[The development of expert systems for forensic psychiatric evaluation].

Possible methodological approaches to elaboration of the expert systems in forensic psychiatry are presented. These systems are intended for doubtful "borderline" cases. The comparison of psychopathologic parameters with peculiarities of criminal situation (character of the delinquency, the role of the examined person, other factors) is the base of such approach. The advantage of clinical logical method over the mathematical one at the present stage of forensic psychiatry development is demonstrated.

[Various clinico-social aspects of differential diagnosis of schizophrenia].

Fifty-six cases where the diagnosis of psychopathy was replaced by that of schizophrenia, 44 cases where the diagnosis of organic brain damage was replaced by schizophrenia, and 45 cases of the replacement of the diagnosis of schizophrenia by organic brain damage on repeated forensic psychiatry expert evaluation were subjected to a ++clinico-catamnestic analysis. The author describes the main ++clinico-social phenomena imitating some signs of the initially diagnosed disease and/or "overshadowing" criteria for the catamnestically verified pattern of psychopathology in psychopath-like conditions and delineates some combinations of such conditions. Proceeding from limited potentialities of " algorithms " of the diagnostic problems in psychiatry, especially with regard to the pathomorphosis as well as because of the complexity of forecasting particular signs and their number that may form a sufficient basis for correct or erroneous diagnosis in spite of a comparatively low incidence of the majority of the phenomena considered, all of them are regarded as practically significant.

[Immunologic characteristics of patients with reactive depressions].

The authors examined 82 patients suffering from reactive depressions with a relatively acute, subacute and protracted course, 10 patients with a reactive onset of schizophrenia and 24 normal subjects. The test subjects were examined over time for titres of heterohemolysins, S-RB, antibodies against cerebral antigens and the administered drugs as well as for relative parameters of T- and B-rosettes. The results obtained make it possible to identify the most frequent combinations of the examined parameters in the above groups of patients with various symptomatology. Immunological indices may be an important criterion for selecting the therapy of patients with reactive depressions. Thus the detection in the serum of antibodies against the administered drugs may serve as a sufficient basis for changing the therapy and using medicaments of a different chemical structure.
