Brief Reports

  • A Psychophysical Method for Assessing Visual and Acoustic Hyperesthesia in Patients with Mild Head Injury

  • N. Bohnen, A. Twijnstra, J. Kroeze, J. Jolles
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    02 January 2018, pp. 860-863

  • Although it is well known that patients with mild head injury (MHI) are less able to endure intense light and sound stimuli than normal people, there are few psychophysical studies that have objectively measured this type of hyperaesthesia. In the present study, using a computerised rating scale technique, both the maximal and submaximal levels of reduced tolerance to light and sound were assessed for a wide range of stimuli. Three to six days after the trauma, 40 MHI patients were significantly less tolerant to stimuli of intensities over 71 dB and 500 lux levels than controls. These intensities are common, and MHI patients may suffer as a consequence.

Brief Reports

  • Seasonal Affective Disorder in Adolescence

  • Christopher Paul Lucas
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    02 January 2018, pp. 863-865

  • Two adolescent girls with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) are described. It is suggested that the classic symptom profile seen in adults is not characteristic in younger subjects. Although hypersomnia is prominent, increased appetite and carbohydrate craving are rarely reported. Local meteorological data link the course of the disorder in one case to the hours of sunshine and ambient temperature during the winter months.
