[Endocrine syndromes in schizophrenia in the light of pathologoanatomic studies].
A study of the endocrine profile (all glands of endocrine secretion) in 33 cases of schizophrenia, where the autopsy was performed not later than 6 hours after death, permitted the author to distinguish 4 syndromes: normal functional activity (24%), hypofunction (30%), the stress-syndrome (33%) and dysfunction (12%). It is stressed that their formation is effected by several factors: the age of the patient, duration of illness, medication, cause of death, etc. The found changes in the glands are less severe in comparison to the previously described changes seen in senile dementia. These changes are considered in the aspect of pathomorphosis of schizophrenia.
