“…[73]) emphasizing the role of phase information. In our study, a relation of the phase specificity to the opponent colour system can be noted due to effects related to sensory deprivation [50,51]. These effects will be estimated by collecting reports of subjective experiences during the stimulation with a constant ganzfeld of illumination with instructions equivalent to the ones used in Experiment 1 to 3 (see Appendix B).…”

“…The phenomena of subjective visual experiences and hallucinations are also tightly linked to the effects of sensory deprivation [50,51]. Surprisingly, the shapes of visual experiences found during sensory deprivation in an almost completely darkened room [52] corresponded to experiences found under toxic stimulation [26], in cases of cerebral pathology [34], migraine [42], or degenerative eye diseases [33].…”

“…However, external or internal stimuli can be incorporated into the content of an ongoing dream, although to a much lesser extent than previously assumed, and in most cases these stimulations undergo a transformation before they appear in the dream (7,12,16,19,31,34,36,41,42,63,62).…”

Background: Management of MRSA infection includes immediate isolation of the patient. Long periods of isolation are considered to be psychologically detrimental, though little information is available about the impact of isolation as an infection control procedure. The purpose of this study is to examine the psychological well-being of spinal cord injured patients who are isolated as a result of being MRSA positive. Methods: A cross-sectional matched-control study of MRSA positive patients with MRSA negative patients was carried out at the National Spinal Injuries Centre, Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Bucks, England. Sixteen MRSA positive patients, aged 18 to 65, and their matched controls completed a series of questionnaires to measure aspects of psychological impact. The measures used were functional independence, depression, anxiety, and the a ective states of anger, vigour, fatigue and confusion. Findings: The MRSA positive spinal cord injured patients were only signi®cantly more angry than the control group, although these isolated patients scored higher in all measures. Interpretations: In this spinal cord injured group the di erence between the psychological wellbeing of isolated MRSA positive patients and non-isolated MRSA negative patients is not as great as might have been expected. Patients feel that rehabilitation is a ected, but the situation may be improved by providing more space and a better view onto the ward.
