[In a controlled follow-up catamnestic study (Budapest 2000) of endogenous psychoses (n=228), predictive factors were measured in relation to five catamnestic factors (including one factor representing pure social adjustment disorders) in the whole patient population, and then differentiated according to different classifications. We found that the predictive role of some factors is inversely related along different disease dimensions, and the predictive significance of many factors is nozo or group-specific, often in contrast to or enriching the predictive significance in the whole patient population. Because of its theoretical and practical significance, we highlight the differential predictive significance of psychosis or abnormal personality trait burden, the small but positive predictive significance of ES treatment, the role of long-term neuroleptic therapy in reducing delirium but increasing inhibition and depression, and the large and differential predictive significance of bipolar type I course. Syndromes of index psychosis are often persistent, but not infrequently predict a polar shift in different groups. We have drawn a network of predictive correlations of the pathological dimensions varying within different disease categories based on path analyses. ]
[The author compares the results of arterial vertebral arteriography in 35 patients with vertebrobasilar circulatory insufficiency secondary to uncovertebral arthrosis with the data of selective arterial vertebral regression using the Pratesi method. The clinical picture of the patients showed symptoms of cervical encephalic syndrome. In 7 patients, arteriography showed no abnormal morphology, pathomechanically considered as a consequence of periarterial autonomic plexus irritation, in 15 patients various forms of atheromalacia, in 8 patients extravascular vascular compression, in 5 patients intravascular vascular stenosis were confirmed by arteriography. Rheography showed abnormal morphology in all cases, with 27 cases showing a marked reduction in circulation during head rotations (1/10 of the original "baseline" circulation), and 5 cases with no reduction in circulation during changes in head position. In 2 cases the basal circulation was very low (below 1/10 of the mean basal circulation of the 35 patients), in 1 case the decrease in relative pulse volume measured/calculated during vertebral artery compression was significant. He concludes from his studies that clinically correlated arterial vertebral rheography is sensitive to circulatory changes due to different morphological and/or functional causes. ]
[The authors have established the significance of the corneo-mandibular reflex in 62 cases of primary or secondary brainstem lesions and consider it a valuable sign in establishing a localization diagnosis. It is distinguished from the so-called liberation reflexes and, unlike these, the occurrence of this reflex has not been shown to be characteristic in Parkinson's syndrome or senile dementia. In the opinion of the authors, the so-called slow form of the reflex indicates a ponto-mesencephalic lesion, indicating damage to the cortico-bulbar, cortico-reticular connections. ]
