    Notes: Summary All identified Israeli patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with onset of the disease from 1959 through 1975 (n=318) were evaluated clinically. Most of our patients (63%) presented with weakness; only 10% presented with atrophy and 3% with fasciculations. In 31% of the cases, the onset of the disease was focal and 22% of the patients presented with bulbar signs, but only 6 patients presented with emotional lability (pseudo-bulbar). Twelve per cent of the patients presented with muscle cramps, pain or paraesthesia. Atypical signs such as motor cranial nerve lesion, dementia, sphincter disturbance and deep sensation loss are discussed. A relatively high proportion of our patients suffered from malignant tumour, but with no association with any specific tumour. The median survival time was 3 years. Patients with onset of their disease with bulbar signs had a shorter life expectancy (2.2 years): Twenty nine per cent of our patients survived for more than 5 years and 16% for more than 10 years.

    Notes: Summary This is a report on the effects of a psychiatrists' strike in Israel on emergency psychiatric referrals and admissions from two catchment areas. One had comprehensive psychiatric services, the other did not. Three periods were compared - before, during and after the strike. During the strike period, overall referrals to the emergency room decreased by 3.9%. A significant 15.8% decrease in referrals was registered in the comprehensive psychiatric service area, and an 11.4% increase in referrals in the other catchment area. Although no increase was seen in total emergency admissions during the strike, involuntary admissions increased by 21.6%, within the catchment area which did not have a comprehensive service, whereas within the area with the comprehensive service there was a significant decrease of 33% in involuntary admissions. The impact of these services on emergency referrals and admissions, especially during the strike, is discussed.
