Efficacy and safety of transcranial direct current stimulation over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a randomized, triple-blinded, sham-controlled, crossover trial.

Introduction: Although pharmacological treatment for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has demonstrated efficacy, several individuals persist in experiencing social and academic impairment. Additionally, the occurrence of significant side effects may render the use of psychotropic medications untenable. However, Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, shows promising results in treating ADHD.

The effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on attention and inhibitory control of children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): Study protocol for a randomized, sham-controlled, triple-blind, cross-over trial.

Abstract: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity. Despite the proven efficacy of pharmacological treatment, many individuals continue to suffer socially and academically and some experience significant side effects that negate the use psychotropic drugs. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a cortical neuromodulation feature that has shown positive results in the treatment of various neuropsychiatric conditions.

This paper was created by the Austrian Society of Pneumology (Working group Ventilation and Intensive Care) to summarize the specific characteristics of mechanical ventilation in patients presenting with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The main differences in pathophysiology and mechanical ventilation are shown, including acute respiratory failure and out-of-hospital mechanical ventilation.

Molecular networking prospection and characterization of terpenoids and C-acetogenins in Brazilian seaweed extracts.

Molecular networking (MN) can efficiently dereplicate extracts and pure compounds. Red algae of the genus are rich in halogenated secondary metabolites, mainly sesquiterpenes and C-acetogenins. Brown algae of the genus produce mainly C-hydrocarbons, sesquiterpenes and sulfur-containing compounds, while and are reported to contain mainly diterpenes.
