Abstract

This study compared the manifest dream content of 20 schizophrenic adolescent inpatients whose medications were stable for at least four weeks, 21 adolescent inpatients with other mental disorders (nonschizophrenic group) matched for age and gender, and 31 matched community controls. All participants were administered the standardized Formal Dream Content Rating Scale (FDCRS), which evaluates dream-related anxiety, cognitive disturbance, implausibility, involvement, primitivity, and recall, as well as two additional scales measuring emotional expression and duration of dream report. The Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS) was administered to the two inpatient groups. The community controls demonstrated more involvement and emotional expression than the schizophrenic patients; furthermore, they demonstrated more implausibility and had a greater duration of dream report compared with the nonschizophrenic group. In the schizophrenic patients only, elevated scores on the negative subscale of the PANSS were significantly correlated with lower scores on involvement, emotional expression, and dream recall. No relationship was found between the positive subscale of the PANSS and any of the FDCRS subscales. These results suggest that psychopathology per se, rather than the specific psychiatric disturbance, may be associated with impoverishment of dream content, and that negative, rather than positive, schizophrenic symptomatology may be influential in the dream content of schizophrenic youngsters., Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic literature has identified various functions of dream content. Freud (1958) claimed that dreams serve as a medium for the discharge of conflict and impulses in a more [...]

Abstract

The possible relationship between body weight, food preferences, and plasma neurotransmitters was investigated in 96 healthy volunteers. The volunteers were divided into groups according to sex, body mass index, and food preferences. In all groups fasting platelet-poor plasma (PPP) norepinephrine and serotonin (5-HT) were examined. PPP-5-HT was low in obese individuals (x [bar] [+ or -] SD: 51.7 [+ or -] 34.6 nmol/L) in comparison with lean individuals (94.31 [+ or -] 85.2 nmol/L; P < 0.01), in lean male carbohydrate cravers (22.7 [+ or -] 16.4 nmol/L) in comparison with protein cravers (132.9 [+ or -] 80.6 nmol/L; P < 0.005) and noncravers (64.7 [+ or -] 51.7 nmol/L; P < 0.05), and in obese male carbohydrate cravers (34 [+ or -] 22.7 nmol/L) in comparison with obese male protein cravers (98.8 [+ or -] 28.4 nmol/L; P < 0.001). In conclusion, PPP-5-HT might be seen as a peripheral indicator of processes linked with food consumption and food preferences. Am J Clint Nutr 1993;57:486-9.

Abstract

Objective: Variations in month of birth were examined in patients with infantile autism to test the hypothesis that birth in a particular month may be a risk factor for this disorder. Method: Data for autistic patients registered with the National League for Autism in Israel (N=188) during the years 1964-1986 were compared with data on monthly distribution of live births in Israel for the corresponding period. Results: After risk ratio estimates were computed for children born with infantile autism for each month, a significant increase was observed for children born in March and August. This association was true for each year throughout the study. An additional finding was a significantly higher rate of birth of autistic children in the years 1970-1976. Conclusions: This study, although made in a different climatic area than three earlier studies, further emphasizes the earlier findings that March and August births are a risk factor for development of autistic disorder.
