Magnetoencephalographic recordings, external picoTesla Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (pT-TMS) and a double blind experimental design were used for the evaluation of 10 epilepsy patients (three males, seven females). Their ages ranged from 23 to 48 years. Our results showed an enhancement in the 2-7 Hz frequency range in five out of nine patients who had a statistically significant difference (55%). The pT-TMS could be a significant means for the treatment of epilepsy. Further research should be done prior to have final conclusions.

Purpose: Perioperative metabolic acidosis negatively affects patient outcomes. Perioperative fluid therapy has a clinically significant effect on acid-base balance. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of isotonic sodium bicarbonate infusion (ISB) versus balanced crystalloid solution (BCS) on perioperative acid-base balance, in terms of postoperative base excess, among patients undergoing emergency laparotomy for perforation peritonitis.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04878016) conducted in 54 hospitals in China. Adults who were histologically diagnosed and never treated for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) were enrolled.

Chronic intraoral neuropathic pain (NP), often developing post-dental procedures, poses significant management challenges. The prevalent use of systemic treatments, with their frequent substantial side effects, emphasizes the need for alternative therapeutic strategies. Our aim is to explore the efficacy and adherence with a topical drug regimen delivered through a neurosensory stent (NS) for treating chronic neuropathic pain (NP) within the oral cavity.

Background: Soluble species of multimeric amyloid-beta including globular amyloid-beta oligomers (AβOs) and linear amyloid-beta protofibrils are toxic to neurons. Sabirnetug (ACU193) is a humanized monoclonal antibody, raised against globular species of soluble AβO, that has over 650-fold greater binding affinity for AβOs over monomers and appears to have relatively little binding to amyloid plaque.
Objectives: To assess safety, pharmacokinetics, and exploratory measures including target engagement, biomarker effects, and clinical efficacy of sabirnetug in participants with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease (AD; defined as mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia due to AD).

Background: There are no approved oral disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess efficacy and safety of blarcamesine (ANAVEX®2-73), an orally available small-molecule activator of the sigma-1 receptor (SIGMAR1) in early AD through restoration of cellular homeostasis including autophagy enhancement.
Design: ANAVEX2-73-AD-004 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 48-week Phase IIb/III trial.
