We present developments of the Hamiltonian approach to problems of the freely decay of isotropic turbulence, and also consider specific applications of the modified Prelle-Singer procedure to isotropic turbulence. It demonstrates that a nonlinear second order ordinary differential equation is intimately related to the self-preserving solution of Karman-Howarth equation, admitting time-dependent first integrals and also proving the nonstandard Hamiltonian structure, as well as the Liouville sense of integrability.
