RESUMO
Changes are still occurring as we continue to refine the tool. We have now determined that not all OR nurses need to learn to use the tool. The head nurse or assistant head nurse can do it quickly. We are continuing to gather data and hope to have input from other hospitals interested in testing the tool.

The urinary excretion of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) was significantly lower in patients with manic-depressive depressions than in patients with chronic characterological depressions. There was an inverse relationship between MHPG excretion and the amount of time spent in desynchronized sleep, particularly in the manic-depressive disorders. Excretion of MHPG was not related to the degree of retardation, agitation, or anxiety in these patients.
