Treatment of sleepwalking: a controlled study.

A single-blind, rater-blind, modified crossover design was used to evaluate a simple, practical method of clinical treatment of sleepwalking. Subjects who had severe somnambulism, but were otherwise free of psychiatric illness, responded well to six brief sessions of specialized hypnotherapy. Follow-up at one year has revealed lasting improvement of both subjective and objective symptoms. A brief review of the subject of sleepwalking, as well as detailed information concerning histories of sleep symptoms and emotional problems in these and other sleepwalkers, is presented.

A review of psychotropic medications and the glaucomas.

Four general groups of psychotropic drugs are examined with respect to possible adverse effects upon intraocular pressure. After a brief discussion of the various mechanisms of the glaucomas, both general and specific information is provided and discussed concerning antipsychotic, antidepressant, antiparkinsonian and antianxiety preparations of a variety of chemical structures and utilities. The consensus of the authors is that with certain basic safeguards virtually all of the medications studied are acceptably safe to prescribe even in patients with diagnosed glaucoma.

Treatment of portwine stains using the pulsed dye laser.

Five years of clinical experience of the treatment of portwine stains using the flashlamp-pumped dye laser is presented. The dye laser, when turned to a wavelength of 577 nanometres with a short pulsewidth of the order of 340 microseconds, may be used to target selectively the dilated vasculature constituting the lesion. Patients with ages ranging from 5-45 years were treated under general anaesthetic using a computer controlled scanning system developed by the authors. Several repeat treatments were found to be necessary. Results are presented ranging from total eradication of the lesion to marginal lightening only. No scarring of the treated sites was evident.
