Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness and tolerance of two rTMS protocols in treating depression among 28 young patients.
- Results showed that 64.9% of patients responded positively to treatment, with similar outcomes regardless of the rTMS protocol used.
- Neurophysiological data suggested potential differences in how the two stimulation methods affect brain function, indicating a need for further research on their distinct mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effectiveness of rhythmic transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in treating resistant schizophrenia in 44 male patients divided into four symptom-specific groups: depressive, hallucinatory, negative, and delusional.
- After a 3-week rTMS treatment, significant improvements were observed in the depressive, hallucinatory, and negative symptom groups, with reductions in the PANSS scores, while the delusional group experienced an increase in symptoms.
- The findings support rTMS as a valuable supplementary treatment for resistant schizophrenia, emphasizing the need to tailor treatment to individual symptom profiles and improve rTMS techniques further.
Drug treatment of limb frostbite injuries is complicated due to the poor delivery of medications to affected tissues. External rewarming of the frostbitten area is risky and does not always result in positive outcomes because the dilatation of superficial vessels with constricted deep vessels can lead to irreversible damage, necrosis, and amputation. One of the techniques to restore perfusion of deep vessels in an affected extremity is rewarming with low-power microwave radiation in a specially designed metal chamber.

Rhythmic transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has long been actively used in the treatment of depressive disorders in various mental illnesses. At the same time, the question of the predictability of the results of this method for an individual patient remains open. Based on the existing ideas about the relationship of rTMS mechanisms with changes in the state of neural networks, one of the most perspective line is the search for prognostically significant neurophysiological markers.
