The aim of this work is to create a methodology for the selection of older patients with a high degree of motivation to manage their disease in COPD. An algorithm for assessing the patient's motivation has been developed, consisting of 2 steps: a motivational interview and a calculation of motivational potential (MP). The interview is conducted using a questionnaire consisting of 4 blocks. Motivational potential is calculated as the sum of the influence contributions of blocks with selected weighting coefficients...

In this article, we present a deep learning model of human psychology that can predict one's current age and future well-being. We used the model to demonstrate that one's baseline well-being is not the determining factor of future well-being, as posited by hedonic treadmill theory. Further, we have created a 2D map of human psychotypes and identified the regions that are most vulnerable to depression. This map may be used to provide personalized recommendations for maximizing one's future well-being.

Musculoskeletal diseases significantly impair the quality of life and work limitation. Purpose: to determine specificities of work limitation dynamic amongst the patients with lower back and lower limbs musculoskeletal disorders grouped by their psychotypes within the outpatient physical therapy. The Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ) was used in the research. The study involved 55 patients who completed a course of physical therapy. The data obtained confirmed the impact of the type of attitude to the disease on all indicators of work limitations according to the WLQ, except for the "Physical Demands" scale...

Bruxism is a jaw muscle activity that involves physio-pathological, psycho-social, hereditary and genetic factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the associations between self-reported bruxism, anxiety, and neuroticism personality trait with the rs6313 polymorphism in the gene HTR2A . A sample of 171 subjects of both sexes (14-53 years of age) was included. The control group (group 1, n=60) exhibited no signs or symptoms of bruxism. The case group had signs and symptoms of bruxism (n=112) and was subdivided into group 2, bruxism during sleep (n=22); group 3, awake bruxism (n=44); and group 4 combined bruxism (n=46)...

Four psychotypes differing by cognitive activity and psychoemotional reactions were distinguished in a population of orchiectomied Wistar rats and in a population of intact animals on the model of a complex cognitive test combined with the free choice method. With similar parameters of cognitive activity, the psychotypes of castrated rats were inferior to those of intact animals by the number of psychoemotional reactions and levels of locomotor activity. Infradian rhythms of spontaneous locomotor activity with a 4-day period were detected in intact and castrated rats...

The author suggests a conception that considers the etiopathogenesis of psychogenic psychosomatic disorders as a chain of interacting factors. The main patterns of it are stressful life events, personality, psychotype, somatotype, systemic/organic deficit. Mechanisms of stable pathological state join this chain into a "vicious circle" of psychosomatosis. Based on the ontogenetic approach, the author suggests a 5-level system of the complex (psychosomatic) treatment of these disorders. The system integrates pharmacological treatment, neuropsychological correction, syndromal psychological correction of alexithymia and emotional sphere, modification of behavior and personality-oriented psychotherapy...

The anaesthetic ketamine is used to treat various chronic pain syndromes, especially those that have a neuropathic component. Low dose ketamine produces strong analgesia in neuropathic pain states, presumably by inhibition of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor although other mechanisms are possibly involved, including enhancement of descending inhibition and anti-inflammatory effects at central sites. Current data on short term infusions indicate that ketamine produces potent analgesia during administration only, while three studies on the effect of prolonged infusion (4-14 days) show long-term analgesic effects up to 3 months following infusion...

Laboratory, clinical, and pathophysiological methods were used to examine servicemen presenting with hyperuricemia. Pronounced hypersympaticotony was accompanied by stabilization of cardiac rhythm. Neurotic personality profile was identified in 48% of the subjects, psychotic in 17.3%, and undefined in 34.6%. The elevated plasma uric acid level was shown to be a factor associated with the neurotic psychotype. There was no correlation between other hematological characteristics and personality psychotype. The examined subjects exhibited high working capacity and level of ambition...

Structural change of northern populations (in constitutions, psychotypes and adaptive types) results from natural selection of people most effectively adapted to the North and readapted ones, i.e. having good adaptive capacity for these specific conditions. Organisms of many immigrants in northern regions in several cases (restricted time for adaptive processes and lack of functional, constitutional or mental reserves) are not able to adapt and function in the condition of increased functional power inputs...

In 228 patients with postinfarction cardiosclerosis and less than 50% left ventricular (LP) ejection fraction (EF), comparative evaluation of the influence of a range of psychopathological neurotic conditions (anxiety, astenia, and depression), and some traditional risk factors on the prognosis of psychotypological personality structure was performed. The end points (EP), non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and cardiac death, were registered two years after the beginning of the study. The study established that the prevalence of neurotic psychic disturbances in postinfarction patients is not associated with the severity of the cardial pathology, evaluated by LVEF measurement, but is significantly higher in representatives of personality psychotypes with cycloidal and, especially, hysteroid structure...

Primary specific characteristics of psychological reactions, typical of the individual and undoubtedly influencing the formation and dynamics of his character, can be defined as "psychological constitution." Experimental study of peculiarities of an individual's set by the method elaborated by D.N. Uznadze and his school was chosen as a way to elicit psychological constitution. The manner in which the subject creates a model of the situation and the rate at which this model is destroyed when it fails to correspond to the perceptual data, appear to be the central question...
