The new long-term patient in the public mental hospital: a follow-up.
Of the 270 patients who had been hospitalized at least 1 year in Maryland public psychiatric facilities in 1976, 15% remained 7 years later. The authors' data provide evidence that a new long-term population is not accumulating in Maryland.

The new long-term patient in the public mental hospital.
The authors examine the development and characteristics of a "new" long-term population in the public mental health system in Maryland. The findings do not substantiate concern over a large increase in the number of chronic patients in state hospitals in the next several years.

Influence of enucleation upon two-way avoidance behavior of rats, hamsters, chinchillas and BALB/cJ mice.
Several rodent species were blinded and their two-way avoidance behavior was compared to unoperated controls. Blindness facilitated avoidance learning in BALB/cJ mice, impaired learning in hamsters and had no significant effect on albino rats, hooded rats and chinchillas. Effects of blindness upon intertrial locomotor activity correlated well with effects of blindness upon avoidance learning. Preventing intertrial activity abolished the effect of blindness in mice, and did not change performance of blind albino rats.
