[Frequency of neurologic-psychiatric findings in the late phase following minor and medium severe blunt craniocerebral injuries].

The authors present a short review of the pertinent literature and report on their own neuropsychiatric findings following internal craniocerebral injuries, at the same time drawing attention to the necessity of psychological examination. Statistical comparisons with the international literature are complicated owing to the different classifications used for craniocerebral injuries.

[Hysterical neurosis and its diagnosis (suggestion for a new hysteria scale].

The contribution deals with the differential diagnostic problem presented by hysterical neurosis. After a review of the literature, the author describes a two-stage diagnostic approach. A selected group of patients with the psychiatric diagnosis "hysterical neurosis" was used to check all questions of the MMPI and the FPI for their specificity in respect of hysteria. Due to numerous overlappings, especially between hypochondria and hysteria, in these inventories it is proposed that a new hysteria scale comprising 54 questions be used to delineate more clearly between these two neuroses.

[Clinical contribution to so-called homilopathy].

Twenty cases are presented as a basis for reopening the discussion concerning the homilopathy concept introduced by Kraepelin. The authors describe three different degrees of expression of the homilopathic syndrome. The investigations suggest that homilopathic impediments are much more common than the usage of the term indicates. Possibilities of therapy and prophylaxis are discussed.

[Changes in psychological performance parameters of concentration and critical flicker-fusion frequency with advancing age and in relation to diffuse cerebral arterial affections of the circulation].

Psychometric performance parameters and the critical flicker-fusion frequency are studied in various groups and in patients with chronic cerebral circulation trouble. Test d2 proves to be effective in the measuring of such impaired performance. There is a higher degree of correlation with Paul's addition test. A correlation between the performance parameters and the patient's age can be statistically substantiated. Among patients up to one third in the age group 55 and over show and affection of the cerebral performance turbances in spite of the absence of pathological clinical findings. The figure is twice as high in the group of patients undergoing treatment. The increased occurrence in old age shows the significance of pathological processes. There appears to be no relationship between critical flicker-fusion frequency and performance and stress factors. Individual correlations would support other physiological relations, such as an at present only hypothetical link with the psychic state (nervousness) of the test person. Our tables are suitable for practical purposes.

[Development of standard psychological values for measuring brain performance at different ages under normal and pathological aspects (author's transl)].

The studies have shown that especially those tests that put the person tested under intense time pressure (d2 test and Pauli test) are suited for detecting diminished brain performance caused by cerebrovascular and other defects. The d2 test has proved to be the most sensitive and at the same time the most economical one (5 min). On the other hand the findings made by Löwe, Eitner et al. show that ageing people suffering from cerebrovascular disease but still able to work should be assigned work that requires a great deal of care rather than work that has to be done under time pressure. The determination of the flicker fusion frequency is seen in literature as a measure of vigilance. But the influences are of a very complex nature. We have found no correlation between the tests conducted by us, the attention test, the concentration pattern test and the Pauli test.

[Etiology and pathogenesis of somnambulism].

The problem of somnambulism is discussed in this paper by reference to the present state of research in this field. A complex of conditions is assumed to underly sleep-walking and be triggered by various factors. Psychic or organic moments may trigger somnambulance if there exists a readiness for this form of reaction. The corpus striatum is assumed to control the overall coordination of stereotypic motor movements, which is made an independently functioning subsystem by certain states of tension in the central nervous system.
