  • Crime in the Psychoses Complicating Pellagra

  • This paper deals with the relation between crime and the psychoses complicating pellagra, and is based on a study of the cases of accused persons suspected of being insane, and admitted to the Abbasia Mental Hospital for mental examination and report during eight years from 1941 to 1948 inclusive. This examination was, in the great majority of the cases, carried out by the writer who, in virtue of his official position, is the expert psychiatrist to the Office of the Procureur-General.

  • The Treatment of Depression by Dinitrile Succinate

  • A. Harris
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    08 February 2018, pp. 209-213

  • Caspersson, Hyden and Hartelius, in a series of researches at the Caroline Institute, Stockholm, found that (a) nerve cells subjected to heavy stimulation become depleted of nucleoprotein; (b) nitrile compounds administered to the experimental animal hasten regeneration of this nucleoprotein; (c) biopsy specimens of the prefrontal cortex of psychotics removed at leucotomy show a reduction of cellular protein when compared with healthy subjects killed in accidents; (d) nitrile compounds have a beneficial stimulating action in psychotics and sometimes a permanent curative effect. The substance which they used, malononitrile, was toxic, liable to produce severe reactions and only usable with safety if, after the injection, the patient was kept under observation and given sodium thiosulphate at the first sign of trouble. Meyer and Meyer (1949) have adversely criticized their methods and conclusions.
