[Structure and dynamics of depressive disorders in patients with a new coronavirus infection].

Objective: To analyze the dynamics of depressive disorders in patients who underwent COVID-19.

Material And Methods: The study included female patients (=30) with mean age 35.4±3.

[A role of clinical, psychological and social factors in the formation of hetero - and self-aggressive behavior of women serving time in a correctional facility].

Aim: To define a role of clinical, psychological and social factors in the development of aggressive behavior in women.

Material And Methods: A total of 1054 women serving their sentence in a penal colony were stratified into three groups: group 1 - 435 women with heteroaggressive behavior, group 2 - 298 women with self-aggressive behavior, group 3 (control group) - 321 woman without aggressive behavior. Clinical, psychological, sociological, and statistical methods were used.

[The clinical predictors of heteroaggressive behaviour of the women serving sentence in penitentiary].

Aim: To identify clinical predictors of heteroaggressive behavior.

Material And Methods: Three hundreds and three women serving sentence in a penal colony were examined using clinical, neurologic and statistical methods. The main group consisted of 225 women with heteroaggressive behavior, the control group included 78 women without aggressive behavior.

[The use of mGlu2/3 receptors as a new approach to treat schizophrenia: results of a randomized double-blind trial].

Glutamate neurotransmission has been considered as one of pathogenetic factors of schizophrenia though all antipsychotics widely used in modern psychiatric practice are dopamine antagonists. LY2140023 is a selective agonist for metabotropic glutamate 2/3 (mGlu2/3) receptors with antipsychotic effect. In the present study, we have assessed clinical efficacy of LY2140023 in patients with schizophrenia compared to the control group receiving olanzapine in a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.
