[Clinico-radiological considerations on senile atrophic gastritis].

59 cases of patients in geriatric age have been examined in which clinical symptomatology, radiographic exams and laboratory data had indicated the possible presence of gastric neoplasia. The repetition of the radiographic exam after giving methoclopramide for some days has demonstrated, excluding neoplastic lesion, that it was senile atrophic pseudo-tumoral gastritis. The diagnosis has been confirmed in numerous cases by gastroscopy with biopsy.

Age Factors

[Current knowledge on memory in the elderly].

In geriatric practice, much thought must be given to initial changes in intelligence and memory due to old age and often suddenly aggravated by dysmetabolic and circulatory disease. Awareness of the memory faculty in the elderly is vital in clinical practice for the purposes of pharmacological and psychological designed to reduce the intellectual decline of the patients. This deficiency in mental personality is an important limitation to rehabilitation which remains the aim of medical attention.
