[Changes in thyroid function in primary degenerative dementia processes].

To overcome diagnostic uncertainties in early phases of Alzheimer's disease (pre-senile dementia), the analysis of T-3 and T-4 concentration can be usefully employed. Arising out of the localisation neuropathological findings in Alzheimer type dementia, it could be that hormonal findings perform a useful function as indicators of a change in neurotransmitter activity in this disease.

[Epidemiology and psychopathology of epileptics in Bydgoszca Province registered between 1976 and 1980].

In the years 1976-1980, the province of Bydgoszcz had a total of 2635 registered epileptics, or 0.37% of the entire population, over the age of 16. From these, 200 patients were randomly selected, and between 1983 and 1985 a complats clinical follow-up investigation was carried out. Among the most frequent mental disorders found were postparoxysmal twilight state (19.5%) and affective psychoses (11%), among the chronic disorders, dementia of varying intensity (26.5%). In contrast with previous investigations the present investigation made it possible to determine with precision the cause of epileptic attacks. The ratio was 61% to 31%.

[The etio-epigenetic nosographic system as an illustration of multiaxial diagnosis in psychiatry].

Basing on earlier work done by Essen-Möller in Sweden, Leme Lopez in Brazil, and Tadeusz Bilikiewicz in Poland, a survey is presented of the development of the concepts known an etioepigenetic psychiatric nosography. The significance of these systems in the classification of mental disorders is illustrated by examples. The etioepigenetic system involves three axes of development methods of the complex structure of the psyche. The first axis embraoes the genotypic period, the second the effects of etioepigenetic factors, and the third the formation of psychopathologic (neurotic or psychiatric) syndromes.
