(1) The independence of the amentive syndrome is also grounded by clinico-pathological data (EEG and biochemical).
(2) It is demonstrated that the amentive syndrome in such cases has certain nozological information, which facilitates significantly a differential diagnosis.
(3) Among 97 patients studied 25 showed amentive states.
(4) They were expressed in atypical delirious, delirio-amentive and amentive conditions.
(5) Two patients were still amented and often attacked by myoclonus.
(6) Pathogenetic possibilities of uremic toxicosis, depending upon the intensity and severity of which the amentive symptomatology may develop in different ways is discussed.
(7) Out of 908 patients with sepsis treated at the Republican Antisepsis Center, 19 presented with different schizophrenia syndromes (2 with acute delirium, 3 with encephalic manifestations, 3 with the amentive-catatonic form, the remainder with the amentive-depressive form).
(8) On selected case-histories the most frequent difficulties are demonstrated--ament conditions, depressive syndrome and attempts to find an optimal preparation before hospitalisation of old people.
(9) Histological sections and impression smears (AMENT) of intestinal mucosa biopsies have been proved to be the most reliable method for detecting giardiasis.
(10) The paper concerns the results of 30 years of investigations of the Kiev Research Institute of Neurosurgery into correlations between syndromes of mental activity reduction (coma, stupor, global and lacunar dementias, Alzheimer-like and Pick-like syndromes, personality changes by the frontal type, stable neurosis-like conditions, Korsakov's syndrome, disturbed consciousness by the amentive type) in patients with organic brain lesions and objectively recordable changes in cerebral hemodynamics.
(11) The paper contains some results of a clinico-psychopathological analysis of the amentive syndrome in patients with nephrogenic psychoses.
(12) On the basis of long-term clinical observations of patients with amentive states within the framework of somatogenic, infectious, intoxicational, vascular exogenous-organic, reactive and schizophrenic psychoses the author attempts to claim the nosological independence of the amentive syndrome.
(13) The dynamical clinical picture of psychosis may include during one of the stages of its development a delirious-amentive syndrome, short-time amentive states and oniric experiences.
