class present have emerged recently, are frequently bought using

the internet and have similar effects to other hallucinogenic drugs;

however, they may pose larger risks, due to the limited knowl-

edge about them, their relatively low price and availability via the

internet

[1–3] .

The purpose of this report is to review the clini-

cal evidence for the potential of abuse of NBOMe compounds. We

propose a case report and literature review.

Method

We conducted a systematic review of the literature with

the principal database (PubMed, Enbase, PsychInfo) andwe present

a case report.

Results

The effects of 25C-NBOMe is characterized by hallucina-

tion, violent agitation, rhabdomyolysis and kydney injury.

Discussion and conclusion

Effects from 25C-NBOMe in our case

report were similar to previous individual case reports in litera-

ture

[2,3] .

The clinical features were also similar to effects from

other analogues in the class (25I-NBOMe, 25B-NBOMe). In our case,

violent agitation (signs of serotonergic stimulation), rhabdomy-

olysis and kidney injury were observed

[2,3] .

Further research is

warranted to replicate our clinical and qualitative observations

and, in general, quantitative studies in large samples followed

up over time are needed. Methodological limitations, clinical

implications and suggestions for future research directions are

considered.

Introduction

Paramethoxymethamphetamine and param-

ethoxyamphetamine (PMMA and PMA) are two so-called designer

amphetamines, which appear from time to time on the illegal

narcotics market in many countries. They are frequently sold

as ecstasy or amphetamine, often mixed with amphetamine or

methamphetamine

[1,2] .

Paramethoxyamphetamine (PMA) is a

hallucinogenic synthetic substituted amphetamine with capable

of development of dependence

[3] . T

he purpose of this report is to

review the clinical evidence for the potential of abuse of param-

ethoxyamphetamine. We propouse a case report and literature

review.

Method

We conducted a systematic review of the literature with

the principal database (PubMed, Enbase, PsychInfo) andwe present

a case report.

Results

The effects of paramethoxyamphetamine is character-

ized at the beginning with symptoms like euphoria, derealizzation,

psychomotor activation, feeling in tune with surroundings and in

love for friends, who come to visual and auditory illusions and

hallucinations, paranoid delusion, and violent agitation.

Discussion and conclusion

The use of these recreational drugs

is especially common among young people participating in rave

parties. Occasionally paramethoxymethamphetamine (PMMA) or

paramethoxyamphetamine (PMA) are found in street drugs offered

as ecstasy. Further research is warranted to replicate our clinical

and qualitative observations and, in general, quantitative studies

in large samples followed up over time are needed. Methodolog-

ical limitations, clinical implications and suggestions for future

research directions are considered.

Introduction

AUD, with a prevalence of 7.5% in Europe, is a com-

mon disorder among general population. Reports show higher

incidence in military personnel.

Purpose

To detect possible AUD inmentally healthymilitary per-

sonnel, and estimate the need for a more regular screening.

Methods

Using the AUDIT questionnaire, we assessed personnel

(

n

= 248) visiting our outpatient department, from January to June

2016, diagnosed as having “no major psychopathology”, by gender,

age, marital status, rank and education. The results were processed

using the SPSS Mann–Whitney-U and Kruskal Wallis tests.

Results

We tested

n

= 215men and

n

= 33women, most aged over

35, married,

n

= 97 officers and

n

= 151 NCOs (non-commissioned

officers), of medium or higher education; 59.7%, scored very low

(0–2),

n

= 11 had a borderline score of 6–7, 6 scored > 8, with one

scoring 16, all men and NCOs. Women had very low scores (72.7%

P

= 0.009). Older personnel concentrated on lower scores, while

the younger (18–24) have higher odds of AUD (12.6% scored 6+).

Married personnel scored lower (

P

< 0.001). No significant corre-

lation between AUDIT scores and education (

P

= 0.705), however,

lower education personnel seem to concentrate on very low scores

(82.6%).

Conclusions

Female gender, age, marriage, and rank may have

a positive effect on alcohol use. Lower educated personnel possi-

bly drink less due to their more physical duties. The fact that 17

diagnosed as mentally healthy personnel had a score implying bor-

derline to problematic alcohol use, could underline the need for a

more regular screening for alcohol use disorder in the armed forces.

Alcoholism and alcoholic psychoses in

Russia: An analysis of the trends

Belarus

Introduction

Russia has one of the highest alcoholism (alcohol

dependence) and alcoholic psychoses incidence/prevalence rates in

Europe, which may be explained by high overall population drink-

ing and prevalence of irregular heavy drinking of vodka. The role

of binge drinking in modifying the effect of alcohol on the risk of

alcoholic psychoses in Russia has been emphasized in clinical and

aggregate-level studies.

Aims

The present study aims to examine the phenomenon of dra-

matic fluctuations in alcoholism and alcoholic psychoses rates in

Russia during the late Soviet (1970–1991) to post-Soviet period

(1992–2015).
