Dr. A. Ertugrul has recently drawn attention in this journal to a new electrocardiographic observation in infants and children with hypothyroidism. This new electrocardiographic feature, emphasized by Dr. Ertugrul is the disappearance of the S-T segment and the dome-shape of the T waves. Accordingly, the relationship of these observed changes with the serum calcium level must be investigated; actually in hypercalcemia the electrocardiogram commonly reveals the absence of the S-T segment, dome-shaped T waves with shortening of the Q-T interval.

Thirty-four outborn premature infants of appropriate gestational ages with birth weights less than 1,750 g were seen in follow-up at 3, 6, 12, and 18 months, corrected age to assess the incidence of abnormalities of muscle tone and the relationship of the site of early abnormalities to 18-month developmental status. The incidence of abnormal tone was most common at 3 months and declined with increasing age. The percentages of infants with abnormal tone at 3, 6, 12, and 18 months, respectively, were: increased lower extremity tone—62%, 71%, 38%, 9%; decreased lower extremity tone—3%, 3%, 6%, 9%; increased truncal tone—41%, 15%, 6%, 0%; decreased truncal tone—21%, 18%, 15%, 6%. Infants with truncal hypertonicity at 3 months had significantly lower Bayley motor and mental scores at 18 months when compared with infants with normal truncal tone (P < .05). However, infants with lower extremity hypertonicity at 3 months were no different developmentally at 18 months from infants with normal tone. Infants with truncal or lower extremity hypotonicity fared the worst developmentally (P < .05). We conclude that there is a high incidence of abnormal muscle tone in premature infants up to 18 months of age and that early truncal tone abnormalities are associated with a worse developmental outcome.

An increased incidence of childhood physical and sexual abuse has previously been demonstrated in patients with multiple personalities. This disorder in women is also associated with an increased incidence of forcible rape during adolescence and adulthood by strangers or acquaintances. In a series of 17 women with multiple personality, 6 had been raped. A control group of non-dissociative disorder patients matched for age and sex yielded no instances of forcible rape. This high incidence of rape is thought to be related to the masochistic character traits which are common in multiple personality. The relationship of multiple personality and rape to post-traumatic stress disorder is explored. Treatment in group and individual therapy in which education and prevention were emphasized is described.

A number of studies have demonstrated a high incidence of sleep disturbances in patients with stroke. The paper reviews the variants of wakefulness disorders observed in ischemic stroke, taking into account the current terminology, as well as methods for their diagnosis. Currently, the origin of post-stroke hypersomnolence and its pathophysiology remain debatable. Various mechanisms including orexin ligand deficiency, degeneration of orexin neurons, as well as disruption of the links between the histaminergic and orexinergic systems are considered as links in the pathogenesis of hypersomnolence caused by ischemic stroke. The paper discusses the pathophysiology of hypersomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with ischemic stroke, demonstrates various points of view on the relationship of these pathological phenomena with ischemic stroke. A hypothesis on the compensatory nature of hypersomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness in acute ischemic stroke and their possible neuroprotective effect on the brain in patients with stroke is presented.
