Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) are debilitating psychiatric disorders. While treatments are often effective, many patients do not adequately respond or experience significant side effects. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an emerging approach for treating PTSD and GAD.

Clinical course of congenital hypothyroidism with gland in situ and necessity of L-thyroxine therapy after re-evaluation.

Context: Clinical course and need for long-term L-thyroxine (LT4) therapy of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) with gland in situ (GIS) remain unclear.

Objective: To describe the clinical history of CH with GIS and evaluate the proportion of patients who can suspend therapy during follow-up.

Design And Setting: Retrospective evaluation of patients followed at referral regional center for CH of Pisa.

Thyroid autoimmunity in different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome: a single-center experience.

Purpose: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and 4 phenotypes have been described in this syndrome. The aim of this work was to investigate the frequency of anti-thyroid antibodies (TAb) and thyroid function in the 4 phenotypes of PCOS.

Patients: This study included 448 patients with PCOS: 260 (58.

Late-onset dyshormonogenic goitrous hypothyroidism due to a homozygous mutation of the SLC26A7 gene: a case report.

Background: In this study, we used targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) to investigate the genetic basis of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in a 19-year-old Tunisian man who presented with severe hypothyroidism and goiter.

Case Presentation: The propositus reported the appearance of goiter when he was 18. Importantly, he did not show signs of mental retardation, and his growth was proportionate.

Effects of Dual Task Training and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy: A Pilot Randomized Control Trial.

Objective: Compare the effectiveness of active and sham transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) during the training of a dual task in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods: Thirty children with CP were submitted to ten sessions of either active ( = 15) or sham ( = 15) tDCS over the motor cortex for 20 minutes during the training of a dual task. Pre-intervention, post-intervention and follow-up evaluations involved measures of functional performance, intellectual performance, functional mobility and cortical excitability.
