Self-Stigma in Patients with Endogenous Mental Disorders: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study.

Background: Self-stigma remains one of the most vexing issues in psychiatry. It complicates the treatment and social functioning of patients with endogenous psychiatric disorders. Identifying the specific features of self-stigma depending on the type and duration of the endogenous mental illness can help solve this problem.

[Socio-demographic and clinical-psychological characteristics of patients with residual schizophrenia and directions of their psychosocial rehabilitation].

Objective: To analyze the socio-demographic, clinical and psychological characteristics of patients with residual schizophrenia, to identify variants of residual states and to determine measures for psychosocial rehabilitation on this basis.

Material And Methods: At the time of investigation, 91 patients with the diagnosis of residual schizophrenia (F20.5xx according to ICD-10) were under dispensary supervision in the psychoneurological dispensary No.

Assessment of effectivity of oral killed typhoid and paratyphoid B vaccines and aerosol chemical typhoid vaccine in controlled field trials.

A total of 3 controlled field trials were carried out. One of them (1963) showed that aerosol chemical typhoid vaccine did not protect vaccinated subjects from the disease. Two other tests (1964 and 1965) assessing the effectivity of killed orally administered typhoid vaccine revealed a short term (up to 3 months) protective effect expressed by an effectivity coefficient of 45%, fiducial limits being 8-70%.

Assessment of effectivity of oral killed typhoid and paratyphoid b vaccines and aerosol chemical thyphoid vaccine in controlled field trials.

A total of 3 controlled field trials were carried out. One of them (1963) showed that aerosol chemical typhoid vaccine did not protect vaccinated subjects from the disease. Two other tests (1964 and 1965) assessing the effectivity of killed orally administered typhoid vaccine revealed a short term (up to 3 months) protective effect expressed by an effectivity coefficient of 45%, fiducial limits being 8-70%.

Controlled field trials of killed oral typhoid and paratyphoid B vaccines and cell-free, chemical aerosol typhoid vaccine.

Three controlled field trials were carried out. One of them (1963) showed that an aerosol with cell-free, chemical typhoid vaccine did not protect vaccinees from the disease. The other trials (1964 and 1965) assessing the efficacy of killed oral typhoid vaccine revealed a short term (up to 3 months) protective effect.

Controlled field trial with dried sorbed paratyphoid B and typhoid vaccines.

In 1968-70 a field trial was arranged in the USSR to evaluate the effectiveness of dried sorbed paratyphoid B and typhoid vaccines when administered in two doses separated by an interval of 20-30 days.TWO GROUPS OF SCHOOLCHILDREN WERE UNDER OBSERVATION: a group inoculated with paratyphoid B vaccine (75 805 children) and a group inoculated with typhoid vaccine (76 314 children). The persons who were inoculated with the paratyphoid B vaccine formed the control group used in evaluating the effectiveness of the typhoid vaccine, and those inoculated with the typhoid vaccine formed the control group for the evaluation of the paratyphoid vaccine.

A controlled field trial to evaluate the protective capacity of a single dose of acetone-killed agar-grown and heat-killed broth-grown typhoid vaccines.

In a strictly controlled field trial among schoolchildren a study was made of the protective capacity of single doses of 2 typhoid vaccines: a heat-killed broth-grown sorbed dried vaccine made in the USSR (vaccine G-66) and an acetone-killed agar-grown dried vaccine (vaccine K-66) made in Yugoslavia. The latter vaccine was supplied by the World Health Organization.A single dose of these preparations exerted a statistically significant protective effect during the first 10 months of observation.

Controlled field trials of paratyphoid B vaccine and evaluation of the effectiveness of a single administration of typhoid vaccine.

In 1963 and 1964 field trials were organized in the USSR for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of paratyphoid B vaccine. An opportunity was thereby afforded to assess the effectiveness of a single administration of typhoid vaccine, used as the preparation administered to the paratyphoid control group of 89 046 persons. Similarly, the control group used for assessing the effectiveness of the typhoid vaccine was the group of 86 620 persons inoculated with the paratyphoid vaccine.

A controlled field trial and laboratory study of five typhoid vaccines in the USSR.

A controlled field trial of typhoid vaccines was carried out in the USSR in 1962. It was the fifth and last of a series. Five preparations were tested, the most effective being a heat-killed divalent vaccine prepared from aerated broth culture.
