delusional disorder (F.22) rather than in general population. Alco-
hol has not been described as the main cause of the delusional idea,
but is an enhancer factor which would inhibit behavioral brake and
executive function in prefrontal cortex facilitating the development
of the existing delusional idea.
Hypothesis We want to confirm this association in our influence
area so this study aims to report compared frequency of alcoholism
in DD versus a control group published in andalusian population.
Aims To reviewthe literature on the potential links between alco-
hol abuse and delusional disorder and this relationship in general
population.
Results This poster presents a brief but updated systematic liter-
ature review on the associations between DD and alcohol abuse.
We will also present data from a relatively large case-mix of
2049 patients with the diagnosis of delusional disorder resulting
from a thorough retrospective, medical-record based, assessment
of patients attended in our clinical catchment area.
In our sample, alcohol abuse and other drugs consumption was
significantly less common in Delusional Disorder than in other psy-
choses.
This result suggests that alcohol and other drugs consumption can
be a greater importance parameter in other psychoses correlates
than in delusional disorder.

Background The centre for medical prevention of opiate addic-
tion established, as a part of the Tuzla University Clinical Centre’s
Department of Psychiatry, is a result of several years of coopera-
tion between the Tuzla department of psychiatry and the centre for
addiction of the University Hospital in Orebro, Sweden. By working
together, the scientists have developed the Tuzla model for opiate
addiction in 2009, a first ever project of such kind in Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
Objectives To describe principles of organization and results of
six years working period with buprenorphine + naloxone program.
Method Authors described principles of organization and results
of six years working period of the centre for medical prevention of
opiate addiction in Tuzla.
Results Once a patient is admitted to the center, a family mem-
ber or a close friend signs a statement, committing to ensure
that the patient will take the prescribed medicine regularly and
always sticks around, from the very first psychiatric interview
until the treatment finalization. This program helps create a bond
between the addict and another person, which makes it dif-
ferent from other treatment programs which usually tend to
isolate addicts in institutions. Another difference is that instead
of methadone, patients receive another drug that has shown much
better results–buprenorphine + naloxone (Suboxone® ).
Currently, the centre has about 160 patients who come for regular
treatment and check-ups. Since the centre was established, over
260 patients were successfully treated.
Conclusion The program helps families to rebuild their homes
and relationships torn-apart by addictions, through rehabilitation,
re-socialization and reintegration.

What impact does a state of alcohol
hangover have upon everyday
prospective memory and does this
differ for men and women?

Kingdom
Introduction The Alcohol Hangover State (AHS) is characterized
by range of symptoms (e.g., drowsiness, fatigue, gastro-intestinal
problems, dry mouth, nausea, sweating) that remain after ones
blood-alcohol level returns to zero following a recent bout of exces-
sive drinking. A recent study found deficits in everyday prospective
memory (PM: memory for future plans/actions; such as remem-
bering to meet with friends or to perform a task at a specific time)
associated with the AHS.
Objectives Given the importance of PM to everyday living, it is
important to attempt to verify these findings.
Aims The present study aimed to provide converging evidence
on the impact AHS has upon PM and extend this focus to explore
whether any sex differences relating to AHS and PM exist.
Methods Twenty-six AHS participants (13 males/13 females)
were compared with 27 non-AHS controls (12 males/15 females)
using a between-groups design. All completed a Virtual Reality
Prospective Memory Test (VRPMT) was used as an objective test
of time-based and event-based PM.
Results The AHS group recalled significantly fewer time-based
and event-based PM tasks on VRPMT compared with the non-AHS
control group. There was a sex and hangover interaction on time
based PM, with the male AHS group recalling significantly fewer
items than the female AHS group.
Conclusions These results confirm the deleterious impact of AHS
upon PM and further reveal that males who are in an AHS are sig-
nificantly more impaired in their time-based PM than females in
an AHS, a novel addition to the literature.

The separate and combined effects of
drinking and smoking upon everyday
prospective memory

Kingdom
Introduction Prospective memory (PM) refers to memory for
future plans/actions; such as remembering to meet with friends
or to perform a task at a specific time. Independent research has
demonstrated that smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
produce PM deficits on both self-reported and objective measures
of PM.
Objectives No research to date has looked at the combined use
of excessive alcohol and tobacco smoking upon PM, which is the
focus of this study.
Aims The present study aimed to provide compare a group of
excessive drinkers, a group of smokers (not excessively drinking)
