Correlating tBe data of toposelective mapping of electrical brain activity in patients witB transitional global amnesia (TGA) and in patients of control group witB discirculatory encephalopathy revealed that type IV curves prevail in patients with TGA (44%), and type I (44%) and III (28%) in patients of control group. Besides, in patients of the main group the mean value of slow to fast activity index in the left occipital region is certainly smaller, and the mean alpha-rythm value of peak frequency in the right occipital region is certainly greater than in patients of the control group. It is the authors' opinion that the revealed distinctions can point to the involvement of deep-seated brain structures and mediobasal regions of frontal and temporal lobes in pathologic process of TGA.

Level of spontaneous POL (over the accumulation of malonic dialdegid and dienic conjugates) and activity of antioxidational ferments of glutationreductase and glutationperoxidase, and also passive transport of Ca²⁺ in erythrocytes allowed to discover that the level of spontaneous POL was high along with lowering of activity of glutation-containing ferments and Ca²⁺ accumulation in erythrocytes. High activity of POL, lowering of activity of physiological antioxidational system, accumulation of Ca²⁺ in erythrocytes are considered by the authors as violation of cytomembranous homeostasis in the present group of patients.

The results of clinicopsychopathological examination of 200 men against whom legal proceedings were instituted for sex offences were presented. Common for them were perceptual disturbances in the form of dere alization, states of "deja vu" and "jamais vu", decrease or complete disappearance of perception stimuli of every modality; disorientation in space and time, own persona lity; disturbance of associative sphere; speech and motor automatism; disturbance of memory in the form of hy permnesia, "dissociation" amnesia etc. 5 kinds of state of disturbance of consciousness were distinguished those resembling "special'' Gurevich states of consciousness, dissociative disturbance .of consciousness in the form of trance, with diencephalic symptomatology prevalence, twilight states, affectively narrowed disturbance of consciousness.

Kimmerle's anomaly is understood as a violation of the shape of the sulcus of the posterior arch of the atlas, in which the vertebral artery and the first spinal cortex are located, shock. The extreme expression of this anomaly is the transformation of the furrow into a closed ring.

International classification of headaches, cranial neuralgia and facial pain, migraine, tension headaches.

X-ray diagnostics of brain tumors is described in sufficient detail in the literature [1,2,3,4]. The advantage in detecting indirect changes in the bones of the skull in brain tumors still remains with the usual X-ray examination. Even a standard craniographic examination provides a lot of information.

Each person with all the complex set of personal characteristics is in close contact with the environment, called by EN Haeckel [10] ecology. Therefore, it is impossible to carry out the entire complex of medical and social rehabilitation of patients in isolation from the environment. As for patients with neuropsychiatric diseases, the optimization of their social functioning is impossible without the inclusion of positive environmental factors in the therapeutic program.

The history of the life and work of Aleksey Vasilyevich Favorsky is the path of becoming a bright personality, a neurologist - from a resident student to a professor and head of the Department of Nervous Diseases of Kazan University and GIDUV, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Kazan University.

The monograph of Doctor of Medical Sciences V.D. Mendelevich is addressed to novice doctors and medical students on probation in the field of psychiatry. It is written in the form of a clinical guideline, which required the author of an appropriate approach to the selection of material and the development of a presentation style in which the results of research (both known and his own) are maximally unified and schematized.
