Recurrent clonazepam withdrawal delirium in a postoperative neurosurgical patient: a case report.

We present a case of benzodiazepine withdrawal delirium in a middle-aged man undergoing spinal surgery. Benzodiazepines were stopped prior to surgery and on postoperative day 4, the patient exhibited significant paranoia, hyperarousal and ideas of reference. Patient's symptoms resolved after reintroduction of his benzodiazepines.

REM Sleep and Total Sleep Time Improvement After Routine Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Active Duty Service Members With Depression.

Objectives: The prevalence of depression and insomnia in the military are substantial. Several transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies have used self-report sleep data as secondary research outcomes; however, there are limited studies using the gold standard of polysomnography (PSG) to ascertain actual sleep changes. Here, we provide data from a pilot and feasibility study using PSG to measure sleep changes after repetitive TMS.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Treatment-Resistant Depression in Active-Duty Service Members Improves Depressive Symptoms.

Objectives: Current research on the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex as a noninvasive therapy for treatment-resistant depression is largely settled science. However, little is known about its efficacy with active-duty service members (ADSMs) with major depressive disorder. In a retrospective chart review, we examined depressive symptom ratings in ADSMs seeking treatment at the US Army Outpatient Behavioral Health Service Clinic at Eisenhower Army Medical Center, Fort Gordon, Ga.
