Study on some reactivity aspects in chronical psychic-organic syndrome.
In the present work, a number of patients with chronic psychic-organic syndromes, with confuse states, with the exaggeration of some personality features during the beginning period of brain atherosclerosis or senility was studied. The anamnestic and psycho-organic syndromes in different dysfunctions degrees, the evolution of dysfunctions with vascular determination, the deficiency of some intelligence compounds were also investigated. We tried to analyse the psychometric results and to distinguish the functional dysfunction from the organic one using Raven's test, Thurstone's scale, WAIS scale and test. We also tried to distinguish the intellectual decrease of medium and deep level. We studied the reactivity, the plasma level of ACTH, ACTH-stimulation test, integrity of the hypophyseo-hypothalamic test. The multitude of results of paraclinical analysis correspond to the multitude of clinical syndromes. These studies are preliminary for a more thorough research of the physiopathology of this kind of patients. The detailed investigation of these patients' specific nature reactivity offers a lot of possibilities used for therapy.
