Transcranial direct current stimulation in patients with depression: An electric field modeling meta-analysis.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) has shown potential in modulating cortical activity and treating depression. Despite its promise, variability in electrode montage configurations and electric field strength across studies has resulted in inconsistent outcomes. Traditional meta-analytic methods assessing the effect of tDCS in depression typically do not compare tDCS montage and the anatomical distribution of electric field, which is a major source of inter-experimental variability.

[Preventing dental anxiety in adults and children].

PREVENTING DENTAL ANXIETY IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN. In 2014, according to INSEE, dental anxiety affected 7% of the French population. Severity of anxiety can range from minor to severe, minor anxiety manifesting for patients as physical symptoms without compromising dental care to severe anxiety by avoiding dental consultation and compromising dental care.

Study on the efficiency of virtual reality in the treatment of alcohol use disorder: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial : E-Reva.

Context: According to the World Health Organization, alcohol is a major global public health problem, leading to a significant increase in illness and death. To treat alcohol use disorders, new therapeutic tools are being promoted, among which virtual reality (VR) shows promise. Previous research has demonstrated the efficacy of VR in reducing alcohol cravings in patients, but there is a lack of data on its effectiveness in maintaining abstinence or reducing consumption in recently abstinent individuals.

[Eco-anxiety: an emerging disorder linked to climate change].

AN EMERGING DISORDER LINKED TO CLIMATE CHANGE. Eco-anxiety is the chronic fear of an environmental disaster, particularly in relation to global warming. Emerging in the 1990s, this concern is increasingly developing in all countries, especially among younger generations.
