.
BACKGROUND: The Ward Daily Behaviour Scale is a new rating instrument that can be used to measure all the daily noteworthy behaviour of patients of various ages and diagnoses on psychiatric wards. METHOD: The reliability and validity of the scale were tested on 40 patients. RESULTS: This instrument proved to be both reliable and valid for use on adult acute in-patient wards. CONCLUSIONS: The scale will be a valuable tool in a wide range of ward-based studies.

Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome of nonalcoholic origin.
We describe a patient who developed a severe loss of memory following intravenous feeding and intestinal surgery. The pattern of both anterograde and retrograde memory impairment and frontal pathology is shown to be comparable with that observed in patients with Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome of an alcoholic etiology. The data strengthen the view that the essential characteristics of the Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome are not dependent on a prior history of chronic alcoholism. Implications of these data for the interpretation of alcoholic Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome are considered.
