Environmental impact of commonly used anaesthetic agents: systematic literature review with narrative synthesis.

Background: Increasing awareness of the potential environmental impact of volatile anaesthetic agents has stimulated increased use of total i.v. anaesthesia.

Aberrant salience signaling in auditory processing in schizophrenia: Evidence for abnormalities in both sensory processing and emotional reactivity.

It has been long known that people with schizophrenia (SZ) have deficits in perceptual processing, including in the auditory domain. Furthermore, they often experience increased emotional responsivity and dysregulation, which further impacts overall functioning. Increased emotional responsivity to auditory stimuli is also seen in people with misophonia, a condition in which specific sounds elicit robust negative emotional responses.

Analgesia for emergency laparotomy: a systematic review.

Poorly controlled pain is common after emergency laparotomy. It causes distress, hinders rehabilitation, and predisposes to complications: prolonged hospitalisation, persistent pain, and reduced quality of life. The aim of this systematic review was to compare the relative efficacies of pre-emptive analgesia for emergency laparotomy to inform practice.

Bayesian Optimization of Neurostimulation (BOONStim).

Background: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment response is influenced by individual variability in brain structure and function. Sophisticated, user-friendly approaches, incorporating both established functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and TMS simulation tools, to identify TMS targets are needed.

Objective: The current study presents the development and validation of the Bayesian Optimization of Neuro-Stimulation (BOONStim) pipeline.
