Aversion Therapy by Electric Shock: a Simple Technique

Electric shock in patients administered to hospital: a descriptive study

Diabetes unmasked by electric shock.

Following an accidental electric shock, a boy with no previous symptoms developed hyperglycaemia, rapidly evolving into diabetes. He was aglycosuric for 24 hours after the shock. Islet cell antibodies were shown shortly after the accident. Although destined to develop diabetes, it seems likely that the electric shock unmasked impaired glucose tolerance. Glucose homoeostasis should be monitored ...

Electron Heating by the Cross-shock Electric Potential Electron Heating by the Cross-shock Electric Potential

Electrons can experience super-adiabatic heating at a collisionless shock due to the presence of a cross-shock electric potential. This heating can greatly exceed the temperature rise associated with the conservation of the magnetic moment of the electrons as they move into the stronger magnetic eld downstream of the shock. The criterion for the onset of super-adiabatic heating and the eeects o...

Regressive electric shock therapy; preliminary report on 100 cases.

This paper will present the results of experience with "regressive electroshock treatment" (hereafter referred to as REST) in 100 cases over the six years following 1948. This method has been described previously by Milligan, 1 Kennedy and Anchell, 2 Rothschild et al., 3 WeiP and others. However, in spite of the years since the initial report in 1946, few hospitMs ~have adopted the method. At t...

The intensive electric shock therapy of chronic disturbed psychotic patients.

279 Intensive electric shock therapy, i.e., therapy given daily or oftener, has become a validated procedure in the management of acute excitement states( 1-3). This type of treatment has been advocated for curative purposes in both neurotic(4) and psychotic (5, 6) illnesses. It has also been used in the management of chronic psychotic patients (7, 8). This report deals with the use of intensiv...
