Background: To evaluate the eligibility and feasibility of the "Voice Modules in Narcology" (VMIN) program.

Material And Methods: We developed a computer program to screen for risky alcohol or drug use, utilizing an interactive voice assistant as a motivational component. Given the low detection of such risks during population health examinations and medical check-ups, this program could allow the primary healthcare sector to expand screening coverage for risky alcohol and drug use without additional medical personnel.

Article Synopsis
  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a major global health concern with limited treatment options, leading researchers to investigate non-invasive therapies like repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to improve cognitive function in patients.
  • A systematic review and meta-analysis of 22 studies found that high-frequency rTMS, especially targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, significantly enhanced cognitive abilities in AD patients with a moderate effect size.
  • While the findings are promising, they also revealed substantial variability among studies and potential publication bias, indicating the need for further investigation to optimize rTMS treatment parameters.
