[The india ink phagocytosis by monocytes and granulocytes during acute and chronic consumption coagulopathy].

During generalized intravascular coagulation (GIC) the polimerisation products of fibrinogen are phagocytized by the reticulo-endothelial system of the liver and spleen. Thus an inhibition of the clearance of RES could be detected in a progressed stage of the shock and GIC; this can also be represented by a decrease of India ink storage. In the present work the authors investigate the behavior of monocytes and granulocytes in the peripheral blood in GIC. Approximately 80% of cells will usually phagocytize and concentrate India ink granules, if heparinized blood mixed with India ink is incubated for two hours at 37 degrees C. A decrease of the India ink phagocytosis was detected in 6 patients and in 10 dogs during the shock. This observation corresponds to the behavior of hepatolienal RES during this condition.

Approaches to memory assessment in the chronic psychiatric elderly.

Approaches to memory assessment generally fall into two categories: a) Evaluation of the integrity of specific cognitive processes, and b) Quantitative measurement of performance levels on global dimensions of behavior. The California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) is an exemplar of both the process and global approaches, while the Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R) represents the global approach. Despite the popularity of both instruments little extant research, examining their convergent/divergent properties or their compatibility, exists. In the present study we replicated, on a mixed sample of normal and psychiatric elderly, a previous study's pattern of CVLT/WMS-R convergent and divergent findings. In addition, we found that both instruments are similar in their discrimination between normal and psychiatric elderly subjects.
