Objectives: Initial deep brain stimulation (DBS) programming using a monopolar review is time-consuming, subjective, and burdensome. Incorporating neurophysiology has the potential to expedite, objectify, and automatize initial DBS programming. We aimed to assess the feasibility and performance of clinically implemented sensing-based initial DBS programming for Parkinson's disease (PD).

The present study therefore investigated whether 1) the significance of conflict issues changes during inpatient psychodynamic psychotherapy, and whether 2) greater changes in the significance of conflicts are associated with a greater reduction in symptoms.
Method: 113 patients provided information on their symptoms (BSI-18) and the significance of six OPD conflict themes in active and passive mode (12 conflict scales) by self-report on admission and discharge.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of the cannabinoid CB1 receptor in atherosclerosis using a transgenic mouse model, focusing on myeloid-specific CB1 signalling.
- Male Cnr1-deficient mice developed smaller atherosclerotic lesions and showed reduced inflammatory responses compared to controls, while differences in females were less significant.
- The findings suggest that impaired CB1 signalling in macrophages could be protective against atherosclerosis in males, with the effects being influenced by sex hormones like oestrogen.
Attachment has mostly been investigated as a stable characteristic of individuals, although theoretical considerations and recent empirical findings suggest that attachment styles are also subject to change. When attachment is investigated as a treatment factor in psychotherapy, state and trait characteristics need to be differentiated, as they warrant different conclusions. This study examined the trait- and statelike characteristics of attachment styles over the course of inpatient psychotherapy as predictors of treatment outcome.
