Art in its many expressions is a product of the evolved human brain, with its own neuronal networks. These pathways are more resistant to some pathological processes, as cerebrovascular disorders, acquired brain injury and particularly to Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. As education, bilingualism, intellectual challenging jobs, and healthy life style are all inductors of cognitive reserve, We are proposing that many expressions of Art as, Music, Painting, and Writing should be also considered as Reserve Capacity builders.

A systematic review was conducted of 51 English-language papers published since 2000 in the following databases: PsycNet, Ebsco, and Science Direct. Findings reveal a high comorbidity of depression in older adults. Moreover, they also exhibit stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinsonism, with patterns of symptoms similar to those seen in depression resulting from disease impairment. Analysis shows that these diseases can also precede depression, even without an anatomical-functional link, due to the psychosocial burden borne by the patient. Depression is also seen as a risk factor for stroke and diabetes. Longitudinal studies are suggested to judiciously characterize etiological paths for depression more extensively.

The most frequent cutaneous lymphoma of T cells is mycosis fungoide, a chronic disease with an inadequate name and different phases of evolution. This paper reports the case of a 69 year-old male patient with mycosis fungoide, patch stage, who has developed three basal cell carcinomas, one treated with imiquimod, another treated with surgical excision and primary closure and the last one reconstructed with a rotation flap type O-Z.
