The authors describe a suggested scale for quantitative evaluation of the clinical condition of patients with acute ischaemic-hypoxaemic hemispheric syndrome supporting the objective value of the scale with the results of arteriographic investigations done in 340 patients. An advantage of the proposed scale is seen by the authors in its simplicity which makes possible its use by physicians from various specialties and opens the possibility of objective comparison of the therapeutic results.

[Attempt at the classification of chronic and recurrent headaches].

The authors describe a proposal of classification of chronic and recurrent headaches based on criteria different from those used as yet. The initial criterion of headache classification was its extent and location: 1) diffuse, 2) partial, 3) posterior, b) anterior, 3)localized. Another element is: 1) unequivical or 2) non-unequivical clinical pattern. Definite clinical entities, probable aetiological factors, or possible pathological mechanisms are referred to definite extent and localization, and unequivocal or non-unequivocal clinical patterns.
