Objectives: The determination of anesthetic depth has been used to assess the optimal moment for applying electrical stimuli in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), as some of the anesthetics used can reduce its effectiveness. In this study, seizure quality was assessed using anesthetic depth measurement with the patient state index (PSI).
Methods: A prospective experimental study was conducted with a control group, including a sample of 346 stimulations (PSI=134; Control=212) in 51 patients admitted and diagnosed with major depressive disorders.
There is a wealth of information on early pharmacological supportive treatment for early rehabilitation following acute ischemic stroke. This review aims to provide healthcare professionals involved in rehabilitating patients with a summary of the available evidence to assist with decision-making in their daily clinical practice. A search for randomized clinical trials and observational studies published between 1/1/2000 and 28/8/2022 was performed using PubMed, Cochrane and Epistemonikos as search engines with language restriction to english and spanish.

- The study investigates how road traffic noise impacts the cognitive development of children, focusing on working memory and attention in kids aged 7 to 10 in Barcelona.
- Researchers followed 2,680 children from 38 schools and conducted multiple cognitive tests while measuring both indoor and outdoor noise levels around schools and homes.
- The analysis utilized mixed models to account for various factors such as age, sex, and socioeconomic status, aiming to better understand the relationship between noise exposure and cognitive performance in children.
Background: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare medical condition that primarily affects young adults. The clinical spectrum is broad and its recognition remains a challenge for clinicians. Limited information is available on CVT in Argentina.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Traffic-related air pollution is emerging as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and impaired brain development. Individual differences in vulnerability to air pollution may involve the ε4 allele of () gene, the primary genetic risk factor for AD.
Objective: We analyzed whether the association between traffic air pollution and neurodevelopmental outcomes is modified by ε4 status in children.
