Introduction

Neurosyphilis has been called “the great imitator”

because of its atypical clinical presentation ranging from motor

dysfunctions to psychotic episodes to dementia. This, and the fact

that it has become a rare disease, makes diagnosis challenging.

Objective

This work will present three early onset Major Neu-

rocognitive Disorder cases for which neurosyphilis was considered

as a possible cause.

Aims

In this presentation, we underline clinical characteristics

that should raise the suspicion of neurosyphilis and the importance

of an adequate diagnosis.

Methods

The three patients presented as case-reports were

admitted to an acute psychiatric ward, presenting with psy-

chomotor agitation and aggression. The initial clinical evaluation

(including the patient’s medical history) did not suggest the pres-

ence of syphilis. Subsequent blood-tests were performed, including

RPR (Rapid Plasma Reagin) or VDRL (Venereal Disease Research

Laboratory) which were positive in all three cases. Other tests were

performed in order to confirm the presence of neurosyphilis.

Results

All three patients had positive treponemal and nontre-

ponemal test results. For only one of the three patients, imagistic

abnormalities of the brain were present. For two of the patients,

a positive diagnosis of Major Neurocognitive Disorder due to neu-

rosyphilis was established.

Conclusions

Neurosyphilis can be a cause for Major Neurocogni-

tive Disorder. The diagnosis of this pathology is important because

cognitive function can be improved by adequate treatment.

Introduction

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

prevalence in the general adult population is estimated to be

between 2–4%. Despite the high prevalence, until recently there

was only one validated semi-structured interview available for the

accurate diagnostic assessment of ADHD within the adult popu-

lation: the Conners Adult ADHD Diagnostic Interview for DSM-IV

(CAADID).

Objectives

To examine the concurrent validity of the DIVA 2.0

interview comparing the diagnostic rate with the CAADID inter-

view. To analyse the criterion validity of the DIVA 2.0 in the Spanish

language in an adult sample.

Aims

The aim of this is to study was to evaluate criterion validity

of the DIVA 2.0 in an adult sample comparing with the CAADID and

other ADHD severity scales.

Methods

A transversal study was performed to check the criteria

and concurrent validity of the DIVA 2.0 compared to the CAADID.

Results

Forty patients were recruited in an adult ADHD pro-

gram at a university hospital. The DIVA 2.0 interview showed a

diagnostic accuracy of 100% when compared with the diagnoses

obtained with the CAADID interview and goods correlations with

three self-reported rating scales: the WURS, the ADHD Rating Scale

and Sheehan’s’ Dysfunction Inventory.

Conclusions

The DIVA 2.0 has good psychometric properties and

is a reliable tool for the assessment of ADHD in adults.

Introduction

Power promising an important role in healing var-

ious diseases and increase physical and mental quality of life and

people’s distress tolerance.

Aim

The object of research is to compare among hope, life quality,

and distress resistance in nurses in internal department and ICU to

normal persons.

Methods

The object of research is to compare among hope, life

quality, and distress resistance innurses in internal department and

ICU to normal persons. Statistical society includes all employees in

Rouhani hospital in 2014–2015. Statistical sample and the method

of sampling have been sampled randomly and the volumes of sam-

ple have been selected by Kerjesy table and Morgan and are about

108 persons.

Results

The findings shows themean of value difference of nurses

in ICU department is equal to 29/94 on distress resistance, hope

and life quality and in comparing to this amount in normal person

responding is equal to 36/3 and shows internal department nurses

and ICU does have less mean in distress resistance to respondents.

Conclusions

According to research findings, the relation among

hope, life quality and distress resistance is multi-directional rela-

tion. Hopeful persons do have lesser bodily and psych problems

and are more adaptive in society and are more hopeful than those

who have lesser level of hope in life.

Introduction

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of

neurodevelopmental syndromes characterized by deficits in com-

munication, social interaction and imagination. These symptoms

are present in the early developmental period, but may not be fully

obvious until social demands exceed the child’s limited capacities.

In spite of its early presenting, this condition is not diagnosed until

adult stage. In Japan, many patients with ASD were diagnosed after
