Defining optimal parameters for stimulation is a critical step in the development of noninvasive neuromodulation techniques. Transcranial pulsed current (tPCS) emerging as another option field neuromodulation; however, little known about its mechanistic effects on electrical brain activity and how it can modulate oscillatory patterns. The aim this study was to identify intensity needed exert an effect quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) measurements. Forty healthy volunteers were...

Solid organ transplantation has greatly improved survival in children with end-stage disease, becoming one of the main treatment options this population.Nonetheless, there are significant challenges associated validating and optimizing effects these interventions clinical trials.Therefore, we reviewed issues related to conducting research children.We divided into three different categories: (i) surgical techniques anesthetic procedures, (ii) post-transplant care (iii) specific a particular...

Objective A recent review showed that rTMS and tDCS are associated with initial efficacy for the treatment of chronic pain in fibromyalgia (FM). Based on these positive findings, there has been an interest testing modified methods FM. Our aim was to studies published after this review. Methods We screened electronic databases including Medline/Pubmed, Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, Embase, Google Scholar Scopus Elsevier, entering keywords “fibromyalgia” “HD-tDCS”, “HD-direct current...

Abstract BACKGROUND Meningiomas are common intracranial neoplasms with female predominance and sharply rising incidence in the perimenopausal years. As they often express estrogen receptors, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) poses a theoretical risk inducing accelerated growth. Although HRT has been linked to slightly increased incidence, its actual effect on meningioma growth-rate had not studied clinical population. AIM: We aimed retrospectively compare tumor characteristics grow-rates of...
