ABSTRACT
The Stroke Data Bank initiated by National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke (USA) has been adapted and published here in a short form. The original questionnaire has been extended with data of patients' diets and neuropsychology. A suitable computer data basis derived from 1292 questions in 22 groups provides information about the risk factors, etiology, symptoms, signs, diagnosis, prognosis of stroke, and the easy to use follow up of patients.

Eleven elderly female patients (73-88 yrs) suffering from senile dementia of Alzheimer type (7 cases) and from multi-infarct dementia (4 cases) were treated with (-) deprenyl (Jumex) for 3 and 6 months respectively. Improvement was most frequent in SDAT patients and most pronounced as regards self-care, short-term memory, mental alertness and uncooperativeness.

Short-term treatment of rats with low doses (2 meq/kg) of lithium carbonate led to renal damage which, however, appeared to be almost completely reversible even in nephrectomized animals. Renal damage caused by higher doses (6 meq/kg) was more explicit, but also appeared to be reversible to a certain degree even in the case of continuous lithium treatment. Regeneration was less expressed in nephrectomized animals. The collecting tubules and some segments of Henle's loop, as sites poor in mitochondria, display increased susceptibility to the damaging effect of lithium carbonate.
