Neurotransplantation--a new method of treatment in psychiatry?

The authors present the results of their catamnestic evaluation of the first few patients (diagnosis of schizophreny; atrophic process posttraumatic and Alzheimer's dementia), in whom implantation of neuronal embryonal tissue into the brain was performed in the last few years. They warn against excessive publicity and optimistic appraisal by neurosurgeons because psychiatric examinations after some time fail to confirm the success of the operation.

Prescription of psychopharmaca in common psychiatric diagnoses (discussion on the results of an anonymous survey).

The authors have made an anonymous survey among Czechoslovak psychiatrists on the prescription of psychopharmaca in select psychiatric diagnoses. The first place is occupied by haloperidol, perfenazin and chlorpromazine in hallucinatory paranoid syndromes, amitriptyline and clomipramine in depressions. The authors also wanted to find out which drugs were regarded as unsuitable by each psychiatrist. The replies varied considerably. In comparison with a similar survey made ten years ago, the methods of treatment relatively persist and novelties are rather wished for than really administered.

[Disturbances in psychosocial adaptation in old age].

The transition to old age is one of the critical phases of life. The adaptation of old people in mass institutions, especially in hospitals and old people's homes, is becoming problematical. We attempted an evaluation of each element of adaptation of old people housed in old people's homes by means of the GBS scale over a period of the first six months after admission. In the first month the orientation and memory deteriorated considerably. Fear and anxiety grew, depression became worse. In the period between the third and sixth month, the condition became relatively stable but the deterioration in the personality is significant. A sort of adaptation to a lower level took place. The research confirms that it is desirable to finish development of the system of care of old people in untraditional ways which would make possible keeping the old people in homelike conditions as long as possible.

[The "open door" system in psychiatry].

The authors describe the situation which developed as a result of construction work, when the grounds of the psychiatric clinic were open. Before that time there were during a five-year period on average 2.2 escapes per year; despite an unaltered regime of the patients and unaltered supervision there was not a single escape. This is in favour of an "open door system" in psychiatry, with the possibility to apply it in future rationalization activities.

[Adaptation problems in old age].

The authors summarize available literature concerned with some problems of aging and old age. Attention is devoted in particular to factors which have an adverse impact on this process such as loss of the partner, retirement, disintegration of the home, reduced activity, etc. Some typical diseases of old age are mentioned. The authors emphasize that it is not enough to ensure economic and biological needs. Attention is paid in particular to problems of psychosocial adaptation of old people when going to a different, though sometimes more secure environment. Adaptation responses in the mental sphere may be sometimes very serious and may have tragic consequences for old people. As in contemporary society change of environment on social and health grounds is relatively frequently necessary, the authors summarize the literature on this problem and give an account of views how to prevent sequelae of impaired adaptation or how to mitigate them.

Treatment of some cases in child psychiatry with incisive neuroleptic drugs.

The authors report on the administration of incisive neuroleptic drugs in child psychiatry. The drugs were applied in schizophreny, obsessive syndromes and especially in tics. They administered pimozide, haloperidol, penfluridol and isofloxythepin. The results were often better than in the case of sedatives. The authors believe that incisive neuroleptic drugs deserve greater application in these indications as well as in child psychiatry.
