Additional deaths associated with the intentional inhalation of typewriter correction fluid.

The previously published literature contains at least 27 deaths associated with the intentional concentration and inhalation of typewriter correction fluid (TCF). The solvent systems of TCF products include volatile halogenated hydrocarbons such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane and trichloroethylene. This report describes 3 additional deaths resulting from TCF abuse, including 1 case in which the addition of mustard oil to the product failed to deter abuse.

Environmental and typewriter control systems for high-level quadriplegic patients: evaluation and prescription.

A formal 44-month clinical evaluation was conducted to determine the suitability of selected electronic equipment for use in high-level quadriplegia. A total of 52 traumatic high-level quadriplegic patients (C-2 to C-5,6) participated in the testing of 13 commercial electronic assistive devices including 8 environmental control units, 1 self-contained telephone, and 4 typewriter systems. Most devices were pneumatically ("breath") controlled. Devices were tested in an occupational therapy laboratory, bedside, and homes. Testing yielded data on device reliability, suitability, and acceptance by patients.

Neuropsychological analysis of a typewriting disturbance following cerebral damage.

Following a left CVA, a skilled professional typist sustained a disturbance of typing disproportionate to her handwriting disturbance. Typing errors were predominantly of the sequencing type, with spatial errors much less frequent, suggesting that the impairment was based on a relatively early (premotor) stage of processing. Depriving the subject of visual feedback during handwriting greatly increased her error rate. Similarly, interfering with auditory feedback during speech substantially reduced her self-correction of speech errors. These findings suggested that impaired ability to utilize somesthetic information--probably caused by the subject's parietal lobe lesion--may have been the basis of the typing disorder.
