In this study, cases of bolus death in psychiatric patients treated at the Rab-Kampor Psychiatric Hospital, recorded between 1961 and 1995 were retrospectively analyzed. Very careful follow-up of the patient, his nutritional habits, clinical picture and numerous situational factors is an important predictor of the patient`s belonging to the risk group for possible bolus death. Techinical equipment and appropriate staff training and readiness for emergency interventions in case of retained bolus are important for reducition of lethal autcome in cases of food suffication.

S obzirom da je granica bioloske i kronoloske dobi, te s tim u svezi involutivnih promjena, vrlo individualno i gotovo administrativno postavljena, jos je kompleksniji problem razgranicenja fizioloskih od patoloskih psihickih promjena u starosti te njihovog forenzicko-psihijatrijskog znacaja, kako u diajgnostici tako i u terapiji. Imajuci u vidu moguce specificnosti delikvencije starije dobi, napravljena je longitudinalna analiza hospitaliziranih bolesnika na Odjelu za forenzicku psihijatriju Psihijatrijske bolnice Rab, tijekom 12 godina. Cilj rada bio je utvrditi specificnosti forenzicke populacije starije dobi kako bi se mogao planirati, usmjeriti i evaluirati tretman.

Ubrojivost je tzv. subjektivni element kaznene odgovornosti. Ubrojivost je pravna konstrukcija. iz pravnog određenja uocavaju se bitni elementi ciji izostanak u relevantnim okolnostima određuje neubrojivost. Prosudba ubrojivosti u praksi se orijentira prema ucinku mentalnog poremecaja na razlicite kognitivne i voluntativne funkcije te na demonstraciju jasne i direktne posljedicne veze ili odnosa između bihevioralnog ili kognitivnog ostecenje - rezltata mentalnog poremecaja i kaznenog djela. Postavlja se pitanje da li je kategorijalni sustav dijagnoza dovoljna osnova za pravno razmatranje, odeđenja kaznene odgovornosti, buduci da su iste definirane krajnostima u kojima bolesne karakteristike predstavljaju ekstremne ljudske osobine, ili je ipak potrebno prihvatiti cinjenicu da mnoge bolesne osobe pokazuju siroki raspon karakteristika koje se mogu preklapati u vise dijagnostickih kategorija...

Oni su kljucni za kvalitetu života oboljelog pacijenta o kojemu skrbe. Iako skrb za drugu osobu može imati neke pozitivne ucenike na osobu koja ju provodi, kontinuirani pojacani psihofizicki napor i zahtjevi za prilagodbom, nepredvidivost ponasanja osobe oboljele od demencije i nužnost promjene životnog stila mogu imati niz negativnih ucinaka i voditi razvoju somatskih i/ili psihijatrijskih simptoma u skrbnika, narocito, ako izostaje socijalna podrska. Sveobuhvatna skrb o dementnom pacijentu ukljucuje izgradnju suradnickog odnosa između clanova strucnog tima, prvenstveno strucnjaka u podrucju mentalnog zdravlj...

It attempts to define behavioural and bio-genetic aspects of temperament, and the neuroanatomical and biochemical brain network responsible for activation, maintenance and inhibition of behaviour. The basic objective of this research is to establish whether temperament and character act as measures of personalities in psychotic persons on the possibility of committing criminal offences. This study is part of wider prospective clinical research on criminogenetic specificities of psychotic patients treated in the Psychiatric Hospital Rab, Croatia, in the period 2005.-2007. It encompasses 122 patients of male gender, up to 60 years of age, treated with the diagnosis paranoid schizophrenia (F20.0; MKB-10), of which half (n = 61; test group) with committed criminal offe...

Detailed analysis of all anamnestic and hetero-anamnestic data as well as the observations during the treatment separated few significant patterns of self-destructive behaviour of various intensity and different possible consequences. The results showed out that within the first group of patients with self-destructive behaviour was noticed a significant increased number of younger age patients who were diagnosed with personality disorder especially borderline and antisocial type.

Pharmacotherapy of comorbidity requires the use of a greater number of different drugs that have complex drug-drug interactions and drug-patient interactions which can cause various side-effects in the patient. The basic moral questions that justify the applied psychopharmacotherapy are the patient's welfare and preference, optimal relationship between risk and gain for the patient, and some include cost benefit as well.
