Background: Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) offers a new approach for adult patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). The study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tACS treating MDD.
Methods: This is an 8-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study.
Background: Not all adults with chronic insomnia respond to the recommended therapeutic options of cognitive behavioral therapy and approved hypnotic drugs. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) may offer a novel potential treatment modality for insomnia.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of tACS for treating adult patients with chronic insomnia.
Aims: This study aimed to identify the clinical profiles of cervical spondylosis-related internal jugular vein stenosis (IJVS) comprehensively.
Methods: A total of 46 patients, who were diagnosed as IJVS induced by cervical spondylotic compression were recruited. The clinical manifestations and imaging features of IJVS were presented particularly in this study.
Unlabelled: To survey the epidemiological characteristics and clinical features on epilepsy in eight ethnic groups in Yunnan province of China.
Methodes: The investigation was based on the WHO questionnaire and ICBERG screening questionnaire. This study was performed through random cluster sampling and door-to-door survey.
[Intravenous thrombolysis directed by whole-brain computed tomographic perfusion:a case-control study].

November 2013
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for acute ischemic stroke using whole-brain computed tomographic perfusion (CTP) imaging.
- Sixty-five patients were analyzed based on established timeframes for IVT treatment, with primary outcomes focused on functional independence and serious adverse events at 14 days.
- The findings indicated no significant differences in outcomes across groups despite longer treatment times in the CTP cohort, and higher transfer rates for consultations were noted in the CTP group compared to others.
Objective: This review aims to illustrate the relationship between clinical features and the prognosis of patients with limb-shaking transient ischemic attack (LS-TIA).
Data Sources: Relevant articles published in two main Chinese medical periodical databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure and China Science Periodical Database) from 1986 to June 2013 were identified with keywords "limb shaking" and "transient ischemic attack".
Study Selection: Original articles and case reports about LS-TIA were selected.
[Correlation analysis of collateral circulation and clinical locations in patients with ischemic stroke].
Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi
December 2010
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the relationship between collateral circulation and where ischemic strokes occurred in 25 patients using MRI and DSA imaging.
- Results showed 46 arterial occlusions, with most cases having at least one collateral circulation, linking the presence of these collateral pathways to the locations of the strokes.
- The findings suggest that strong collateral circulation can develop naturally during cerebral artery blockages, potentially reducing the number of stroke areas if the Circle of Willis is intact.
