Diagnosis And Classification

The issues of diagnosis and classification of diseases are given priority. This is understandable, since each classification reflects the level of our knowledge and ideas about the pathogenesis of the disease for a certain period of time. The classification of diseases, therefore, is a kind of tool that helps practitioners navigate the diverse clinical picture of the same disease and correctly conduct the diagnostic algorithm. Ultimately, the classification of the disease, based on current pathogenesis data, provides practical assistance to the doctor in matters of both diagnosis and therapeutic tactics of the disease.

This chapter discusses the symptomatology, diagnosis, and classification of depression. It begins with a brief historical background on depression, tracing its origins to the classical term ‘melancholia’ that describes symptoms and signs now associated with modern concepts of the condition. It then considers the phenomenology of the modern experience of depression, its diagnosis in the operational scheme of ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition), and current classificatory schemes. It looks at the symptoms needed to meet the criteria for ‘depressive episode’ in ICD-10, as well as clinical features of depression with ‘melancholic’ features or ‘somatic depression’ in ICD-10. It also presents an outline of the clinical assessment of an episode of depression before concluding with an overview of issues that need to be taken into account when addressing approaches to treatment, including cognitive behavioural therapy and the administration of antidepressants.

Currently, there is no generally accepted terminology and classification of vasculitis and vascular cutaneous disorders. In Russia there are various approaches to the classification of cutaneous vasculitis vascular lesions are classified according to clinical signs, etiology and pathogenesis. Significant difficulties are caused by the lack of a unified terminology, clear diagnostic criteria for vasculitis and the existence of a large number of duplicate names, among which there are many eponymous terms. This issue is one of the most complex, confusing and debatable not only in dermatovenereology, but also in other disciplines. Modern principles of diagnosis of cutaneous vasculitis are based on an integrated assessment of the data of the disease history, clinical picture, laboratory and instrumental methods of examination. For standardization of definitions and diagnostic criteria, it is necessary, first of all, to adopt a unified interdisciplinary classification of vasculitis, which will be based on the etiopathogenetic principle. The applied unified classification of cutaneous vasculitis is proposed for discussion.

Aim. Study of clinical and psychopathological characteristics in women with sexual dysfunctions and mental disorders of the psychotic level. Material and methods. Clinical-psychopathological and sexological methods were used in the work. The results were processed using the licensed program Statistica 10.0 for Windows. At the first stage, 134 women (mean age 43.115.3 years) were examined who had inpatient treatment in the department for persons with non-psychotic mental disorders. At the second stage, the study involved 89 women (mean age 35.212.2 years), who were diagnosed with sexual dysfunctions. Results. Clinical and psychopathological indicators were studied, clinical, psychopathological and sexological analysis of sexual dysfunctions in women with non-psychotic mental disorders was carried out, taking into account the diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Diseases-10. Three groups of patients were identified: (1) a group of women with sexual dysfunctions caused by non-psychotic mental disorders; (2) a group of patients in whom non-psychotic mental disorders were formed against the background of primary sexual pathology; (3) a group of patients in whom non-psychotic mental disorders accompany sexual dysfunctions. Conclusions. Sexual disorders in the studied groups are characterized by the predominance of libido disorder in the first group and the second group, as well as the predominance of dyspareunia in the third. There were no significant differences in the duration of sexual dysfunctions in the groups, which must be taken into account when choosing therapeutic and rehabilitation measures.

Abstract: Voyeuristic disorder is defined as a condition in which a person experiences persistent (at least 6 months), recurrent, and intense sexual arousal from observing an unsuspecting person who is naked, disrobing, or engaging in sexual activity, as manifested by fantasies, urges, or behaviors. The prevalence of true voyeuristic disorder is estimated to be as high as 12% in men and 4% in women. This chapter discusses the Fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and International Classification of Diseases diagnostic criteria for voyeuristic disorder, in addition to its diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. The recent literature on these topics is reviewed.

ABSTRACT Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a neurodegenerative clinical syndrome characterized primarily by progressive language impairment. Recently, consensus diagnostic criteria were published for the diagnosis and classification of variants of PPA. The currently recognized variants are nonfluent/agrammatic (PPA-G), logopenic (PPA-L) and semantic (PPA-S). Objective: To analyze the demographic data and the clinical classification of 100 PPA cases. Methods: Data from 100 PPA patients who were consecutively evaluated between 1999 and 2012 were analyzed. The patients underwent neurological, cognitive and language evaluation. The cases were classified according to the proposed variants, using predominantly the guidelines proposed in the consensus diagnostic criteria from 2011. Results: The sample consisted of 57 women and 43 men, aged at onset 67.2±8.1 years (range of between 53 and 83 years). Thirty-five patients presented PPA-S, 29 PPA-G and 16 PPA-L. It was not possible to classify 20% of the cases into any one of the proposed variants. Conclusion: It was possible to classify 80% of the sample into one of the three PPA variants proposed. Perhaps the consensus classification requires some adjustments to accommodate cases that do not fit into any of the variants and to avoid overlap where cases fit more than one variant. Nonetheless, the established current guidelines are a useful tool to address the classification and diagnosis of PPA and are also of great value in standardizing terminologies to improve consistency across studies from different research centers.

Objective: to study the clinical and laboratory features of lobular panniculitides (LPn) on a cohort of patients referred to the rheumatology center.Patients and methods. The investigation enrolled 687 patients (613 women and 74 men; mean age, 39.7±11.3 and 41.2±12.5 years, respectively) with panniculitis (Pn) who had received outpatient and/or inpatient treatment for diagnosed erythema nodosum or panniculitis at the V.A. Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology in 2007–2017.Results and discussion. By applying the diagnostic algorithm developed by the authors and the existing classification of Pn, the investigators diagnosed septal Pn in 430 (62.6%) patients and LPn in 249 (36.2%). The latter was associated with rheumatic diseases (RDs) in 97 (39%) patients. Most (70%) cases were patients with idiopathic LPn (ILPn), which, according to the 10th edition of the International Classification of Diseases, belongs to a group of systemic connective tissue disorders (M35.6), as well as those with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (11.45%), dermatomyositis (DM) (9.37%), and rheumatoid arthritis (7%). This group showed a preponderance of females (the ratio of males to females was 1:7) with the chronic course of the disease mainly in ILPn. The clinical picture corresponded to four types of LPn, which may be of diagnostic and prognostic value in RDs.Conclusion. This investigation confirmed the relevance of studying LPn in RDs because of its negative impact on the course, severity and therapeutic efficiency of the underlying disease.

AbstractBackground and aimsThe World Health Organization included gaming disorder (GD) in the eleventh revision of International Classification of Diseases in 2019. Due to the lack of diagnostic tools for GD, a definition has not been adequately applied. Therefore, this study aimed to apply an operationalized definition of GD to treatment-seekers. The relationship between the diagnoses of GD and Internet gaming disorder (IGD) in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders was also examined. Methods: Study participants comprised 241 treatment-seekers who had engaged in excessive gaming and experienced related problems. Psychiatrists applied the GD diagnostic criteria to the participants using a diagnostic form developed for this study. Information on gaming behavior and functional impairment was obtained through face-to-face interviews conducted by clinical psychologists. Results: In total, 78.4 and 83.0% of the participants fulfilled the GD and IGD diagnostic criteria, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of GD diagnosis were both high when the IGD diagnosis was used as the gold standard. Participants with GD preferred online PC and console games, spent significantly more time gaming, and showed a higher level of functional impairment compared to those who did not fulfill the GD diagnostic criteria. Discussion and Conclusion: The definition of GD can be successfully applied to treatment-seekers with excessive gaming and related problems. A high concordance of GD and IGD diagnoses was found in those participants with relatively severe symptoms. The development and validation of a diagnostic tool for GD should be explored in future studies.
