Deep Brain Stimulation is a form of neurostimulation where electrical stimulation is delivered via intracranial electrodes over specific subcortical targets. It has been increasingly used as an alternative to ablative procedures for psychiatric disorders refractory to standard treatments. This review describes the common psychiatric indications for DBS, the current evidence base, putative mechanisms, and future directions.

We present the case of a 58-year-old man with metastatic medullary thyroid carcinoma refractory to conventional therapies, including peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. Despite multiple interventions, serum calcitonin and carcinoembryonic antigen levels continued to rise. Subsequent evaluation with 99mTc-FAPI-46 revealed remarkable uptake in metastatic lesions, suggesting a potential role for FAPI-labeled radioisotopes in the management of medullary thyroid carcinoma.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by abnormal discharges of neurons in the brain, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Although there are various drug treatments available, many epilepsy patients still experience seizures with the effect of drugs and develop refractory epilepsy. The ketogenic diet can treat drug-refractory epilepsy by regulating the body's metabolism and can enhance the quality of life by improving their cognition, behavior, and sleep quality.

Purpose: Brentuximab vedotin (BV) is hypothesized to selectively deplete T regulatory cells (Tregs) that express CD30 and re-sensitize tumors to anti-(PD-1) therapy. This study evaluated responses to BV+pembrolizumab post PD-1 and explored corresponding biomarkers.
Methods: 55 patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and 58 with metastatic cutaneous melanoma received ≥1 dose of BV+pembrolizumab.
