[Criteria for the long-term prognosis of epilepsy occurring with psychotic disorders]. / O kriteriiakh dolgosrochnogo prognoza pri épilepsii, protekaiushchei s psikhoticheskimi rasstroistvami.

On the basis of analysis of 450 epileptic cases the authors have established positive correlations between the suspected ethological factors (endogenic predisposition in the form of epileptoid personality characteristics in relatives, alcoholism in parents, birth-related traumas, the history of intracranial infections at the early stages of ontogenesis) and the main structural dynamic manifestations of the disease in delayed periods. The above factors have been frequently associated with an unfavourable course of the disease, largely characterized by catatonic disturbances, and have been less common in patients with torpid and mixed patterns of the disease. The form of the psychosis course (transitory, paroxysmal and chronic) is poorly correlated with epilepsy progression.

[Features of peripheral circulatory disorders in patients with progressive muscular dystrophies]. / Osobennosti narushenii perifericheskogo krovoobrashcheniia u bol'nykh s progressiruiushchimi myshechnymi distrofiiami.

A total of 135 patients with primary and secondary progressive muscular dystrophies have been studied rheovasographically. On the basis of the findings obtained the authors have identified the main types and peculiarities of peripheral circulation disorders and described the principal pathogenetic mechanisms of their development. The clinical and physiological correlations are presented. The authors show the importance of detected changes in the peripheral circulation for the medical expert evaluation of working ability.

[State of peripheral circulation in the late stages of vibration disease]. / Sostoianie perifericheskogo krovoobrashcheniia v otdalennom periode vibratsionnoi bolezni.

The paper is concerned with a description of the results of polyrheovasographical studies in 102 patients with late stages of vibrational disease. The authors distinguished 3 variants of vascular disturbances: hypertonic, hypotonic, dystonic. The cold test detected in most of the patients changes of the vascular reactivity in the form of increased, decreased and--less frequently--inverse reactions to this stimula. The conclusion is made that polyrheovazographical studies permit to clarify the character and degree of the expressiveness of vascular disorders in most of the patients with vibrational disease which is very important for defining the stage of the disease and the assessment of the working capacity in this contingent.

[State of the cerebral and peripheral blood circulation in chronic neurotoxoplasmosis]. / Sostoianie mozgovogo i perifericheskogo krovoobrashcheniia pri khronicheskom neirotoksoplazmoze

In 124 patients with different forms of chronic neurotoxoplasmosis there was an increased tone of brain vessels without signs of a drop in the pulse blood repletion in the arteries of carotid and vertebro-basillar basins. There was also a decrease of the pulse blood repletion in the extremities (mainly in the lower) with a normal or insigficant increase of the tone in the vascular wall. A normalization of the rheographic curves in pharmacological tests and during treatment indicate a functional character of these changes in most of the cases.

[A clinico-physiological study and work capacity evaluation of patients in the late stages of vibration disease]. / Kliniko-fiziologicheskoe izuchenie i ékspertiza trudosposobnosti bol'nykh v pozdnem periode vibratsionnoi bolezni

The authors studied the bioelectroactivity, brain hemodynamics and the state of the nervous-muscular system in 97 patients in the remote period of the vibrational disease. It was established that despite the absence of a contact with vibration most of the patients demonstrated slight general brain changes of an electroactivity in the form of irritation, a disturbance of cerebral hemodynamics. This was expressed in a decrease of blood repletion, an intrahemispheric asymmetry of the blood flux. An analysis of the EMG dopicted a decrease in the general electroactivity and a distrubance in the structure of the EMG. In patients who had a short contact with vibration the above mentioned changes were minimal. The clinico-physiological studies permitted to elaborate the basic principles for the commission of experts in regard to working capacity.
