[Psycholinguistic studies of the dreams of children and adolescents with neurotic disorders]. / Psikholingvisticheskoe issledovanie snovidenii detei i podrostkov s nevroticheskimi rasstroistvami.

78 patients with neurotic disorders, 46 patients with cerebral organic pathology (tumors of the brain, epilepsy) and 25 healthy individuals were examined. Their age was 10-17 years. Clinical, paraclinical, experimental-psychologic, psycholinguistic methods were used. Psycholinguistic analysis of the reports concerning the dreams of the children and juveniles was performed by means of original computer system of the analysis of the meaning of the texts and by specially elaborated scheme for categorization of the words. Neurotic patients had a significant quantitative and qualitative peruliarity of speech which reflected stable changes in patients' personality concerning the sphere of meaning.

[Active computer systems for medical education: approach and implementation]. / Aktivnye kompiuternye sistemy dlia meditsinskogo obrazovaniia: podkhod i realizatsiia.

The methodological bases and ways of building and using the new type of the educational computer-aided systems for physicians, the Diagnostic trainer, are discussed in the paper. The user's work on the Diagnostic Trainer proceeds in the form of a game during which the system stimulates clinical cases while the user analyzes them. The Diagnostic Trainer uses its knowledge base for simulations and requires no clinical cases to be prepared beforehand. The Diagnostic Trainer never forces the user to do, but always fixes his/her attention on the available essential points and possible contradictions between the specific clinical case and the user's strategy to make a decision.

[The relationship of analytic to biological variance--consequences for diagnosis and for the choice of laboratory tests]. / Das Verhältnis von analytischer zu biologischer Varianz--Konsequenzen für die Diagnostik und für die Auswahl von Labortests.

The paper deals with the formal dependence of diagnostic efficiency of clinical laboratory methods from analytic error. The parameters of frequency distribution and the estimation of variance of the analytical error are taken into account. This dependence is constructed basing on an universal model for solving classification tasks using error-contaminated data. The diagnostic efficiency is calculated as a function of the variance of analytical error. A comparison of calculated efficiencies with data gained in a special experiment showed a good agreement.
