Clinical efficacy of 7 day reamberin therapy of abstinence syndrome was compared in 32 alcoholics with concomitant exogenous organic brain lesions (F 10.2, mean age 41.2 +/- 6.

[A genetic analysis of neurological symptoms in schizophrenic families].

To investigate an accumulation of certain neurological signs in patients with schizophrenia and their relatives and to estimate heritability of neurological abnormalities, 95 patients, 169 relatives and 35 healthy subjects have been studied using standardized clinical neurological examination. Neurological abnormalities in patients and their relatives did not form a constant and localized pattern and exerted an influence on various functions. A frequency of each symptom, with an exception of autonomic ones, was low both in families and controls.

[Polymorphism of serotonin receptor gene 5-HTR2A and schizotypic traits in mentally healthy subjects].

Serotonin receptor type 2 (5-HTR2A) polymorphism was consistently reported to be related to schizophrenia and some clinical presentations of the disease. The present study aimed at searching for association between 5-HTR2A polymorphism and schizotypic personality traits being considered as recognized phenotype predisposing to schizophrenia. Relationship between these features measured by SPQ-74 and two 5-HTR2A polymorphic loci has been studied in mentally healthy community sample (n = 64).
