In a prospective study of the 295 admissions in one year to an acute psychiatric ward, 14 subjects without delirium or dementia were found to have developed temporary urinary incontinence. When compared with matched controls (n = 56) the incontinent patients were found to be suffering from psychosis (P < 0.0002) and to have a history of childhood enuresis (P < 0.01). Compared with psychotic controls (n = 22), the incontinent patients were older (P < 0.05), they had been exposed to a greater variety of treatments (P < 0.01), and they had received more thioridazine (P < 0.04).

AbstractGold eyelid implantation is widely considered the procedure of choice to reanimate the upper eyelid in paralytic lagophthalmos. Commercially supplied implants are not readily available in all places and are sometimes cumbersome to import.Objective:We aimed to devise a method whereby every surgeon performing gold eyelid implantation could have easy and quick access to the implant. Furthermore, we aimed to develop a means of creating an implant of the exact weight required for complete eyelid closure.Study design and setting:A prospective study was performed from 1997 to 2005 in a tertiary research hospital, involving 50 subjects requiring gold upper eyelid implantation and using the technique in question.Results:Only patients with a minimum follow up of one year were included in the study group. Symptoms improved in 96 per cent of subjects, who were able to dispense with eyedrops and eye ointments. Visual acuity improved in 92 per cent of patients. There were two extrusions amongst the early cases.Conclusion and significance:Customised gold eyelid implantation offers an alternative in regions where commercial implants are not easily obtained.
