[Experimental studies in animals on the question of liver damage following halothane anaesthesia and hypoxia (author's transl)].

The influence of single or multiple halothane anaesthetics on the liver enzyme pattern was investigated utilizing 270 female rats. The additional stress of hypoxia (12 percent inspired oxygen) did not result in quantitative or qualitative differences as compared to the normoxic groupmmultiple halothane anaesthetics caused reversible enzyme changes in the serum as well as in the liver homogenate.

Dreams and dementia: a laboratory exploration of dream recall and dream content in chronic brain syndrome patients.

Seventeen (seven mild and ten severe) chronic brain syndrome patients were testes in the sleep laboratory for dream recall and content. The mildly organic patients had 57 per cent recall while the severely organic patients had 35 per cent recall. We also studied four aged severely organic patients. These patients showed a recall rate of 8 per cent. The difference between the recall rates in mildly and severely organic middle-aged patients was not statistically significant. The difference between the recall rates of the aged severely organic patients and either or both of the middle-aged groups was statistically significant (p smaller than .001). In addition, we found dream content differences between the mildly and severely organic middle-aged groups and between the combined group and normal young men.

Some perspectives on the role of biostatistics and epidemiology in the prevention and control of mental disorders.

The paper reviews progress made in the past 30 years in the development of statistical and epidemiological methods in the mental health field. Applications have included determinations of need for psychiatric care and supporting personnel; interpretation of morbidity indices, and cross-national comparisons of diagnoses of mental disorders. Much remains to be done. Progress would include better measurement of incidence, duration, and prevalence of mental disorders; more precise estimates of service needs; more effective programs to prevent or reduce disability. Particularly needed are field-research units under long-term funding with the task of assessing effectiveness of mental health programs at the catchment-area level.
