Experimental streptococcal endocarditis. The early vegetation.
Aortic valve vegetation were studied in rabbits before and after intravenous injection of streptococcus mitis. Uninfected vegetation sections revealed compact eosinophilic masses with smooth-appearing edges and scattered polymorphonuclear leukocytes inside and on the surface. Scanning electron microscopic views demonstrated erythrocytes, small leukocytes, and platelets; the surface was markedly irregular. Fifteen minutes after injection of 10(10) streptococci, large mononuclear cells and polymorphonuclear leukocytes lined the vegetation edge; scanning electron microscopy showed large and small leukocytes. One and six hours after infection, there were more polymorphonuclear leukocytes inside the vegetation but few superficially. Bacteria were first seen at six hours as microcolonies inside the vegetation. Twenty-four-hour sections showed large bacterial colonies inside with few bacteria at the edges. Despite the smooth appearance of the vegetation edges, all electron microscopic views revealed very rough surfaces.

Incidence and correlates of depersonalization following head trauma.
Using the criteria of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R Dissociative Disorders (SCID-D), we assessed the incidence of feelings of unreality among a sample of 70 persons who had sustained head injuries. Among those whose head trauma could be classified as mild, more than 60% complained of a depersonalization syndrome. Among those with a significant period of unconsciousness, only 11% had similar complaints. There was a high comorbidity with post-traumatic stress disorder and vertigo. Feelings of unreality were not associated with cognitive impairment or elevated personality test scores, nor were there significant relationships with gender or involvement in litigation. A conservative estimate of incidence of depersonalization among persons with minor head trauma is 13%, while, at the upper end, as many as 67% of persons who sustain mild head injury may experience feelings of unreality.
