Authors: Samanta Amrita , Ghosh Santanu 
Published: August 2022

Background:
The role of being a caregiver of elderly patients with chronic psychiatric illnesses can be challenging. The objective of the current study was to determine and compare the family caregiver (FCG) burden of dementia and schizophrenic elderly patients and their associated sociodemographic factors.

Materials and Methods:
This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 122 randomly-selected FCGs of geriatric patients with dementia (84) and schizophrenia (38) in the psychiatry outpatient department of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata. The original 22 items Zarit Burden Interview tool was used to assess caregiver burden. Data were analyzed in SPSS Version 20.0. The Mann–Whitney U-tests and Chi-square test were performed for bivariate analyses. Value of P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
Median age (inter quartile range) of dementia and schizophrenia patients were 74 (13) years and 67 (6) years, respectively. All FCGs studied were burdened with caregiving. FCGs of the schizophrenic group were more burdened than those of the dementia group (median score: 66 vs. 45, P = 0.000016). The female gender of patients and caregivers, years of institutional education, years of illness of the patient, and dependence on the caregiver for activities of daily living were positively associated with burden in both the groups. For FCGs of dementia patients, patients being widowed or separated (P = 0.00128), belonging to Islam by religion (P = 0.0083) and joint families (P = 0.00672), lower monthly family income (P = 0.00021), no current income of patient (P = 0.0001), higher monthly expenditure on patients (P = 0.0000), and the presence of chronic ailments requiring regular treatment (P = 0.00078) were found to be significantly associated with more burden.

Conclusion:
Field-based strategies addressing the caregiver burden of geriatric psychiatric patients must be developed and integrated into the existing health-care system.

The participants were divided into two groups based on the respondents BMI. TOS was measured colorimetrically. Data was analyzed using IBM-SPSS version 25. Mann Whitney U test compared TOS levels between non obese and obese subjects.
Results: Fifty percent of the subjects had a normal BMI while 50% were obese according to the Asian Pacific criteria for BMI.Fifty-two percent of the population were males while forty-eight percent of the population was females. Group I (non obese) consisted of 55% males and 45% females with a significant difference in the levels of TOS. The population in Group II (obese) comprised of 50% males and females each also showing significant difference. Thirty-six percent (n=58) of the total population had active lifestyle while sixty-four percent (n=102) of the population had a sedentary lifestyle. While in Group 1(non obese) (64%) had an active lifestyle whereas the rest were sedentary. In comparison only 9% of group II subjects (obese) had an active lifestyle while the remainder were sedentary. A significant difference in level of TOS were seen when compared between subjects with active versus sedentary lifestyle in respective groups. A significant difference (p=0.03) was seen when TOS was compared between subjects with Active lifestyle 4.15(3.17- 5.42) µmol/lversus subjects with sedentary lifestyle 4.9(3.70-7.22) µmol/l.
Conclusion: Increased levels of TOS were seen in young healthy obese as compared to non-obese. Both non obese and obese females had higher levels of TOS in comparison to males due to greater levels of body fat percentage. Subjects with a sedentary lifestyle have raised levels of TOS in comparison to subjects with active lifestyle.
Revision of Carapichea (Rubiaceae-Psychotrieae) in the Guianas, with two new combinations and transfer of three species to Notopleura
Authors: Lachenaud Olivier , Delprete Piero 
Published: August 2022

Background and aims – The genus Carapichea (Rubiaceae), recently resurrected and separated from Psychotria, currently includes 24 Neotropical species and is morphologically heterogeneous. A revision of the genus in the Guianas is presented here, as part of the authors’ work on the Rubiaceae treatment in the Flora of the Guianas series.
Material and methods – This paper is based on a study of herbarium specimens from BBS, BM, BR, BRB, CAY, INPA, K, P, P-JJR, and U; type specimens from other herbaria were consulted online. Some of the species were also studied in the field by the authors. Normal practices of herbarium taxonomy have been applied.
Results – Three species previously included in Carapichea (C. altsonii, C. nivea, and C. sandwithiana) show aberrant characters for the genus and are transferred to Notopleura; new combinations are published for the former two (N. altsonii and N. nivea). Eight species of Carapichea, one of them still imperfectly known, are recorded from the Guianas; a ninth species, C. araguariensis, is included in this revision as it is expected to occur in the region. New combinations are published for two species: Carapichea galbaoensis and C. squamelligera, based on Psychotria galbaoensis and P. squamelligera, respectively; the former species was previously included in synonymy of C. guianensis, which is here redefined in a narrower sense. The delimitation of C. ligularis is expanded to include C. pacimonica as a synonym. The first records of C. adinantha in French Guiana – and the Guiana Shield – are documented. The taxonomy of the two remaining species, C. tillettii and C. urniformis, is left unchanged. For every species a complete description is presented, as well as data on distribution, ecology, phenology, local names (when known), and a list of collections studied.
