Electrophysiologic studies of alcohol dependent patients

Electrophysiological methods were used to examine 52 ward patients with a long history of alcohol abuse. Alertness fluctuations were much more common in the EEG than among the healthy control subjects. 86.5% of the ENG findings were abnormal and indicated demyelinisation in most cases. The latence times of the brain stem potentials were longer than normal in about half of the patients and were definitely pathological in 13.5%. There was no statistical correlation between drinking habits and the results of the examination. Unknown pathogenetic factors are therefore suspected. The polytopic pattern of damage necessitates the use of a broad range of signostic techniques.     

The Marxist-Leninist concept of personality and its significance for the integration of psychiatric patients

The Marxist view of man as the "ensemble of social relations" is a prerequisite for understanding the personality of the mentally handicapped. The dialectic relationship between biological and social events permits the conclusion that restrictedly developed versions of the personality must be accepted as natural. The particular obligation of society is to ensure the all-round integration, encouragement and care of such handicapped persons. The task of the medical fraternity is to establish a comprehensive system to prevent such handicaps.     

Neurophysiologic findings in chronic alcohol abuse

Neurophysiological examinations of 100 long term alcohol dependent patients who were having neuropsychiatric treatment, showed symptoms of polytopic damage of the peripheral and central nervous system. The results show that for recognition of the damage an extensive diagnostic programme must be used.
