[So-called small-scope delusions].

Analysis of psychopathological traits of the paranoiac syndrome in 60 patients with late schizophrenia permitted to distinguish certan signs which can be allocated to the differentiation of late schizophrenia from other delusional psychoses in the elderly. The following differential signs were underlined: initial symptoms, such as rudimentary cenesthopathia, stable insomnia, etc., preceding the formation of delusions; appearance of episodic exacerbations in the form of short-time acute paranoiac states; a combination of paranoiac delusion with stable phasic affective disorders; unusual possession of delusional patients expressed in bizarre delusional behaviour, etc. Using this example as a model, the necessity of further profound and differentiated psychopathological studies of syndromes distinguished as predilective for old age is indicated.

[Present state and future tasks for gerontopsychiatric research].

The state of scientific studies in gerontopsychiatry in the USSR is characterized. The development of respective epidemiological and follow-up studies is positively assessed. However such global problems related to studies in organizational and basic problems (biological, neurophysiological, genetical, pathopsychological, etc) are not sufficiently represented. It is emphasized that new approaches in gerontopsychiatry such as the study of borderline mental disorders in the elderly, the role of social and microsocial factors, the elaboration of psychotherapeutical and rehabilitative measures are developing.

[Problem of progression in schizophrenia. I. Problem of progression of attack-like forms].

A total of 552 patients with attack-like schizophrenia, who attained old age were examined clinically. It was established that the development of negative changes in such patients occurs predominantly during the first half of life. Subsequently not all patients demonstrate a progressive development of the disease and even if it does occur it is seen in the form of more frequent or longer attacks and a complication of psychopathological disorders. At the same time there is a certain correlation between the clinical picture of the attacks and the severity of deficitary changes. A reverse development of some personality changes in long-term remissions in old age are described.

[Clinical aspects and course of schizophrenia from the aspect of age].

On the basis of a study of 3500 schizophrenic patients the authors studied the age preference of 8 schizophrenic syndromes selected for this purpose. It was demonstrated that besides some syndromes typical of schizophrenia occurring in middle age (hallucinatory-paranoid, oneiroid, etc.) there are some syndromes which are most frequently encountered in adolescency and old age. It was also shown that the influence of age factors can be combined with the influence of sex. The age factors exert a certain impact on the formation of the type of disease and its sex distribution. The paper contains a description of special age forms of schizophrenia encountered in adolescency and in old age.
