[Psychosomatic aspects of gastrointestinal diseases].

The article covers up-to-date information about the incidence of psychosomatic pathology among patients of gastroenterologic profile including patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and syndrome of irritable colon. From the point of view of psychosomatic idea the article considers the factors predisposing, permitting and retarding the development of the disease. A detailed description is available in psychosomatic disturbances, modern concepts about their pathogenesis including a break of correlation between limbic and frontal regions of central nervous system and disorder in serotonin metabolism--clinical manifestations, methods of diagnosis and treatment including selective inhibitors and stimulators of serotonin reuptake and neuroleptics.

[The psychological assessment of patients with congenital and acquired maxillofacial deformities in the pre- and postoperative periods].

Complex rehabilitation of 20 patients with congenital and acquired maxillofacial deformations included psychological examinations using the finish-the-sentence test, Taylor's, Eysenck's [correction of Isenk's], Leonhard-Smisek, and Dembo-Rubinstein tests. Depressive states were detected in 4, neurotic reactions with depressive incorporations in 16 examinees. After surgery the manifestations of depression decreased in 60% of patients. Psychological studies helped improve the efficacy of surgery due to a favorable impact on the personality.

[Study of the associative activity of schizophrenic patients by the technic of remote synchronization of cortical biopotentials].

To reveal physiological correlates of the schizophrenic thinking peculiarities associated with impaired mechanisms of information selection, spatial synchronization of the cortical biopotentials was studied in 10 healthy probands and 9 patients with continuously progressing schizophrenia. Both the healthy probands and the patients were asked to solve problems of comparing notions in situations where standard or non-standard criteria for the solution could be chosen. The bioelectrical activity was recorded at 48 cortical sites with subsequent estimation of the cross-correlation interconnections between the EEGs. It was found that in the solution of problems with the use of standard criteria the spatial-temporary organization of the biopotentials differed but little in the healthy probands and the patients, whereas in the solution of problems for which secondary, latent features of the subjects were required, these differences were rather marked in a number of characteristics, such as the general level of the synchronism, the character of interhemispheral asymmetries, the topographic distribution of the biopotential synchronization. The data obtained are discussed in the light of the present-day concepts on the functional specialization of the hemispheres.

[Clinico-electrophysiologic characteristics of non-process personality changes and schizophrenia in adolescence].

The paper deals with a study of spatial organization in the biological processes during their toposcopical registration. These studies were necessary to determine the clinical and electrophysiological criteria for the differential diagnosis of schizophrenic patients and nonprocess personality deviations in adolescency. The data obtained demonstrated several differences, as shown by bioelectrical indices, in the intrahemispheric, interhemispheric, intracortical and cortical-subcortical interrelationships in the general system of functional contacts. On the basis of literary and personal experience certain assumptions are made, related to the differentiated influence of each of the links in the dynamic organization of brain activity on the character of psychopathological signs.

[Clinical features of several variants of schizophrenia in adolescence. I].

A total of 87 schizophrenic patients (39 boys and 48 girls), with a psychopathlike syndrome and deviant behaviour were examined. On the basis of the clinical picture and type of development of the disease, 2 groups of patients (from 14-18 years) were distinguished. The first group included patients who by their clinical traits belonged to heboid schizophrenia and were observed in the framework of a one-attack shiftlike development of the process. In the second group the psychopathlike syndrome was expressed in the presence of increasing personality changes, while the development of the process was a sluggish type.

[Clinico-psychopathologic features of non-process forms of deviant behavior in adolescence].

Clinico-psychopathological traits of non-process forms of deviant behaviour in adolescents were studied in the framework of pathological personality formation. Two variants in the development of the disease were distinguished: favourable and unfavourable. Some differential diagnostic criteria are outlined which permit to delineate this form of borderline pathology from a debut of schizophrenia in adolescency. The study includes a consideration of the disturbed system of relationships of the personality in the adolescents examined.

[The characteristics of diagnosing homosexuality in examining a special population contingent].

In social terms homosexuality is one of the most dangerous sexual perversions, for it is subject to a strong social disapproval, affects the personality core, leads to social disadaptation, growth of anxiety, development of neurotic and depressive states, suicidal inclination, is conducive to the spread of syphilis and AIDS, forms the basis for numerous crimes (violence, aggression, murder). Homosexuality virtually cannot be corrected and is carefully concealed. In single-sex groups (soldiers, students of military schools, convicts) the prevalence of homosexuality may be as high as 30 to 50%. The proposed complex method for the diagnosis of homosexuality in men has been developed on the basis of methods of sexology, anthropometry, verbal and nonverbal psychodiagnosis, multidimensional mathematical statistics. The method consists of several independent blocks representing different aspects of sexuality. It is conductive to a flexible and rapid solution of numerous practical problems from singling out a risk group in screening examinations to full expert evaluation of the sexual sphere with a resulting differential diagnosis.
