- Human figure drawings have been widely used to assess cognitive development in children. In the present study, free-hand human figure drawings were examined for 62 demented patients, and 60 normal elderly subjects. The drawings were scored for 53 body details using a method derived from work with children. A short scale of 15 details was developed by selecting body details with high item-total correlations which are simple to score even for untrained staff. This short scale had excellent interscorer and test-retest reliability and excellent concurrent validity as well. It correlated highly with the Mini-Mental State Examination, a commonly used screening test for dementia. The short scale discriminated demented and non-demented subjects and different levels of dementia severity as graded by the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale. However, no differences were observed between Alzheimer patients and patients with vascular dementia concerning presence of details in human figure drawings.

Perfectionism and Insomnia

- The relationship between perfectionism and insomnia was studied by means of a shortened version of Frost et al's (1990) Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS-20). In the first study, an age- and sex-stratified sample of 383 randomly selected individuals from Uppsala, Sweden answered the MPS-20 and a number of questions about their sleep. Within this normal sample, perfectionism correlated with degree of sleep problem, and with an increased concern over the adverse consequences of insufficient sleep. In the second study, the MPS-20 was administered to a consecutive series of 70 patients with persistent insomnia from a sleep disorders clinic. This group was found to have significantly higher scores than the normals on perfectionism, and especially on the subscales Concern over Mistakes and Personal Standards. Within the insomnia group, patients with a concomitant diagnosis of major depression differed from the non-depressed insomniacs by having higher scores on the subscale Doubts about Action. Although these studies show a correlation between perfectionism and insomnia, they do not demonstrate a causal relationship. It is hypothesized that perfectionism (high personal standards and high concern over mistakes) may serve as a predisposing factor for the development of persistent insomnia.

- Seventy similar bungalows constructed between 1968 and 1970 in the same suburban area of Stockholm were investigated regarding the content of house dust mite allergen, absolute indoor humidity, type of ventilation and basement construction. Houses with mechanical exhaust and supply ventilation had an indoor humidity above 7 g/kg less often than houses without this type of ventilation (Odds ratio 0.1, 95% confidence interval 0.0-0.2). Furthermore, only five of the 24 houses with exhaust and supply ventilation contained mattress dust mite allergen concentrations exceeding the median value (98.5 ng/g) compared with 30 of 46 hours which did not have such ventilation (odds ratio = 0.1, C.I. 0.0-0.5). Houses with both natural ventilation and crawl space basement harboured significantly less mattress mite allergen than houses having the same type of ventilation, but with a concrete slab basement. In a cold temperature climate, type of building construction and ventilation seem to be important for the occurrence of house dust mite allergens in dwellings. Our results indicate that modern energy-efficient houses should be equipped with mechanical exhaust and supply ventilation to reduce indoor air humidity during the dry winter months and the risk of mite infestation.
