[Psychophysiological changes in occupational diseases of chemical etiology].

Use of various psychophysiologic methods enabled to specify psychic response of workers exposed to chemicals and chronic poisoning patients. Chronic poisonings with 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, hydrocarbons, Trichlorfon, mercury, nitroesters have specific traits, and the patients could be grouped by means of cluster analysis. Handy techniques evaluating attention and memory could be recommended for everyday practical needs.

[Characteristics of affect in chronic intoxication by non-symmetrical dimethylhydrazine, hydrocarbons and nitroglycols].

The authors analyze emotional features in workers with occupational exposure to hydrazines, hydrocarbons and nitroglycols. Chronic occupational poisoning with those chemicals induce numerous emotional symptoms that are specific and varying in severity.

[Reactive suicide attempts in children, adolescents and young adults].

The paper is concerned with the study of 86 patients from 9--18 years who suffered from hysterical, affective-shock reactions and reactive depressions, accompanied by suicidal acts. Suicidal tendencies in these conditions appeared following acute psychic traumas. Their formation was facilitated by different unfavourable factors. As the children become older there is a complication not only of the clinical picture of the psychogenic disorder, but of the suicidal syndrome. The suicidal act in children proceeds impulsively, while in adolescency there is a presuicidal period. The stability of suicidal tendencies depends upon the depth of depressions; repeated suicides from the expressiveness of psychopathical personality traits and the existence of unsolved psychotraumatizing situations.

[Mental disorder in strangulation asphyxia].

In order to study the mental, neurological and EEG changes due to strangulative asphyxia, the authors studied 163 patients who attempted suicide by selfhanging. In the poststrangulative period there was changed consciousness, disorders of memory, emotions, as well as neurological symptoms which eventually had a reversible course. All these data were confirmed by EEG studies. The convened investigation demonstrated a high therapeutical effect of modern resuscitative measures which can be rendered to this contingent of patients.

[Suicide attempts in the involutional and aged periods].

The authors studied 76 patients from 51-87 years who attempted to commit suicide. The main diagnostic categories were involutional, senile and reactive psychoses, alcoholism, and schizophrenia. The main syndromes during which such acts were attempted were anxious-depressive, depressive-hypochondriacal and depressive-delusional. The formation of suicidal tendency was precipitated by age involution, somatical disorders, psychogenic traumas. In most of the patients following the suicidal attempt, there were mental disorders, conditioned both by the main psychic disturbance and by the personality reaction to the suicidal act, due to which special psychiatric treatment was necessary.

[Dynamics of mental disorders in poisoning with hypnotic and sedative preparations].

In order to study some mental disorders due to poisoning by sleeping and sedative drugs 258 patients with mental and boderline conditions (who had taken these drugs in toxic doses) were studied in the Sklifosovskiy Moscow Research Institute of Emergency Medical Aid. The revealed mental disorders on different stages of poisoning were less differentiated in the acute period (clouded consciousness, coma) and most diverse in pre- and postcomatose stages, where they were characterized by disturbed consciousness, hallucinatory and delusional experiences, epileptiformal syndromes, emotional, motor and other disturbances. The symptomatology depended upon the type of medical drug, intensity of medical procedures, the mental or boderline disease itself which influences the clinical picture of every stage of the intoxication.
