  • Imaging studies of major depressive disorder have reported structural and functional abnormalities in a variety of spatially diverse brain regions. (psychiatryonline.org)
  • In past research, different brainwaves have been shown to be associated with different moods and brain states, so these patients were asked to concentrate on changing the levels of particular types of brainwaves as they were displayed on a computer screen. (news-medical.net)
  • Powerful magnetic pulses applied to the scalp to stimulate the brain can bring fast relief to many severely depressed patients for whom standard treatments have failed. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Now, research led by Stanford Medicine scientists has found that the treatment works by reversing the direction of abnormal brain signals. (sciencedaily.com)
  • This was the perfect test to see if TMS has the ability to change the way that signals flow through the brain," said Mitra, who is lead author of the study. (sciencedaily.com)
  • There was no increase in FA in any brain region in patients. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Study limitations included its open-label nature, small sample size, stimulation of a single brain region, fixed stimulation frequencies and intersession intervals, and the lack of state-dependent simulations. (medpagetoday.com)
  • Exer-cise jolts your brain into action, and not just because of the endor-phin high … 'Obe-si-ty and depres-sion are both major glob-al health chal-lenges, and our study pro-vides the most robust evi-dence to date that high-er BMI caus-es depres-sion,' said lead author Jess O'Lough-lin.

  • Moderate exercise for 20 minutes after a sleepless night can improve brain power, a new study has found. (medicaldaily.com)
  • This study compares the effectiveness of two different patterns of stimulating multiple brain regions. (ninet.ca)
  • The study was led by Anish Mitra, MD, Ph.D., in collaboration with Mark Raichle, MD, and Nolan Williams, MD. Mitra, who developed a mathematical tool to analyze functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during his time as a graduate student at Washington University in Saint Louis, applied this technique to investigate the effects of TMS on brain activity. (thedailyscience.org)
  • According to Nolan Williams, the treatment allowed them to reverse the abnormality in space and time, making the patients' brain activity resemble that of healthy individuals. (thedailyscience.org)
  • The trial consisted of 135 patients diagnosed with MDD who were resistant to SSRI/SNRI treatment. (wikipedia.org)
  • Our study tested 66 healthy volunteers who were either given a placebo or the SSRI drug, escitalopram, for at least 21 days. (theconversation.com)
  • The lower reinforcement sensitivity noted in the escitalopram group may be similar to the blunting effect ( feeling emotionally numb ) often reported by patients during SSRI treatment. (theconversation.com)
  • Both light and tryptophan have a therapeutic effect in the treatment of seasonal affective disorder. (greenmedinfo.com)
  • Linezolid dosing and clinical management was provider driven, and most patients had linezolid adjusted by therapeutic drug monitoring. (cdc.gov)
  • Using an initial 600-mg linezolid dose daily adjusted by therapeutic drug monitoring and careful clinical and laboratory monitoring for adverse effects, supportive care, and expert consultation throughout BPaL treatment, 3 patients (4.4%) with hematologic toxicity and 4 (5.9%) with neurotoxicity required a change in linezolid dose or frequency. (cdc.gov)
  • All participants were followed for 1 year to investigate the incidence of treatment resistance. (psychiatrist.com)
  • The incidence of treatment-emergent serious adverse events from day 2 to week 3 was 6.3% (five patients) in the 25-mg group, 8.0% (six patients) in the 10-mg group, and 1.3% (one patient) in the 1-mg group. (medscape.com)
  • Indeed, there is a general agreement that the incidence of neurobehavioral disorders is higher in patients with epilepsy than in the general population, although some authors argue that this apparent overrepresentation is due to sampling errors or inadequate control groups. (medscape.com)
  • Although undoubtedly important in the care of the patient with epilepsy, advances in neurologic diagnosis and treatment tended to obscure the behavioral manifestations of epilepsy until Gibbs drew attention to the high incidence of behavioral disorders in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.

  • Do not use fluoxetine within 14 days of stopping an MAOI intended to treat psychiatric disorders. (nih.gov)
  • ECT is usually used as a treatment of last resort to treat MDD [major depressive disorder] because, it is considered the most effective treatment for this condition, but it is also associated with the highest rate of side effects, such as memory problems, which in some people can persist far beyond the end of the ECT treatments.
