High-frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Targeting Left Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex for Depression Ameliorates Insomnia yet Triggers Excessive Daytime Sleepiness: A Catch-22 Situation.
Indian J Psychol Med

Article Synopsis
- Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a safe and effective treatment for depression that doesn't require surgery.
- A patient with treatment-resistant depression experienced improvements in both insomnia and depressive symptoms after high-frequency rTMS, but also developed excessive daytime sleepiness during treatment.
- The study indicates a possible link between rTMS and increased sleepiness, and discusses the broader implications of rTMS on sleep patterns.
Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe and effective treatment option for various psychiatric disorders. However, its widespread use is limited by prevalent negative attitudes and stigma, not only within the general public but also among healthcare professionals. This study aimed to develop and validate a workshop-based educational module, titled the "Basic Course in ECT," for medical students.

Here, we successfully isolated and cultivated a coculture system of a novel Nanobdellota archaeon YN1 and its host Sulfurisphaera ohwakuensis YN1HA. We characterized the coculture system by complementary methods, including metagenomics and metabolic pathway analysis, fluorescence microscopy, and high-resolution electron cryo-tomography (cryoET).
