Cognitive Screening Tool for Geriatrics: A Retrospective Observational Study on the Correlation of the Scores in 30-Point Clock Face Test and MMSE.

Background: Over the past 30 years, the clock drawing test (CDT) has generated considerable interest due to its usefulness in the early detection of cognitive impairments, particularly those seen in neurodegenerative dementias (including Alzheimer's disease), vascular dementia, and mixed dementia. The present study aimed to determine whether the results of the "30-Point Clock Face Test" (CFT-30), a standardized version of the CDT that uses a 30-point scale, correlate with those of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).

Methods: This is a retrospective, observational study.

[Understanding lower gynaecological cancer consultation delay and help-seeking behavior in patients over 65].

Introduction: Delays for consultation of more than six months exist for uterine cancer. Delays in diagnosis of more than five years exist for vulvar cancer. The peak incidence of these neoplasms appear after the age of 65 years.

Representations of their own sexuality and aging body by old people: phenomenological and psychodynamic approach.

The sexuality of the elderly is rarely mentioned in general medicine although it holds an important place in many old people's life, and sexual well-being is a part of the global well-being according to the World Health Organization. To explore the representations of their own sexuality and aging body by the elderly. Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews in 15 healthy elderly people over 65 years of age, living at home.

[Exhaustion of family caregivers: a masked domestic crisis? A psychodynamic and systemic approach].

We try, from our clinical practice in a geriatric medicine department, to identify the processes involved in family crisis, especially in the relationship carer/cared. Psychodynamic and systemic determinants are highlighted to understand how family caregivers may suffer burn out, and suggest preventive measures.

[The aged and the test of folding a rhombus Psychometric and chronopsychological aspects].

This study highlights the incongruence of geriatric institutions to set up activities for elderly people without taking into account the circadian fluctuations of cognitive processes related to circadian rhythms. By example, rehabilitation for falls is based on the indication given by the therapist (instruction), its integration and assimilation by the patient (comprehension), and the resulting action (execution). However, the recorded information and the execution may present a shift of phase and even an opposition of phase.
