Article Synopsis
  • - The study reviewed the effectiveness and safety of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) for treating schizophrenia, finding it does not significantly reduce psychotic symptoms compared to sham treatment.
  • - Three randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with 80 patients were analyzed, revealing that while dTMS didn’t improve overall psychopathology, it possibly enhanced some aspects of executive function.
  • - The review indicated moderate dropout rates (16.7% to 44.4%) and some reported side effects, like tingling and discomfort, highlighting the need for more extensive RCTs to explore dTMS's impact on schizophrenia further.

Objective: To study the value of transesophageal atrial pacing (TEAP) in neonates with tachyarrhythmia.

Methods: The clinical data of 26 neonates with tachyarrhythmia who underwent TEAP electrophysiological examination or cardioversion were collected.

Results: Of the 26 neonates, 15(58%) were diagnosed with atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, 3(12%) were diagnosed with sinus tachycardia, 3(12%) were diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia, 2(8%) were diagnosed with fast/slow atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, 2(8%) were diagnosed with atrial tachycardia, and 1(4%) was diagnosed with sinus tachycardia with ventricular preexcitation.
