A major part of the analyst's task is to discover the basis for the patient's misidentification of his present life situation with significant but threatening events of his earlier life, now repressed and inaccessible to conscious recall. Reconstructing the patient's history is a crucial step in this process of discovery, but the dynamic relation between the present and the past must be reconstructed as well. The structure of the manifest dream contains the key to this relation. The imagery of the dream is a composite of experimental materials drawn from important drive-related events of the present and the past. The complex formed by the manifest dream and the patient's associations provides the analyst with data about both of these distinct sets of drive-related experiences. As Freud's discussion of his M elusine dream illustrates, one associative thread can be traced to an experience that incorporates a conflicted current wish. Another thread will lead to an experience in which a repressed wish of childhood has been expressed. Where the two associative threads converge, in the composite imagery of the dream, the basis for the identification between the wishes of the present and the past will be exposed. An understanding of the structure of the manifest dream helps to clarify some of the important theoretical issues left unresolved in Freud's writings. These include: the function of the day residue and the mechanism through which it is formed, the relation of the screen memory to the associative process, and the differing roles of condensation and displacement in dream construction and free association. A simple procedure is described for enhancing the recovery of the significant childhood memories whose details have been incorporated into the composite imagery of the manifest dream.

Multicentre study conducted across centres in the USA, Europe and Australia to assess the safety and effectiveness of a bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation system for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea in adults: a protocol for a pivotal, multicentre, open-label, single-arm study.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is characterised by blood oxygen desaturations and sleep disruptions manifesting undesirable consequences. Existing treatments including oral appliances, positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy and surgically altering the anatomy of the pharynx have drawbacks including poor long-term adherence or often involving irreversible, invasive procedures. Bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) is a new treatment for managing OSA, and this study is intended to determine whether an HNS system is a safe and effective treatment option for adults with OSA.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the distribution of adverse events (AEs) related to Lecanemab in real-world settings based on FAERS database data.
Methods: Using the FAERS database, AE data related to Lecanemab was collected from Q3 2023 to Q2 2024. Signal mining was conducted using frequency and Bayesian methods to identify positive signals associated with Lecanemab.

Article Synopsis
- MandibuloAcral Dysplasia associated to MTX2 gene (MADaM) is an accelerated aging disease characterized by skin issues, growth delays, and heart-related problems.
- Research using mtx-2-deficient C. elegans (a type of worm) shows they exhibit similar aging characteristics to humans with MADaM, including rougher skin texture and poor mitochondrial function.
- The findings from various analyses support these worms as a promising model to explore MADaM's molecular mechanisms and help develop potential treatments.

Article Synopsis
- Morvan syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder primarily affecting males, characterized by symptoms like muscle twitching, autonomic disturbances, and severe sleep issues, often linked to specific autoantibodies.
- Current treatments include various immunotherapies, but no long-term cure exists, prompting interest in alternative therapies like traditional Chinese medicine.
- Three patients with serum Caspr2-positive Morvan syndrome showed some relief from traditional treatments but experienced disease recurrence, indicating the complexity and unpredictability of the condition.
