[Implementation of fluorescent imaging technology in endovideosurgical treatment of colorectal endometriosis].

The article includes a clinical case of a patient with deep infiltrating endometriosis with rectum involving and using intraoperative controlled fluorescence in order to increase the radicality of surgery and improve the prognosis of the disease. Surgical excision of the endometrioitic nodules is the only effective way of treating patients with colorectal endometriosis in terms of relieving pain, improving quality of life and restoring reproductive function. The possible types of surgical interventions can be performed: endometrioid lesion shaving, discoid or circular intestinal resection with anastomosis.

[Electric stimulation of the brain in patients with hepatocerebral Wilson-Konovalov's degeneration (neuromorphological and neurophysiological analysis)].

36 stereotactic operations were carried out in 27 patients. Either the total lack of hyperkinesis or its significant decrease was found in 17 cases; 5 patients died. There was no correlation between manifestations of hepatocerebral degeneration and relatively normal quantitative characteristics of both cortical and subcortical biopotentials.

["Addictive" personality].

The paper presents an observation of 100 patients (84 men, 16 women) aged 13-50 years (mean 25 +/- 6.7 years) with different forms of drug addiction, namely: heroin, opiate, pervitin-ephedrone addiction as well as polynarcomanias. The duration of drug addiction ranged from 1 to 24 years (mean 4.

[Mental disorders in patients who abuse homemade opiates].

194 male patients with narcomania caused by home-made opiates' abuse were observed. The age of patients was 18-45 years, narcotization period lasted 3-22 years. In all the patients psychopathological symptoms were observed during all stages of disease.

[Families of drug addicts].

Altogether 47 families of patients suffering from narcomania were examined. It was discovered that the incidence of endogenous psychoses among the relatives of different degrees of kinship did not go beyond the populational norm. The data on alcohol abuse in the families considerably exceeded the highest parameters of normal.

[Ephedrine addiction].

Neurologic and psychopathologic disturbances were studied in patients with DL-ephedrine addiction. The patients were also subjected to echoencephalography. The authors identified the period of acute narcotic intoxication, the abstinence syndrome and the period of chronic intoxication.

[Late endogenous psychoses in light of clinico-genealogic research].

The families of 170 probands with late manifest endogenic psychoses (schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychoses) were studied. Late schizophrenia was found to be genetically related to schizophrenia on the whole. The families of patients with late schizophrenia were characterized by accumulation of typical schizophrenic psychoses and schizoid anomalies of the character.

[Clinico-genetic characteristics of psychoses with a clinical picture of involutional melancholia].

The author examined 34 probands with late endogenous paroxysmal psychoses and a characteristic picture of involutional melancholy at a certain stage of the disease. The accumulation of schizophrenia and affective psychoses among the next-kin relatives of these patients was significantly lower than in the families of patients with paroxysmal schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychosis of an early onset, but at the same time it was considerably higher than the risk of morbidity in the general population. No accumulation of psychoses of any other nosological nature (including those of a mentality deteriorating type) was observed.

[Genotypic specificity of schizophrenic psychoses].

A total of 610 probands with a disease manifestation in childhood, middle and old age and their families were examined by the clinico-genealogical method. The results allowed conclusions that (1) there is an undoubted genetic relationship between schizophrenia of childhood, middle and old age; and that (2) among the closest relatives in families of the probands there is no significant (in comparison to the general population) accumulation of non-schizophrenic pathology. The latter indicates a high genotypic specificity of schizophrenia.

[Families of late delusional schizophrenia patients].

Families of 44 schizophrenic probands with an onset over 45 years of age, were studied. Among the secondary psychoses, typical schizophrenical psychoses, with an onset in young and middle age were prevalent, no affective psychoses being revealed. The risk for schizophrenia in the parents and sibs was lower than in the families of schizophrenic patients with an onset in young age.

[Results of an epidemiologic study of mental patients over 60 years of age in one of the districts of Moscow].

The convened investigation was related to a clinico-epidemiological study of mental disorders in individuals older than 60 who lived in the Kiev district of Moscow. The study was made of the entire population by a nonselective method with a fulfillment of a specially elaborated epidemiological chart. On the basis of an analysis of such charts and a personal interview of 1024 elderly patients and 215 elderly individuals not registered in the neuropsychiatric dispensary it was possible to receive some data concerning the prevalence rates, diagnostical, sex and age content of mental diseases in patients over 60, living in the given district.

[A comparative clinico-genetic study of attack-like schizophrenia with late and early manifestation with regard to age].

The author studied the genetical traits in 2 groups of probands with attack-like schizophrenia with corresponding sex and age. The 1st group (62 probands) consisted of cases where the average age of the manifest psychoses was 59.5.
