IntroductionThe European Federation of Psychiatric Trainees (EFPT) is an independent Federation of Psychiatric Trainees and represents the consensus of psychiatric trainee's organizations across European countries and advocates for what training should look like, regardless of the country. Spain was one of the last countries to be part of the Association. Finally, and after months of hard work and networking, on September 2015 the Spanish Society of Psychiatry Trainees(SERP), was founded and Spain became a observer member of the EFPT.ObjectivesOne of the main goals of the SERP, is creating a program of clerkships, in both directions, from other trainees to come to Spain, and for Spanish Trainees to go abroad.MethodsOur idea in this poster is to explain a first look of which Hospitals/Units would be appropriate to make a rotation, and to explain the first steps in order to create a database with information about the nightshifts, possible accommodation and other aspects related to the organization. We want to use this poster to present to Europe our new Association.ResultsOn September 25 at the National Congress of Psychiatry in Santiago de Compostela, a Group of Spanish trainees founded the SERP, organized the first Board and signed the Founding Amendments.ConclusionsAfter two previous failed attempts, finally on 25th September 201; the Spanish Society of Psychiatry Residents (SERP) was founded, an important part of the activity of this company is promoting exchanges between residents of member countries in Spain.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

We appreciate the adherence of patients and the efficacy, tolerability and impact on physical health.ResultsWe appreciate reduction in the amount of alcohol ingested observed by both the patient and their relatives without any cases of neglect and few side effects.We got two patients leave the alcohol completely and an average decline in consumption over 9 Basic Units of Drink.* (90 g).We observed improvement in the quality of life in patients with multiple pathologies and difficult social situation.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
IntroductionAripiprazole is the firstborn of the new dynasty of antipsychotic called third generation or neuromodulator of dopamine-serotonin system. It has proven to be an effective and well-tolerated antipsychotic. Dual Pathology represents the presence of comorbidity between mental illness and substance use disorders. It is an under-diagnosed problem and it is increasing frequency.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to determine and describe the clinical profile of the patients admitted to the Dual Pathology Unit (UPD) at The Montalvos Hospital (Part of Salamanca University Teaching Hospital, Spain) treated with oral Aripiprazole.MethodsDescriptive, observational, retrospective study of a sample of patients admitted to the UPD to which oral aripiprazole was prescribed during hospitalization. A number of sociodemographic, clinical, and treatment-related variables are described.ResultsFrom a sample of 25 patients and according to DSM-5 criteria (APA, 2013) main diagnoses were: 14 cases of substance-induced psychotic disorder, 3 cases of schizophrenia; 3 cases of schizoaffective disorder; 2 cases of bipolar disorder; 1 case of schizophreniform disorder; 1 case of borderline personality disorder; 1 case of personality syndrome. The most used drugs before the admittance were cocaine, cannabis and opioids. The average dose of aripiprazole was 9 mg and no side effects or drug interactions were reported.ConclusionsApart from its well known efficacy in treament of psychosis, oral aripiprazole may be a first line treatment for Dual diagnosis patients, specially those with problems of non-compliance, due to high level prolactine side effects.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
IntroductionThe term contrail is a contraction of condensation and trail, as chemtrail is of chemical and trail. The first one is used to name trails left in the sky by aircrafts under certain atmospheric conditions. Some people argue that when contrails do not dissipate quickly is because contain substances added and sprayed for sinister purposes undisclosed to the population (weather modification and biological and/or chemical war are the most common).ObjectiveExist various versions of the chemtrail theory, most of them propagated via the internet in discussions forums or websites, and to a lesser degree by the mass media such as TV and radio programs. The outspread popularity and diffusion of the theory has already become a reality. Scientific community has repeatedly rejected that chemtrails exist, insisting that are just contrails. We analyze this phenomenon.MethodsWe made a exhaustive literature review in Journals of Meteorology and Aviation, about the formation of condensation trails, in Social Pychology Journals about the genesis and dissemination of the chemtrails theory. Finally, we will make a brief presentation of documentation built around the theory of chemtrails in the province of Zamora (Spain), where is one of the most active spots in southern Europe.Conclusionsofficial statements on the non-existence of chemtrails have not discouraged the proponents of the theory of chemtrails.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
BackgroundPatients with schizophrenia have a higher prevalence of physical illness and a higher mortality from natural causes than the general population, which is a reason why they can be hospitalized for medical and surgical pathologies.AimsTo determine the demand, the reason for consultation and the sociodemographic characteristics of the psychotic patient admitted at the general hospital.MethodsSociodemographic variables (age, sex, marital status, education, place of residence, residential housing, with who they live, work status) and health care (service of origin, type of request and its relevance, complaints, days of delay between the request and assistance, number of visits, average length of stay).Study designProspective epidemiological study of 80 psychotic patients (F.2 ICD-10), from the total of 906 consults solicited from 1 January 2012 until 31 December 2014. Bioethical considerations: compliance with these principles justice, non-maleficence, autonomy and beneficence.ResultsThe average age is 58.34 years old, 60% were male, 73.8% single, 81.3% with primary education, 52.5% living in urban areas; and the 88.8% of cases were pensioners. The Departments that generate a greater demand are Internal Medicine (53.8%), Orthopaedic Surgery (10%), Pneumology (8.8%) and ICU (8.8%). The most frequent reasons for consultation are assessment/treatment setting (77.5%), abnormal behavior (30%), disorientation (18.8%) and psychotic symptoms (18.8%).ConclusionsThe typical profile of psychotic patients hospitalized for medical-surgical diseases is a male, middle-aged, single, with primary education and pensioner; from whom it's sued consultation for adjusting of treatment, and secondly for abnormal behavior.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
