Summary: Diagnostics of psychological disturbances is based on
knowledgeof normal psychological life and psycho pathological changes
aswell as on the knowledge of biological and social influences on
adetermined person. Separate monitoring of psychological functionsin real
life ins almost impossible. In fact, the wholepsychosomatic reaction is an
entirety. Based on these principlesthe World Health Organization classifies
alcoholism as a deseaseand its withdrawal syndrome, delirium tremens and
other alcoholicpsychoses, as complications of this disease. among these
threeclinical entities there is such a significant cause-consequencelink
that considerations of the ethiology of this group ofdiseases cannot be
separated from the analysis of the causes andconsequences of alcoholism.
Latest literature on this field is reviewed in this paper.Statistical data
on the occurrence of alcoholic psychoses in therecords of the University
Department of Neurology, Psychiatry,Alcoholism and Other Dependencies of
"Dr.M.Stojanović" UniversityHospital , Zagreb during a 10 year period are
also presented.Theoretical considerations of psychiatric complications
ofalcoholism from pharmacodynamic, biologic and sociologicalaspects are
also reviewed.

Summary: In order to get better insight in cognitive functions
andhaemodynamic changes in mayor depression, 35 patient wereexamined by
means of ERP and TCD. The severity of depression wasgraded on Hamilton
depression rating scale. The results haveshown significantly diminished
mean amplitudes and prolongedlatencies of P300 at all electrode
registration points indepressive patients, compared to normal (p).
Statisticallysignificant decreasing of cerebral blood flow velocities
werealso observed in depressive patients, compared to normalcontrols.
These disturbances are significantly connected with cognitiveevaluation of
stimulus, as a second stage of perceptualprocessing. Significant changes in
P300 amplitude and latency areassociated with some changes in cerebral
blood flow velocities indepressive patients.

Summary: Brainsteam auditory evoked potentials (BAER) abnormalities
ofwaves IV-V were reported mostly in patients having upper pontineor mid
brain lesions (Starr and Hamilton, 1976; Howard andRositer, 1977).
Straummanis et al. found longer BAER latenciesand lower amplitudes of waves
II and III in chronic marijuana(THC) users. The aim of this study was to
determine whether therewere any evident brain dysfunctions in heroin
addicts, (accordingto DSM-III-R criteria), with the mean age 27 (+-3.6) and
meanduration of addiction 3 years, and thirty normal, healthysubjects of
approximately same age were taken in the study. Alladdicts and all
controls were tested by means of delivering theclick stimuli, of 0.1 ms
duration, presented monoaurally at 10and 20 Hz stimulation rate (60 dB
NHL) with piezoelectricearphone. The contra lateral ear was masked with
white noise of30 dB lower intensity than that of the click, and 2000
sweepswere averaged twice for each polarity in Neuroscience
Neuromappersystem. Bipolar recordings were taken between the
ipsilateralearlobe and the vertex. absolute wave latencies I-IV and I-V
andpeak-to-peak amplitudes of waves I and V were analyzed. Theresults of
the two groups were compared by means of One-wayAnova. The results of BAER
variables in the group of drug addictswere abnormal and proved to be of
longer latencies and loweramplitudes compared to those of the normal
controls. Patientswith longer dependency duration proved to have longer
interpeaklatency III-V and lower amplitude of the wave V.

Summary: We compared 42 patients diagnosed as maior depression
(group A)with 45 schizophrenic patients (group B). Differences betweenthese
two groups of patients concerning the biochemicalparameters as well as
characteristics of evoked endogenepotentials (ERP) were analyzed. The
results have shown that theblood levels of serotonin, prolactin and 24
hours concentrationof 5-HIAA are rather low in the group A, especially in
thosepatients with strong suicidal tendencies. Opposite results havebeen
observed in the group B which are similar to the findingobserved during the
manic phase of bipolar affective disorder. Astatistical significant
decrease of amplitude P 300 and prolongedlatency have been found in the
patients from group A. In theschizophrenic patients the P 300 amplitude
were heterogeneous,but with predominantly decreased tendency and
withoutprolongation of latency, suggesting some changes in
precognitionprocess.

Summary: The origin of MID is still controversial. The impairment of
CVRmay be responsible for MID progression. Therefore, 45 patientswith MID
(according to DSM-III-R Hachinski score +7) wereanalyzed by psychological
rating scales (FMMS, GBS, SCAG) andTranscranial Doppler (TCD) with
acetazolamide (AZT) test. Theresults shawed the impaired TCD findings in
all patients beforeAZT stimulation, indicating vascular origin of disease.
After AZTstimulation the reduced cerebral vasoreactivity was observed
inpatients with moderate and severe mental deterioration, SCAG+56,GBS+52
and FMMS-25 (p-0.01). indicating exhausted CVR, possiblydue to reduced
metabolic brain demands. In conclusion, AZT testcombined with TCD is
helpful in clarifying the hemodinamic originof MID.

Summary: Patients with diagnosis of depressive psychosis were
studied.They suffered from a clinically severe form of
depression,requesting in-patient treatment.
This group of male patients was admitted to the Department ofClinical
Psychiatry of "Dr.M.Stojanović" University Hospital fromJune 1988 till the
end of June 1989.
In total, 42 patients were examined by a battery of clinical andlaboratory
tests.
The results of the Study indicated that the results of somebiochemical
tests - such as 5-HIAA in the 24 hour urine, bloodserotonin level, blood
prolactin level - were close to thelowered values of the laboratory
standards, and in correlationwith the Hamiltons depressive scale and Becks
depressionquestionnaire, they take the position, in the distribution of
thefindings, of high depression scale. The findings were incorrelation with
the severity of the depressive picture of thedisease.

Summary: This is a study of clinical and biochemical disturbances
inalcoholics with clinical picture of withdrawal syndrome anddelirium
tremens treated in the Intensive Care Unit of"Dr.M.Stojanović" University
Hospital, Zagreb. Two groups werestudied, each numbering 30 examinees aged
from 20 to 65 years,one including the cases with delirium tremens and the
other thosewith withdrawal syndrome.
The frequency of the following parameters: hypoglycemia,alkalosis,
acidosis, erytropenia, decreased significantly greaterin patients with the
clinical picture of delirium tremens inrelation to those with withdrawal
syndrome.
The prognosis of delirium tremens is significantly improvedthanks to the
intensive care and administration ofpsychopharmaca. Mortality is decreased
to minimum and in thestudied groups there were no lethal cases.
