Apert syndrome variant with overlapping features of Crouzon syndrome.

A rare variant of Apert syndrome having overlapping features of Crouzon syndrome is described. The salient features of the two syndromes are briefly discussed and overlapping features are highlighted. A possible genetic explanation for the same is mentioned.

Preliminary findings on skin conductance measures in schizophrenics & normal individuals in India.

Skin conductance measures were investigated during response paradigms, in 18 non medicated schizophrenics and 22 normal individuals. Basal, tonic and phasic skin conductance indices were studied in four experimental series consisting of auditory and visual stimuli differing in signal status. No differences were seen in skin conductance basal levels, tonic levels, phasic response or in the incidence of nonresponse in schizophrenics as compared to normal individuals.
