Abstract: The object of the current study is to identify features of violations of the functional state of the brain among the liquidators, of the Chernobyl accident, having dyscirculatory encephalopathy. 1. To study the clinical manifestations of dyscirculatory encephalopathy among the Chernobyl clean-up workers. 2. To determine, using EEG, the level and intensity of damage to the central nervous system at different stages of chronic insufficiency of cerebral blood flow. 3. To compare results of studies of cognitive functions, obtained in psychological testing and analysis at different stages of chronic insufficiency of cerebral blood flow.

Keywords: brain damage in utero, Chernobyl accident, neuromental health, etiopathogenesis, prenatal irradiation
Abstract: An integrated estimation of neuromental health of children acutely exposed to prenatal irradiation was performed. One hundred children, who were born between 26 April 1986 and 26 February 1987 from pregnant at the moment of the Chernobyl disaster women evacuated from the city of Pripyat after the accident were examined (main group). Doses of fetus irradiation were 10,7–92,5 mSv and doses of fetus thyroid irradiation were 0,2–2 Gy. Comparison group included 50 children from Kiev of the same age which mother’s pregnancies took place in Kiev (doses of fetus irradiation were 0–2,7 mSv and doses of fetus thyroid irradiation were 0–0,04 Gy).
Title: Neuropsychiatric aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster: current state of evidences
Author: Loganovsky K N
Reference: Укр. мед. часопис. (Ukrainian Medical Journal) , 6 (68) – XI/XII 2008
Keywords: Chernobyl accident, neuropsychiatric effects, ionizing radiation, brain radiosensitivity, cerebral radiation markers, State Mental Health Care System
Abstract: The neuropsychiatric aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster remain the most important medical and social problem, however their causes are at issue. There is a strong necessity to develop and implement the State Mental Health Care System for the survivors of the Chernobyl accident as well as possible in the future radiation accidents and terrorist attacks with radiologic dispersive devise (RDD or «dirty bomb»). The brain is a radiosensitive organ where its vulnerability to exposure to ionizing radiation is different: radiation brain injury is mainly localized in neocortex, cortical-limbic system and the dominant hemisphere. The neurophysiological and neuroimaging radiation markers, psychophysiological markers of prenatal irradiation and postradiation cognitive deficit are revealed.

Abstract: The study examined psychological development in 187 children at the age of 6-7 and 10-11, who had suffered prenatal radiation exposure at the time of the Chernobyl accident in 1986.
Title: Stress-induced endogenous risk factors for neuropsychiatric disorders and rational approaches to improving the quality of life index among Chernobyl accident liquidators
Author: Sushkevich, Anton Genadyevich

Keywords:pathophysiology, stress, neuropsychiatric disorders, quality of life, liquidators, Obninsk, medical and rehabilitation center
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the frequency of neurotic disorders and determine the role of stress-induced endogenous risk factors and their development among the liquidators on the basis of radiation-epidemiological analysis of data from the Russian National Medical and Dosimetric Registry and clinical database of the Medical Radiological Research Center (Russian Academy of Medical Sciences), based on the annual medical monitoring of the liquidators of Obninsk, for targeted improvement of medical and rehabilitation complex.
Title: The role of radiation factor in the formation of neuropsychiatric disorders in children born to families of Chernobyl accident liquidators and the rationale for the tactics of diagnostic and therapeutic-preventive measures

Keywords: pediatrics, neuropsychic health, children, therapeutic- rehabilitative services, nervous system
Abstract: Research aim: to determine the role of radiation effects on parents – the Chernobyl accident liquidators, in the formation of neuropsychiatric disorders in their children; to develop the principles of therapeutic- rehabilitative activities based on a comprehensive analysis of clinical-functional and cytogenetic examination results and family psychological testing.
Title: Unclaimed Fukushima psychological and neuropsychiatric lessons of Chernobyl

Abstract: The Japanese earthquake March 11, 2011 and subsequent tsunami and series of accidents at nuclear power plants were an exceptional challenge to the Japanese technology and the mentality of the nation. Prior to Fukushima, a level 7 event (the maximum classification) was earned only by the Chernobyl disaster. Was the Chernobyl and international experience counted and used regarding the mental health of victims in case of Fukushima?
Title: Preliminary evaluation of the impact of the Chernobyl radiological contamination on the frequency of central nervous system malformations in 18 regions of Europe
Reference: Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, Volume 2, Issue 3, pages 253–264, July 1988
DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-3016.1988.tb00216.x
Keywords: human breast milk; Iodine-131; radioiodine
Abstract: The teratological impact of radiological contamination from the Chernobyl accident was evaluated in relation to central nervous system and eye defects in 18 regional registries in nine countries of Western Europe. Six classes of anomaly were analysed: neural tube defects, arhinencephaly, microcephaly and brain reduction, hydrocephaly, anophthalmos and microphthalmos, and congenital cataract. Conceptions up to 31 August 1986 were grouped into two exposure cohorts. In cohort A the sensitive period of fetal development to radiation fell wholly or partly between 1 May and 30 June 1986. Cohort B included all cases exposed during their sensitive period on or after 1 May 1986. Observed frequencies of the six classes of anomaly in the exposed cohorts were compared with expected frequencies calculated from baseline rates for the period 1980–1985. The only significant increase was neural tube defects in Odense, Denmark (four cases observed in cohort A where 0.9 were expected). The results of the study do not show a general increase in the frequency of malformations in the countries of Western Europe. The evidence presented indicates that, in the regions studied, termination of pregnancies or invasive prenatal diagnostic examinations were not justified for women exposed during pregnancy.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: We investigated whether children and adolescents who survive cancer are at increased risk for psychiatric hospitalization.
METHODS: In a nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study, 3710 persons who survived at least three years after a diagnosis of cancer in childhood or adolescence in the period from 1943 to 1990, and who were alive on January 1, 1970, or were born after that date, were identified in the Danish Cancer Registry. This population was followed up for psychiatric hospitalization from January 1, 1970, through 1993 by linkage with the Danish national Psychiatric Central Register. The number of expected cases was based on the national rates of hospitalization for psychiatric disease.
RESULTS: Among the 3710 survivors of cancer in childhood or adolescence, there was a total of 88 psychiatric hospitalizations. The risk of hospitalization for any psychiatric disease was higher among the survivors than in the general population, but the excess risk was restricted to survivors of brain tumor (the standardized hospitalization ratio [SHR], corresponding to the ratio of observed to expected cases of hospitalization for psychiatric disease, was 1.8; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.5 to 2.2). An increased risk of psychoses of somatic, cerebral causes (SHR, 7.7; 95 percent confidence interval, 4.1 to 13.2), psychiatric disorders in somatic disease (SHR, 5.1; 95 percent confidence interval, 2.5 to 9.1), and schizophrenia and related disorders (SHR, 2.4; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.2 to 4.4) was observed among survivors of brain tumor. There was no evidence of a significantly increased risk of major depression.
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of hospitalization for a psychiatric disorder is not increased among survivors of cancer in childhood or adolescence, except among survivors of brain tumor.
