Introduction

Physical comorbidities are common in patientswith

concurrent mental illness and substance use disorder. Interven-

tional studies addressing health promotion for this group of

patients are scarce.

Aims

To examine the physical health condition of a non-selected

group of patients with substance use disorder comorbid to other

psychiatric disorders. Further, to analyze for possible changes in

their health condition during a two-year intervention study in rela-

tion to physical measures and substance use. Finally, to analyze for

possible associations between changes in physical measures and in

substance use.

Methods

The patients were enrolled in the project continuously

from October 2013 through May 2015. Physical health measures

were obtained at the enrolment date and continuously as part of

daily clinical practice. Interventions consisted of individual consul-

tations with a research nurse, group sessions and an opportunity

to do physical exercise together with the research nurse. Interven-

tions included health promotion activities, i.e. guidance on healthy

food intake, smoking cessation and a physically active life.

Results

In total, 64 patients (mean age 32.7 years, SD 10.7) were

included in the study. Patients were mostly diagnosed with psy-

chotic disorders (11%), affective disorders (44%) or developmental

disorders (34%). Baseline measures showed that 89% of the patients

smoked cigarettes daily, 61% had used cannabis and 20% had used

amphetamines within the past month. Further, few patients did

moderate or vigorous physical exercise. Further results are in

progress.

Conclusions

These interventions seem relevant and manageable

in an outpatient setting.

A patient is twenty-eight years old who comes to the emergency

services because he has visual hallucinations related to alcohol con-

sumption. He only consumes alcohol sporadically in leisure time.

Since he began drinking at 18 years he has presented these symp-

toms in only four occasions. He does not relatewith amore quantity

of alcohol or another stressors. After a few minutes, these symp-

toms disappear and so he criticizes.

It is about of study through a clinical case the alcoholic hallucinosis,

their characteristics and to see the differences in the patient. The

patient in the acute phase presents a view of reality altered that

later he recovers. There is no loss of consciousness or behavioral

disorders. There are similarities with a pathological intoxication

but there is not a regular relationship between consumption and

symptoms.

Introduction

Use of prescription psychostimulants and nootrop-

ics for non-medical purpose is a growing trend, especially in

academic environment. Seeing the risks of neuroenhancement we

decided to investigate situation in Lithuania.

Objective

Analyze the use of cognitive enhancers among medical

students in Lithuania.

Aims

1. Determine the prevalence of cognitive enhancement. 2.

Figure out what drugs are mostly used and reasons for the usage.

3. Evaluate the contributing factors.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey studywas performed in Vilnius

University and Lithuanian University of Health Sciences. Students

were asked to fill anonymous paper questionnaires consisting of 13

items concerning prevalence of substance use to enhance cognitive

performance, reasons, and correlates during lecture time.

Results

Results are summarized in

Table 1 .

A total of 8.1% of

responders indicated that they had used cognitive enhancers.

Nootropics were the most frequently mentioned: 59.6%, while psy-

chostimulants were mentioned less frequently: 38.3% (including

modafinil, methylphenidate and amphetamine derived drugs), and

23.4% indicated other substances. Improvement of concentration

and increased studying time were predominant purposes (55.3%

and 48.9% of users). Male students reported 3 times higher preva-

lence rates than females (14.6% vs. 5.1%,

P

< 0.05). Prevalence were

also higher in students, who knew someone using these substances

as compared to those who did not (17.3% vs. 5.1%,

P

< 0.05); it was

the most associated factor with cognitive-enhancing drug taking

behavior

( Table 1 ).

Conclusions

In Lithuania, 1 of 12 medical students admits to hav-

ing used neuroenhancing drugs. Nootropics were the most used

drugs. Knowing user was the most important factor for usage.
