When the five-hundredth anniversary of Heidelberg University was celebrated in 1886, an elaborate breakfast was served which lasted more than three hours. Bunsen fell asleep during one of the tiresome speeches, but at one place in the address the speaker s loud oratory caused the aged chemist to awake with a start. Rubbing his eyes, he whispered to his neighbor, I thought I had let a test-tube full of rubidium fall to the floor (11). 

One of the primary advantages of presenting over giving a traditional speech is the relative ease of delivery. Presenting lets you work widi transparencies or a laptop, either of which lets you examine a full set of notes in disguise moreover, the setting is less fonnal and is thus emotionally less demanding on the speaker. Nonetheless, the ability to deliver a presentation effectively is not an inborn trait, and here we consider some key aspects of presentation delivery. 

This speech made me quickly look up to those glittering turrets of salt, where I could see a stupendous cataract or waterfall. The stream was more large than any river in her full channel but notwithstanding the height and violence of its fall it descended without any noise. The waters were dashed and their current distracted by those saltish rocks but for all this they came down with a dead silence - like the still, soft air. Some of this liquor - for it ran by me -1...

Others teach Dorp speaks like Pericles. His words are thunder and lightning. Others lecture Dorp always held forth and declaimed. Another teacher might be content to insinuate himself into the mind of the listener Dorp was not content to gently persuade. He opened up the heart of the listener, he broke into his mind. Another man s speech might be slow, indifferent, quiet Dorp s was rapid, impetuous, direct. The words of another might be learned Dorp s were touching and full of emotion.84... 

A clinical study of hospitalized drug-treated patients found many suffering from mental deterioration typical of a chronic organic brain syndrome that the researchers labeled dysmentia (Wilson et ah, 1983). Tardive dysmentia consists of unstable mood, loud speech, and [inappropriately close] approach to the examiner. It is probably a variant of hypomanic dementia.1 The mental abnormalities in the study by Wilson et al. (1983) correlated positively with TD symptoms measured on the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale. In addition, length of neuroleptic treatment correlated with three measures of dementia unstable mood, loud speech, and euphoria. The authors stated, It is our hypothesis that certain of the behavioral changes observed in schizophrenic patients over time represent a behavioral equivalent of tardive dyskinesia, which we will call tardive dysmentia (p. 188). The tendency in the literature, perhaps in search of a euphemism, has been to use the term tardive dysmentia even when a full-blown dementing syndrome is described. 

But we do need to be able to communicate by speech and by writing as well. In principle we could do this by using systematic names. In practice, though, the full systematic names of anything but the simplest molecules are far too clumsy for use in everyday chemical speech. There are several alternatives, mostly based on a mixture of trivial and systematic names. 

A 14-year-old boy with major depressive disorder responded to paroxetine 20 mg/day with full remission of depressive symptoms except insomnia (16). Diphenhydramine and trazodone did not improve his sleep and caused excessive daytime drowsiness. He then responded well to zaleplon 10 mg, but when he took two extra tablets 3 weeks later he developed complex behavior and sleepwalking. He had slurred speech, was slow in responding to questions, was moderately confused, and was uncoordinated and moved slowly. Physical examination, routine laboratory investigations, and an electrocardiogram were all normal. He remained in hospital for 8 hours and awakened without any memory of his activities. His mental state at 1 week and 1 month were both normal. 

In a manic episode the need for less sleep is almost always seen, so that the individual may rise hours earlier than normal yet stiU be full of enei. Indeed, the person may not sleep for days but feel no fatigue. Another common symptom is overly high self-confidence. The individual may attempt complex and difficult tasks for which he or she has no experience or knowledge, such as sailing around the world or climbing Mount Everest. The person may also have grandiose delusions (false beliefs that do not seem possible) about himself or herself. Rapid and loud speech that is difficult to interrupt is also a common symptom. Speech will often show a pressured quality as if the person is compelled to speak, so that an individual may talk a lot. 

Any scientific meeting whose content is fully under the control of a company and that is product-specific must meet all criteria for fair balance and full disclosure. This means that the materials and speeches must be within approved labeling. 

A 14-year-old boy took about 21 g of procainamide and developed abdominal pain, weakness, blurred vision, dry mouth, pain on swallowing, and headache (59). His pupils were dilated, his skin dry and pale, and his mucous membranes dry. His blood pressure was 106/49 mmHg, his heart rate 91/minute. Following a tonic-clonic seizure his blood pressure was 125/57 mmHg and his heart rate 136/minute in sinus tachycardia. He became lethargic with slurred speech. He was given repeated doses of activated charcoal and made a full recovery. The serum procainamide and acecainide (A-acetylprocainamide) concentrations were 63 and 80 pg/ml respectively.
