Article Synopsis
- Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) showed unusual brain activity, and a study tested standardized weighted low-resolution electromagnetic tomography Z-score neurofeedback (swLZNFB) to see if it could help with depression and anxiety symptoms.
- Forty-eight patients were divided into a treatment group receiving swLZNFB and a control group, with both groups assessed using depression and anxiety scales and EEG before and after treatment.
- Results indicated that the swLZNFB group experienced significant reductions in depression and anxiety scores, EEG abnormalities, and changes in brain activity, suggesting that this neurofeedback method could be an effective intervention for MDD.
The UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3; UCLA-LSV3) is widely used for assessing loneliness. Nevertheless, the validity of this scale for assessing loneliness in individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder has not been determined. Additionally, studies validating the eight-item and three-item versions of UCLA-LSV3 have not included individuals with severe mental illness; therefore, whether the short versions are comparable to the full 20-item version of UCLA-LSV3 for this population is unclear.

We hypothesized that posttreatment LVEF has superior predictive value for long-term prognosis than LVEF at admission does.
Methods And Results: In Protocol 1, 428 acute decompensated HF (ADHF) patients with LVEF ≤35% in a tertiary medical center were enrolled and followed for a mean period of 34.
