“…27 In one case, ketamine was used along with ECT. 28 ECT and nomifensine were paired successfully to treat CD in a medically handicapped patient. 23 The use of ECT with tricyclic antidepressants was reported in severe cases of CD that presented with self-injurious behaviour, guilt and ruin delusions, and marked weight loss.…”

Patients can present with chief complaints and symptoms that differ from the eventual diagnoses. The differences between aetiologies versus complications must be appreciated through careful evaluation and use of clinical investigations, laboratory testing, trial of hypotheses, and clinical gestalt. Herein, this article discusses the case of a 58-year old individual who presented with impaired physical functioning, malnutrition, depression, and cognitive impairment. These four symptoms are known collectively as failure to thrive, and they often portend adverse patient outcomes. The internal medicine care team initially attributed the failure to thrive to the combination of an ongoing cervicofacial infection and a pre-existing mood disorder, but its true aetiology was more complex. In the context of various physical and psychiatric health derangements, the patient displayed clear signs of a rare disorder called Cotard’s syndrome. Due to the concern of the care team and the patient’s acting medical power of attorney, the eventual working diagnosis was made, and electroconvulsive therapy and aripiprazole combination therapy initiated, resulting in significant and improved outcomes. In addition to discussing the patient’s course of care, this case report also addresses the caution inherent in prescribing medications, the evaluation of decision making capacity, and the utilisation of a medical power of attorney. The authors also present their thoughts on minimising inefficiencies in care delivery to better the patient’s health outcomes.

“…We will discuss the one by Tseng (2007) about passives in English, which makes fundamental aussumptions differing significantly from standard assumptions in lexicalist theories like HPSG. The second approach is by Bjerre & Bjerre (2007) and deals explicitly with Danish. This proposal differs from previous proposals by including a representation of semantic facts that are relevant for the passive in Danish.…”

We show how the variation in the passive in Danish, English, and German can be accounted for. The dimensions in which the three languages differ are the existence of a morphological passive in Danish a subject requirement in Danish and English resulting in expletive insertion in impersonal constructions in Danish and absence of impersonal passives in English the possibility to promote the secondary object to subject in Danish The differences are accounted for by differences in the structural/lexical case distinction and by mapping processes that insert expletives in Danish. The passive in general is accounted for by a lexical rule that is uniform across languages and hence captures the generalization regarding passive.

“…Most verbs take have, but a sizable minority take vaere, including falde 'fall', komme sig 'recover', and smelte 'melt' (see Sprouse 1988 andBjerre andBjerre 2007 for discussion). To start, we should point out that gøre is not inherently incompatible with main verbs that require vaere.…”

A Defective Auxiliary in Danish

In English, auxiliaries form a cohesive category. Unlike main verbs, they raise to T. In Danish, it is not as obvious that auxiliaries form such a unified category. In root clauses, all verbal elements can raise to T (and then onto C), while in embedded clauses they always stay in situ. This makes telling where a given element sits in the extended verbal projection a challenging task. We examine a verbal element in Danish, gøre, that shows up when the verb phrase has been topicalized, elided, or pronominalized. Even though, from surface appearance, gøre might appear to be of category T or v, it is located, we argue, right in the middle. It is an auxiliary.But, unlike other auxiliaries, gøre is defective because it only subcategorizes for vPs that are pronominal. * Ange Strom-Weber made a substantial contribution to one of the earlier incarnations of this paper, presented at the 21st Comparative Germanic Syntax Workshop. We are also grateful to
