M.Tech (Homoeopathy) / The aim of this study is to determine the influence of homoeopathically prepared Ginkgo Biloba 6X potency compared with that of phytotherapeutically prepared Ginkgo Biloba Extract; on the results of psychometric tests used to ascertain short-term memory loss in the geriatric subject. 21 elderly volunteers received; Ginkgo Biloba Extract (500mg), a homoeopathic 6X potency of Ginkgo Biloba and a placebo according to a double blind design. One hour after administration of the treatment, volunteers were subjected to psychometric testing namely the Reading Comprehension Test, which serves to assess the status of the short-term memory. No statistically significant changes from the placebo were observed in either of the groups. Adjusted scores for education and Mini Mental Status Exam scores however revealed a positive trend in favour of the homoeopathic 6X potency of Ginkgo Biloba Further evaluation with a larger study sample could provide more conclusive evidence as to its efficacy

Yes / Objective This study explores whether the profile of patients’ interactional behaviour in memory clinic conversations with a doctor can contribute to the clinical differentiation between functional memory disorders (FMD) and memory problems related to neurodegenerative diseases. Methods Conversation Analysis of video recordings of neurologists’ interactions with patients attending a specialist memory clinic. “Gold standard” diagnoses were made independently of CA findings by a multi-disciplinary team based on clinical assessment, neuropsychological testing and brain imaging. Results Two discrete conversational profiles for patients with memory complaints emerged, including (i) who attends the clinic (i.e., whether or not patients are accompanied), and (ii) patients’ responses to neurologists’ questions about memory problems, such as difficulties with compound questions and providing specific and elaborated examples and frequent “I don’t know” responses. Conclusion Specific communicative difficulties are characteristic of the interaction patterns of patients with a neurodegenerative pathology. Those difficulties are manifest in memory clinic interactions with neurologists, thereby helping to differentiate patients with dementia from those with FMD. Practical implications Our findings demonstrate that conversational profiles based on patients’ contributions to memory clinic encounters have diagnostic potential to assist the screening and referral process from primary care, and the diagnostic service in secondary care.
