The most common psychiatric diseases in the geriatric population are depression, the acute confusional state or delirium and dementia. ⋯ The diagnosis of these diseases (depression, delirium and dementia) is very important because in the elderly population with these disorders a higher morbidity and mortality due to medical causes is found.

Comparative Study
[A descriptive epidemiological study of ulcerative colitis in a community hospital (1985-1989)].
The incidence of ulcerative colitis (UC) shows a marked geographical variation. It is high in Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian countries, while in Mediterranean countries the available data on its epidemiological features are few. Spain is not an exception. ⋯ Although the estimation of incidence only from hospital cases underestimates the true incidence, and also considering the limitation of comparing results of studies from several time periods, the incidence of UC in our area is the highest one reported to the present time in Spain and Southern Europe. Nevertheless, it is lower than that in most Northern European countries.

Comparative Study Clinical Trial
[Delayed nonspecific cutaneous hypersensitivity in extrinsic allergic alveolitis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis].
A study of delayed nonspecific cutaneous hypersensitivity in extrinsic allergic alveolitis and in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. ⋯ Delayed nonspecific cutaneous hypersensitivity in extrinsic allergic alveolitis is depressed in a similar way as in sarcoidosis, whereas it appears to be preserved in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Therefore, extrinsic allergic alveolitis should be considered as another cause of reduction of delayed nonspecific cutaneous hypersensitivity as it is the case with sarcoidosis.
