were administrated to evaluate cognitive and depressive symp-

toms. Adherence to Med-Diet was evaluated using the Med-Diet

14-Item questionnaire (MDQ). Pearson correlation was used to test

association between variables. The Preacher and Hayes’ strategy

was used to test the mediational model.

Results

One hundred and forty-three subjects were included

in the study. Significant inverse correlations of MDQ with GDS

(

r

= -0.317;

P

< 0.001) and CIRSG-SI (

r

= -0.247;

P

= 0.003) were

found, with and without adjustment for potential confounders. A

direct correlation between CIRSG-SI and GDS was also observed

(

r

= 0.304;

P

= 0.001), with this association beingmoderated byMDQ

(

b

= 0.386;

P

= 0.047).

Conclusion

These findings (i) add to the accumulating evidence

that Med-Diet is crucially involved in the regulation of physi-

cal and mental health of elderly people, and (ii) suggest that a

Mediterranean-style diet may contribute to protect elderly sub-

jects with higher levels of polypathology/multi-morbidity from the

development of depressive symptoms.

Diagnostic accuracy of the

overlapping infinity loops, wire cube,

clock drawing tests and their

combined score for cognitive

impairment in mild cognitive

impairment and dementia

Psychiatry, Pathumthani, Thailand

Objectives

To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of the over-

lapping infinity loops, wire cube, clock drawing tests (CDT) and

the combined score in the detection of mild cognitive impairment

(MCI) and dementia.

Methods

The participants were 60 normal controls (NC), 35

patients with MCI, and 47 patients with dementia. For the over-

lapping infinity loops and wire cube tests, the participants were

told to copy the figures from the examples. For the CDT, the partic-

ipants were asked to draw a clock face with numbers on it with the

hands at ten past five.

Results

The results illustrate that infinity loops, cube, or CDT

alone, or combined score, were not able to discriminate between

NC and MCI groups. In dementia detection, the CDT had the highest

diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity 76.6% and specificity 87.4%) fol-

lowed by infinity loops (sensitivity 83.7% and specificity 78.9%)

and cube (sensitivity 93.6% and specificity 46.3%). Additionally,

when the three tests were combined, better diagnostic accu-

racy was demonstrated with a sensitivity of 87.2% and specificity

86.3%.

Conclusion

This study demonstrates that the three drawing tests

are sensitive detectors of dementia but not MCI. The combination of

these three drawing tests is a brief tool of good diagnostic accuracy

for dementia screening.

Introduction

It is not rare, old patients asking for better aesthetic

results on multi-operated bodies causing anxiety and incon-

venience. Objectives of our study is to present the emotional

confrontation of patients towards surgery.

Methods

We present 4 cases of interest.

Results

A 75-year-old woman with abdominal asymmetry due

to lose abdominal walls and prior operations underwent a failed

operation because of her own persistence and finally was con-

vinced to stop asking new surgery when she was told that her

abdomen would never become symmetrical. A 79- year-old man,

keen on parachuting, was interested to improve his sexual perfor-

mance and tighten his lose skin with a re-operation on his well

done hernia operation. A married man of 50-years-old with a tem-

porary colostomy due to ruptured sigmoid colon suffering from

acute diverticulitis, two months later was not at all interested in

any kind of aesthetic improvement or his sexual life, and his only

care was his nutrition and the avoidance of infections. A divorced

man of 49-years-old, with a permanent colostomy, due to famil-

ial adenomatous polyposis and cancer occurrence on the site of

his old operation (prior total colectomy in 1995), not even one

time referred to sexual functioning or aesthetic problems, while

his constant problem was to take care of his colostomy by himself.

Conclusions

Old age does not mean loss of interest for body icon

and sexuality. On the other handmiddle-agedmen seem to bemore

practical and less emotional than old patients.

Introduction

In 1943, Bleuler defined “late-onset schizophre-

nia” as a form of schizophrenia with onset after the age of

40. Half a century had passed with no consensus on the late

psychosis’ terminology, when in 1998 the international late-

onset schizophrenia group Consensus proposed a nosology for

these disorders: late-onset schizophrenia and very-late-onset

schizophrenia-like psychosis.

Objectives

Presentation of a case and diagnostic discussion.

Methods

Interviews with the patient during his hospitalisation.

Results

We present a case of a 73-year-old single woman, with

no psychiatric history, who was driven to the emergency depart-

ment by her relatives when they noticed her bizarre behaviour: she

had drowned and strangled her pet bird. At examination she was

agitated, had persecutory delusions, thought broadcasting, cen-

esthetic and auditory hallucinations in the form of a masculine

voice, who sang and dialogued with her. Symptoms had evolved

during the past six months with no apparent functional impair-

ment. During hospitalisation she was treated with risperidone (up

to 5mg/day) with improvement in a few days. There were no

significant abnormalities on cerebral tomography and analytical

exams. Neuropsychological evaluation ruled out cognitive deficits.

At the time of discharge although the patient kept referring audi-

tory hallucinatory activity, she had an appropriate behaviour, and

no evidence of negative symptoms.

Conclusions

The small group of patients who meet schizophre-

nia’s criteria for the first time at a later age present some particular
