We evaluated the screening validity of a self-report measure for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the PTSD Checklist (PCL), in female Veterans Affairs (VA) patients. All women seen for care at the VA Puget Sound Health Care system from October 1996–January 1999 (n=2,545) were invited to participate in a research interview. Participants (n=282) completed the 17-item PCL, followed by a

During the St. Louis post war growth in the early 1950's citizens are living in slums, children plays in littered alleys and vacant lots, and people lived without the basic necessities such as electricity, water, and comfort of living. The government attempts to eliminate the slums. They provide new modern housing which catered the needs of the people living in the slum area. The proposed public housing as described provides the basic necessities such as water, electricity and other conveniences. Housing be made in fresh plastered walls and caters family in different stories.

RESUMEN
La muestra de nuestro estudio consta de 72 pacientes diagnosticados de Síndrome Demencial. Destaca el predominio femenino, registrando este sexo una mayor edad media, el nivel cultural es bajo.
El motivo de asistencia urgente mas frecuente consistió en la aparición de conductas inadecuadas (63,6%). La conducta terapéutica mas común fue la instauración de tratamiento neuroléptico (55,6%) seguido de los nootropos o vasodilatadores (27,8%). Se hace imprescindible un diagnóstico diferencial preciso, así como un adecuado seguimiento de estos pacientes.

SUMMARY
We study a sample of 72 patients with the diagnosis of Dementia Syndrome. The female gender predominates, with a higher mean age in this sex. The main complain was due to inadequate behaviour in (63,6%) of these patients. Neuroleptic medication was the most common (55,6%) followed by nootropics (27,8%). It is necessary a precise diagnosis and an appropriate follow-up of this condition.

Background: Adolescents access either paediatric or adult emergency departments (EDs) for acute care and other health
needs. Anecdotally adolescent management is perceived as burdensome in adult EDs, with complex chronic illness cited as
a specific issue. This systematic review aimed to describe what is known of adolescent presentations made to adult hospital
EDs.
Methods: The systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA Guidelines. OVID-MEDLINE, EMBASE, WEB OF SCIENCE and CINAHL was searched from the beginning of the databases up to January 2016 for peer-reviewed journal articles
reporting on 10-19 year-old presentations made to adult hospital EDs. It was not always possible within a dataset to isolate
the 10-19 year-old data. Endpoints pertaining to demographic, diagnostic and other characteristics were examined.
Results: Four manuscripts of single and multi-site studies were included, all of North-American origin with a total participant sample of 8,415,366 adolescents. Physical injury was the most common cause of presentation, accounting for nearly 50% of presentations. The prevalence of chronic illness represented 35.2% of the sample in one study. Another study
reported 22% of their sample was triaged as non-urgent and 52.2% of all visits occurred at night.
Conclusion: The limited findings are consistent with global adolescent morbidity data. Characterisation of adolescent-specific presentations to adult-specific emergency care settings is limited by inability to separate datasets into the specific age
group. We were not able to confirm on data available that acute presentations on the background of chronic illness made up
a significant management load.
