Introduction Increased caregiver burden and burn out in
Alzheimer disease is associated with a spectrum of problems, like
depression or anxiety.
Objectives To examine the relationship between the burden
of care and burnout level of professional staff dealing with
Alzheimer’s disease patients in geriatric inpatient centers in
Turkey.
Methods Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale tomeasure the level of bur-
den of care, and Maslach Burnout Inventory were used to measure
the level of burnout. Relationships between the socio-demographic
data of the sample group, burden of care and burnout level were
investigated. Sample group was consisting of 203 caregivers work-
ing in 8 geriatric care centers in Istanbul.
Results The surveyed caregivers’ “burden of care giving” level
was low (35.3 ± 9.9); “emotional exhaustion” level was weak
(2.3 ± 0.8); “depersonalization” level was weak (1.9 ± 0.6); “a feel-
ing of low personal accomplishment” level was weak (2.5 ±0.8);
“general burnout” level was weak (2.3 ±0.5). There was positive
correlation between caregiver burden and burnout level. Accord-
ing to the sociodemographic data, married women with children
were especially in increased risk for burnout. Low level of educa-
tion was associated with increased caregiver burden and burnout.
Caregiver burden and depersonalization points were also higher
with increasing age.
Conclusions Supportive interventions are needed to decrease the
burnout and caregiver burden especially for the caregivers with
increased risk.

Introduction Assessment of renal function in elderlywithdemen-
tia is a difficult clinical problem due to the high prevalence of
malnutrition and creatinine limits as a marker of glomerular fil-
tration in this context.
Objectives To assess the correlation between renal function and
dementia diagnosis.
Aims To highlight differences betweenmethods of assessment of
renal function based on creatinine and cystatin C.
Methods Cross-sectional study. Patients institutionalized at
Bucharest City-Center of Socio-Medical Services (a nursing home)
from 04/2014 to 11/2014 were included in the study. Dementia
diagnosis was established by a psychiatrist. We determined serum
creatinine by Jaffe method and serum cystatin C by nephelome-
try. Renal function was determined using several formulas based
on serum creatinine/cystatin C: Cockcroft–Gault, MDRD, creati-
nine CKDEPI/cystatin/creatinine + cystatin, Berlin Initiative Study
(BIS1, BIS2), Lund-Malmo LM-LBM. To highlight a link between
dementia and renal function, we determined Spearman correlation
coefficients.
Results Thirty-one patients were included in the study, mean
age 78.6 (63–97) years, 64% women. The diagnosis of dementia
(1 = positive, 0 = negative) had the following statistically signifi-
cant correlations: CKDEPIcystatin: rho = –0.390, P = 0.015; CKDEPI
creatinine-cystatin: rho = –0.332, P= 0.032; BIS2: rho = –0.346,
P = 0.02. We did not find statistically significant correlations
between the diagnosis of dementia and formulas for assessing renal
function based on creatinine only.
Conclusions Elderly patients with dementia present decreased
kidney function as determined by formulas based on cys-
tatin/cystatin + creatinine, but not on creatinine alone. Assessment
of renal function using cystatin C might represent a useful method
for detection of renal dysfunction in these patients and for proper
dosage of medication.

disorders?

Introduction The global burden of mental disorders is large and
continues to grow. Depression is the leading cause of disability
worldwide. Every 40 seconds somebody dies from suicide. People
with mental disorders are amongst the most marginalized in soci-
ety. The stigma they experience puts them at an increased risk of
poverty, discrimination and human right violations.
Objectives To study the presence of psychiatric disorders in the
media.
Methods We selected and analyzed the top media Twitter
accounts of general news outlets, based on their number of fol-
lowers. Our research strategy focused on the search of several
psychiatric terms of interest (ex: “insomnia”) on each Twitter
account. The search includes tweets from the beginnings of Twit-
ter in 2007 up to May 2016, and yielded a database of more than
10,000 news.
Results The termswith the highest impact inmassmedia referred
to suicide, depression, addictions and gender dysphoria. Disorders
related to anxiety (Generalized anxiety, phobias, panic disorder,
obsessive-compulsive disorder), dysthymia and bipolar disorder
were the psychiatric disorders with the lowest impact. We noticed
that the presence of psychiatric disorders in the media is increas-
ing. However, it does not accurately reflect the actual impact it has
on society.
