At present, clinical practice guidelines rooted in evidence-based medicine are being developed. This means that validated instruments of experimental psychological diagnostics should be used. In the present review, we identify ten instruments used in international practice. After discussing their strengths and weaknesses we can recommend four instruments for diagnosing gender dysphoria and gender incongruence: Transgender Congruence Scale, Trans Collaborations Clinical Check-In (TC3), Gender Congruence and Life Satisfaction Scale, and Utrecht Gender Dysphoria Scale Gender Spectrum (UDGS-GS). Six instruments are recommended for prescribing psychotherapy aimed to help the patients accept their gender identity and build resilience: Transgender Congruence Scale, Gender Identity Reflection and Rumination Scale, Gender Preoccupation and Stability Questionnaire, Trans Collaborations Clinical Check-In (TC3), Gender Congruence and Life Satisfaction Scale, and Transgender Identity Survey. At the same time, we do not recommend two widely used instruments Utrecht Gender Dysphoria Scale (classical version) and Gender Identity/Gender Dysphoria Questionnaire for Adolescents and Adults due to their inapplicability to gender non-binary individuals and those in the process of gender transition. In the article we also discuss issues related to differential diagnostics in the context of ICD-11, as well as peculiarities of using diagnostic scales with gender non-binary individuals, intersex people and detransitioners.","PeriodicalId":436189,"journal":{"name":"Neurology Bulletin","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127060555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mitrofanov","doi":"10.17816/nb108707","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17816/nb108707","url":null,"abstract":"A clinical case of Stanislav G., 18 years old, an IT-specialist, who underwent therapy in a psychiatric hospital in connection with a schizotypal disorder diagnosed in him, is described. After a month, the patient admitted that he was feigning a mental disorder, because he could not receive effective treatment for the vegetative symptoms of hypothyroidism diagnosed in him, and began an intensive search for the psychopathological causes of his own illness. He believed that he had some signs of schizotypal disorder, but they were not enough to make an official diagnosis and receive the desired psychopharmacotherapy. For persuasiveness, he studied on the Internet the anamnesis of patients and decided to simulate elements of reasoning, emasculation of associations and a distorted perception of the interlocutors words, flattening of affect. On re-examination after claiming the sham, it was concluded that he did not have the listed symptoms and that there was no scientific evidence to support any psychiatric diagnosis. Doubts in the analysis were only caused by the patients motivation to simulate psychopathology in the absence of traditional grounds for malingering (criminal prosecution, military service), and excessive intellectualization of health problems and a specific style of thinking that did not go beyond the norm. The article discusses the question of whether the patient had symptoms of schizotypal disorder and, if so, whether they could completely stop in a short period of time. The article provides substantiations for the conclusion about the detection of feigning behavior in the patient, and provides data on the differential diagnosis between the malingering of a healthy person and pseudo-simulation in schizotypal disorder, as well as observations on the specifics of the mental activity of persons with schizoid personality disorder and Aspergers syndrome diagnoses assumed in the examined.","PeriodicalId":436189,"journal":{"name":"Neurology Bulletin","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121314208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dnov","doi":"10.17816/nb107881","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17816/nb107881","url":null,"abstract":"BACKGROUND. Hypnotherapy is one of the treatments for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). \u0000AIM. Meta-analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness of its use and to identify the most optimal conditions for its implementation. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS. We analyzed Scientific medical databases PubMed, EMBASE, eLibrary for the period from 2005 to 2022. Studies performed on adult samples of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of IBS on the basis of Rome IIIV with a control group were selected. Included studies were analyzed for risks of bias and publication bias. Clinical efficacy was assessed by comparing data on gastrointestinal symptoms reduction and psychological condition. A subgroup analysis was used to compare the effectiveness of group and individual hypnotherapy, as well as the number of sessions conducted. \u0000RESULTS. Nine studies (867 patients) were included in the final meta-analysis. Hypnotherapy was significantly more effective in reducing gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with IBS compared to controls (SMD=0.25 [95% CI 0.020.49], I2=53%, p=0.03), with positive effects persisting up to one year (SMD=0.34 [95% CI 0.070.60], p=0.01). Hypnotherapy resulted in an equalization of the psychological distress (MD=1.09 [95% CI from 1.27 to 3.44], p=0.37), but the results were not significant. Group hypnotherapy (SMD=0.35 [95% CI 0.010.70], p=0.05) and higher amount of hypnotherapy sessions during treatment (SMD=0.35 [95% CI 0.140.57], p=0.001) were more effective. \u0000CONCLUSION. Based on the results of this systematic review, it is fair to assume that the most effective use of hypnotherapy in patients with IBS, including those with therapy-resistant forms, is more than 7 sessions of group hypnotherapy more than once a week with a minimum session time of 45 minutes.","PeriodicalId":436189,"journal":{"name":"Neurology Bulletin","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132953998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The treatment of chronic tension headache mainly includes pharmacological methods, but the frequent side effects of medications and the presence of contraindications in some categories of patients determine the relevance of the search for alternative methods. One of them is the use of soft techniques of manual therapy with an impact on the myofascial structures of the head and cervical spine. \u0000AIM. To determine the effectiveness of manual therapeutic use in patients with chronic tension headache. \u0000MATERIAL AND METHODS. The clinical study was conducted in the period from 2019 to 2021. The study involved 49 patients with chronic tension headache, who were divided into 2 groups: the main (37 participants) and control (12 participants). In the main group, patients received 3 manual therapy sessions. In the control group, patients received drug therapy. After 1month and 6 months, the intensity, frequency of headache, the amount of drugs taken, and the effect of headache on work ability were assessed. Statistical processing was performed using the IBM SPSS software. The Friedman test and the Kendall coefficient of concordance were used; the Wilcoxon test and signs were used for the significance of the shift. The results of the data were taken as significant at p 0.05. \u0000RESULTS. After the therapy in the main group of strong intensity headaches decreased 6 times (p 0.05). The number of patients with an insignificant effect of headache on work ability increased 2 times (p 0.05), there were patients (21.6%) whose headache did not influence with their ability to work, while the differences were significant (p 0.05).There was a decrease in the frequency of headache attacks in more than half of the patients (62%) and for 4 times decrease of the number of painkillers (p 0.01).

Based on correlation analysis, to determine the association between hypomimia, general manifestations of hypokinesia and the quality of life in patients with Parkinsons disease as well as to evaluate the influence of therapy with L-DOPA pharmaceuticals on hypomimia. \u0000MATERIAL AND METHODS. Clinical aspects of hypomimia were studied in 30 patients with stage 1.53.0 PD according to Hoehn and Yahr Rating Scale. The mean age of the patients was 69. Analysis of hypomimia was carried out using a proprietary method of computer video-analysis of facial muscle movement in performance of 6 tests: smiling, drawing of the letter O, winking, eyebrow raising, frowning and text reading. The gait function was assessed using the laser analyser of kinematic parameters of gait. Mean step length, step time and gait velocity were evaluated. Manifestations of general hypokinesia were analysed via the Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale licensed by the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society. Statistical processing of the data was performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 23 software package. The Wilcoxon test and the Spearmans correlation coefficient were used. The statistical significance level was set at p 0.05. \u0000RESULTS. The correlation between the degree of hypomimia and the severity of general hypokinesia has been confirmed, which determines the prospect in objective analysis of mimics as a possible screening test for general hypokinesia. We have obtained data confirming the association between hypomimia and general hypokinesia: in particular, step time, step length and gait velocity. \u0000CONCLUSION. While using the proprietary method of objective hypomimia diagnosis, we have revealed the presence of correlation between manifestations of hypomimia and general hypokinesia.

To this day, relatively little is known about the specifics and mechanisms by which psychological factors, such as a general tendency to anger and the style of expressing anger, can be associated with pro-inflammatory processes and visceral hypersensitivity, which contribute to the appearance of signs of irritable bowel syndrome and lead to its refractory course. \u0000AIM. The purpose of the work. to identify the specifics of differences in the presence and severity of depression, anxiety, anger expression and satisfaction with the quality of life in women (average age 39.210.6) with refractory IBS of constipated, diarrheal and mixed types (duration of the disease 33.848.1 months), based on the hypothesis that women with different types of IBS may have different styles of expressing negative emotions (for example, anger) and ways of controlling behavior. \u0000MATERIAL AND METHODS. PHQ-15 Patient Health Questionnaire-15; GAD-7 General Anxiety Disorder-7; PHQ-9 Patient Health Questionnaire-9; IBS-QOL Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality of Life; STAXI StateTrait Anger Expression Inventory. \u0000RESULTS. Correlations between subtypes of IBS and negative aspects of the emotional sphere are observed and it is shown that subtypes of IBS-C and IBS-D demonstrate affective profiles characterized by a higher level of anxiety, depression and changes in the expression of anger with difficulties of expression both verbally and nonverbally. All types are characterized by autoaggression, suppression of anger, but these aspects are more pronounced in IBS-D and IBS-C. There is intense control of anger expression. With IBS-C and IBS-M, there is greater control over the expression of anger externally than with IBS-D. Women with IBS-C have more pronounced indicators of anger as a mental state. There are difficulties in verbal expression of anger, hetero- and autoaggression. Anger is a trait of character and is included in the structure of temperament. Women with IBS-D have pronounced indicators of anger as a reaction to a current life event, autoaggression, anger control inside. The level of affect somatization, the presence and severity of generalized anxiety disorder, depression, changes in life satisfaction are among the predictors that determine both the level of anger and the ways of its expression. \u0000CONCLUSION. Intestinal motility can be considered as an indicator of behavior control, as an indicator of the regulatory function of the patient, the intensity of affective involvement in a particular situation.
