6 months ago she started with hematuria and urologist found a

multifocal oncocytoma in left kidney. Shewas operatedwithdouble

lumpectomy and partial nephrectomy without complications. Nor-

mal preoperative and postoperative renal function. Two months

ago, she started with dysarthria, dystonia and coarse tremor, and

T wave inversion on the electrocardiogram. In the blood test,

lythemia was 1.67mEQ/L. Creatinine was 0.65mg/dL. She was

admitted to Internal Medicine Unit. She was treated with rehydra-

tion by serum. All psychoactive drugs were removed. Twenty days

later, lithemia was undetectable in the blood analysis.

Results

Twoweeks ago, the patient was transferred to themental

health unit due to worsening her mood. Lithium was reintroduced

3 days ago, at doses of 200mg per day. Today, the patient starts

again with symptoms of poisoning by lithium. Lithemia was 1.78.

Conclusions

On this occasion, partial nephrectomy due to onco-

cytoma is themost likely cause two consecutive lithiumpoisonings.

Although creatinine and glomerular filtration are in normal range,

patients after partial nephrectomy may have a reduced sodium

reabsorption in proximal convoluted tubule, which may cause

lithium compensatory resorption. This could cause rising in blood

lithium levels.

Introduction

Delusional of parasitosis or Ekbom’s syndrome (ES)

is a psychiatric disorder in which the patient has a fixed and

false belief that small organisms infest the body. The belief is

often accompanied by hallucinations. It is an uncommon condi-

tion that was initially studied by dermatologists, more prevalent

in the elderly and typically observed in women older than 50 years

although isolated cases among men have been reported.

Objective

To review current knowledge about delusional of para-

sitosis in elderly patients through literature systematic review and

the analysis of a case report.

Methodology

We performed a literature search using electronic

manuscripts available in PubMed database published during the

last five years, following the description and discussion of a clini-

cal case. We report a case of an 85-year-old man who presented a

delusional parasitosis as a primary disorder.

Results

The literature on ES consists mostly of case reports and

limited series. In this paper, we analyze the etiology, demographic

characteristics, clinical features and treatment in geriatric patients

with delusional parasitosis.

Conclusion

International classifications have included this syn-

drome in non-schizophrenic delusions. However, it has also been

reported in schizophrenia, affective disorders, and organic or

induced psychosis. Treatment is based on antipsychotic agents,

psychotherapy and cooperation between dermatologists and psy-

chiatrists.

Introduction

With constantly increasing aged populations, qual-

ity of life (QOL) in persons with dementia has become a significant

research concern. The Alzheimer’s Disease Related Quality of Life

(ADRQL) is a high-validated, theory-derived, andmultidimensional

instrument developed by Rabins et al. (1997, 2009) that has widely

utilized in many countries, except in Taiwan. However, diverse

results of quality of life from different countries by using the same

measurement can provide the potential to help understand the

impact of cultural contributor on QOL.

Objective

To investigate the extent to which quality of life on

older adults with dementia in Taiwan.

Methods

Cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted in an

assisting living facility affiliated with daycare center in southern

Taiwan. A purposeful sample of 34 participants was recruited.

Inclusion criteria: at least 65 years old, able to communicate, and

diagnosedwithmild tomoderate dementia. The QOLwasmeasured

by Chinese version ADRQL. This observational instrument consists

of 30 items that is divided to five subscales with the full range of

each subscale scores from 0 to 100.0. Higher scores indicate better

QOL.

Results

The means for subscales of the Social Interaction, Aware-

ness of Self, Feelings and Mood, Enjoyment of Activities, and

Response to Surroundings were 87.9, 74.7, 91.3, 64.5, and 90.3,

respectively. The overall mean for the scale of ADQOL was 0.83.

Conclusion

Findings suggest that the level of enjoyment of activ-

ities is the lowest and may convey information about a need of

evaluation on arrangement of facility’s activities.

Introduction

Citicoline is a choline donor involved in the biosyn-

thesis of brain phospholipids and acetylcholine, used for treating

neurodegenerative disorders. Several studies have shown its ben-

eficial effects both in degenerative and vascular cognitive decline.

Due to its effects on the adrenergic and dopaminergic CNS activity,

citicoline can also be used as an adjuvant in depression treatment.

Objectives and aims

Comparative evaluation of efficacy and safety

of a multimodal antidepressive therapy with ceraxone (citicoline)

plus one of the antidepressants (venlafaxine, agomelatine, or flu-

voxamine) and monotherapy with the same antidepressant for the

treatment of depression in the elderly. Two groups of patients were

included in the study (21 patients in each group) aged from 60 to

79 years old, comparable to the main clinical characteristics.
