Detentiebeleving van strafrechtelijk gedetineerden zonder verblijfsrecht

__Abstract__ The detention experiences of male criminal foreign national prisoners without legal residence receive little attention in penological literature. A qualitative study amongst 30 prisoners with and 16 prisoners without legal residence in the penitentiary institution Tilburg shows that contacts with the social network and the preparation of the reintegration in society are (more) complicated for foreign national prisoners without legal residence. Besides, communication with the staff is more difficult for this group. These factors have negative impact on their detention experiences. The results show that both deprivation and importation theory apply to foreign national prisoners without legal residence. However, importation aspects - especially the lack of legal residence - may substantially and systematically increase the deprivation and result in additional exclusion and isolation mechanisms for this pa

Variations of homovanillic acid levels in ventricular cerebrospinal fluid.

We studied the nycterohemeral variations of homovanillic acid (HVA) in ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in 24 patients undergoing monitoring of intracranial pressure as part of the normotensive hydrocephalus (NTH) work-up. CSF samples were obtained every 4 h in each patient. The mean individual values of HVA in the ventricular CSF ranged from 133 to 421 ng/ml, and they could not be correlated to any clinical feature. The intraindividual levels of HVA were stable throughout 24 hours, with a variation coefficient inferior to 10% in 63% of cases, and inferior to 20% in all the patients
