There was established an individual profile of functional interhemispheric asymmetry (IPFA) and determined its dynamics in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Investigation showed that right and predominantly right individual IPFA were more frequent in patients with Parkinson’s disease. With accumulation of left-sided asymmetry there was noticed a decrease of non-motor function. In the dynamics this asymmetry changes due to motor function in patients with a predominance of symptoms of PD on the side with the dominant limb.

Study of the major manifestations of the syndrome of intracranial hypertension in 94 children aged 1 month to 1 year with perinatal CNS pathology showed that the majority of children who had cerebral ischemia in infancy with clinical signs of the syndrome and neurosonographic intracranial hypertension disorders have qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the Sleep disorders. Found disorders predicted emergence of the classic symptoms of intracranial hypertension, such as regurgitation, startle, throwing the head during sleep, etc.

The article represents analysis of the results of the investigation on the structure of anticipation opulence in the 100 students with high level of perfectionism. The correlative relationship between the anticipation opulence and various anticipation opulence of perfectionism was revealed. The results of this study allow examining the anticipation opulence as one of the criteria of student’s constructive perfectionism.

There was studied the role of endothelin - nitroxidergic reactions of circulation in ischemic stroke. There were found the elevated content of endothelin -1, the reduction of the levels of persistent metabolites of nitric oxide and the changes in parameters of tissue oxygenation that have been correlated with severity of disease and the degree of neurological deficit. There are expressed changes in nitroxide - and endotelinergic reactions of the circulatory system, contributing to the progression of ischemic stroke.

On the basis of the analysis of clinical data and retrospective assessment of efficacy of previous treatment in 88 patients with alcohol dependence “Alcoholism Malignancy Coefficient» (AMC) was developed. The higher AMC, the more malignant is alcohol dependence. Usage of this coefficient is a relatively simple tool for quantitative assessment of the severity of alcoholism progression both for individual work with the patients and for screening examination.

In the article questions of phenomenology of intuition and anticipation, with their relationship and interrelations are considered. The presented review of scientific literature shows prospects of studying of intuition and anticipation as a significant etiologic and pathogenetic factor of development of some forms of mental pathology. Special relevance is presented by researches in the least developed section of this area: clinical psychology and psychiatry.

Harm reduction strategy does not see complete abstinence as the only goal of treatment. Unreadiness for immediate rejection of alcohol consumption should not be a barrier to helping to reduce the negative effects of alcohol abuse, especially in cases where the standard treatments do not produce the expected results. Such an approach is consistent with the behavioral patterns of dependence and provides more treatment options, which would otherwise not be used.

The characteristics of contemporary addictions are described and their difference from addictions in the traditional society. The new combined process-chemical addiction in women is revealed.

There were summarized data on the principal methods of fine motor skills recovery after injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system of a hand and CNS. Disorders of fine motor skills in adults are of great social importance in relation to hand injuries of various etiologies. Recovery time, indications for use and effectiveness of hardware technologies are discussed. The detailed description of the new modular biofeedback technology of recovery of fine motor skills in exercise equipment Leonardo (Chinesport, Italy), combining the advantages of manual and machine methods of rehabilitation, is presented. Small size and “friendly” design allow using exercise equipment Leonardo at all stages of medical rehabilitation; but to create definitive records of recovery of fine motor skills in adult patients with hand injuries it is necessary to conduct additional multicenter studies.
