[Pupillary reactions in neurotic disorders].

For the differentiation of neurotic disorders, the indices of pupilary reactions and hippus were studied. The study was performed with the aid of a pupillograph. A comparison of the pupillographic data in patients with borderline neurotic disorders of the 3 main groups (asthenic, obsessive-phobic and hysterical), demonstrated statistically significant differences in the control group and within the group with different forms of neurotic disorders. The quantitive and informative characteristics of the pupilary reactions and some regular tendencies in the characteristic of the hippus may help in the solution of one of the main problems of borderline psychiatry, an improved diagnosis.

Adult

[Comparative electroencephalographic studies of stutterers on the basis of neurotic disorders and on the basis of organic lesions of the central nervous system].

The paper contains information regarding EEG registration in stuttering patients from 20-35 years of age. In 55 cases stuttering was found against the background of neurotic disorders, in 39--accompanied by residual signs of organic brain lesions. In the first group there was a tendency towards an acceleration of the rhythms and desynchronization of the EEG activity which reached normal levels during the treatment period. The patients of the second group demonstrated a stable tendency towards a synchronization of activity, slower rhythms with pathological activity of a bilateral--synchronous character and theta-rhythm in the central parietal areas.

Brain

[Neurotic disorders in monkeys during increased stress on analytic-synthetic processes].

It has been shown in experiments on three rhesus monkeys that an enhanced stress of analytical-synthetic processes consisting in learning to differentiate a sequence of tones, leads to neurotic disorders of monkeys higher nervous activity. They are manifested individually and consist in disturbances of general behaviour, in forced movements, breakdowns of differentiations, the missing of positive responses in the previously elaborated conditioned stereotype and in typical dynamics of the formation of positive and negative conditioned reflexes to a chain of tones (2000 + + 4000 c/s; 2000 + 2000 c/s; 4000 + 2000 c/s; 4000 + 4000 c/s).

Controlled comparison of day-hospital and outpatient treatment for neurotic disorders.

106 patients with anxiety, phobic, and depressive neuroses referred to the outpatient clinics of 6 psychiatrists were randomly assigned to outpatient care or two forms of psychiatric day care. Ratings of symptoms and social adjustment were recorded before treatment and after 4 and 8 months in 89 patients. There were no important differences in the outcome of day care and outpatient treatment although patients were more satisfied with the outpatient service. Because outpatient care is more economical of time and personnel it should be preferred to psychiatric day care for many neurotic disorders.

Ambulatory Care

[Incidence and significance of anamnestically indicated neurotic disorders in young applicants for flight training].

The histories of 17 years old clinically normal subjects show that 10% of them had functional disturbances or abnormalities in behaviour which are not to be considered as indications of latent neurotic development. Significant differences in EEG, size distribution, and reaction of the circulatory system during psycho-emotional stress (low-pressure chamber testing) may indicate a disharmonious physical maturation with increased disposition to circulatory lability and psychological abnormalities. The good intellectual performances and the favourable prognosis with regard to flight training are reasons for not disqualifying this group of applicants.
