[Alcohol and central and peripheral nervous system disorders].

It belongs to the definition of chronic alcoholism that also clinically established lesions of the organs can be proved. As to the nervous system the case in question are multilocular defects which concern the central and peripheral nervous system. The local accentuation, the developmental speed and the intensiveness of the alcoholic defect of the cellular metabolism lead to different courses. The suggestion of their individuality must at the same time take into consideration the character of chronic alcoholism which on principle affects the whole nervous system.

Alcohol Amnestic Disorder

[The asynchronous course of aging processes in the formation of hippocampus].

In the way of quantitative investigations of nerve cells and neuroglia in g. parahippocampalis and following analysis of measuring dates by multivariat variance- and discriminance-analysis was demonstrated that aging process in ammonite formation can be described on the base of cells only in sector subiculum.

[The significance of the arterial pulse waves and their enveloppe curves in endogenous depression].

The envelope curves of arterial pulse waves are carries of information about the central circulatory and respiratory regulation. Using a discriminence analysis, the mean width of the wave peak of this curve appears as a characteristic feature of the activity form of the generally activating reticular system which is changed in endogenous depressions. By means of this feature, it is possible to distinguish patients with endogenous depression from healthy test persons without using psychopathological findings.

Adult

[The shy-drager syndrom, a disease of second half of life (author's transl)].

As an example are represented in three processes of disease of Shy-Drager-Syndrom pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy. The leading symptom manifested in asympathicotonical hypotonical state is mixed with vegetative and centralnervious changes. The manifestation of this disease after the age of fourty makes it to a very strange illness of the second half of life.

Aged

[Vegetative phenomena in the course of depressive states].

Depressive psychoses are accompanied by vegetative disorders. Third-order blood-pressure waves are an expression of vasomotor rhythms which through diencephalic and limbic structures tend to adjust the blood pressure to the respective overall psychovegetative situation. In the case of depressions with an axious increase of impulse, statistical evidence was obtained, within the framework of clinical improvement, for a correlation between a decreasing score of depression and an increasing frequency of third-order waves. The same central trends of these quantities suggest that both of them are different manifestations of a common functional disorder in the limbic system and diencephalon.

Affective Disorders, Psychotic

[Psychiatric and neurological problems of the older age (author's transl)].

Pyschical crisis and pathological change do not differ at people in the older age. The two terms do not characterize the normal development of the old age, but extreme spheres are circumscribed. The cerebrovascular insufficience is a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic area, but it is accissible. The psychopathological symptoms to be caused by this disturbance are reversible in many cases. The problems of a comprehensive diagnostic and therapy of sleeping-disturbances at aged people are described.
