Article Synopsis
- Current treatments for schizophrenia are inadequate, with no effective options for negative symptoms or cognitive issues, leading researchers to explore neuromodulation techniques like repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a potential solution.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of rTMS studies involving schizophrenia found that while certain adverse effects (like headache and dizziness) were more common with active rTMS, the overall safety profile indicated no increased risk of severe side effects compared to sham treatments.
- The study concludes that rTMS is safe and generally well-tolerated in people with schizophrenia, suggesting it does not pose a higher risk of adverse effects, including seizures, than seen in the general population.*
Introduction: Cardiogenic shock (CS) complicates 5%-15% of cases of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with inpatient mortality greater than 40%. The implementation of standardised protocols may improve clinical outcomes in patients with AMI-CS.
Methods And Analysis: The Durango model is a prospective single-centre registry designed to enable early identification of patients with STEMI-CS to facilitate primary reperfusion therapy with a shock team management algorithm in a rural level II heart attack centre.
In polarimetric imaging, degree and angle of linear polarization (DoLP and AoLP, respectively) are computed from ratios of Stokes parameters. In snapshot imagers, DoLP and AoLP are degraded by inherent mismatches between the spatial bandwidth of the S, S, and S parameters reconstructed by demosaicking from microgrid polarizer array (MPA)-sampled data. To overcome this, we rigorously show that log-MPA-sampled data approximately decouples DoLP and AoLP from the intensity component (S) in the spatial Fourier domain.

Introduction: Granulomatosis with polyangeitis or Wegener's disease is a necrotizing vasculitis of small and medium vessels associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA). The most frequent sites are lung, ear, nose and throat and kidney.
Patients And Methods: We report the case of a 47-year-old woman presenting purpuric oedematous plaque with bullous detachment of the nose and hospitalised for the assessment of two suspicious neoplastic lung lesions discovered as a result of a recent stroke and repeated seromucosal otitis.
