catatonia is a syndrome that can be treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ect). hence, onset of catatonia during treatment of patients with ect is not expected. in this manuscript, a schizoaffective disorder patient with a positive history of traumatic brain injury and no consumption of benzodiazepines is being reported, who became catatonic during ect.

in this paper, the structural properties of the b30n20 molecule have been investigated at b3lyp/6-31g (d) level of theory. the optimized structure and electronic properties calculations for the studiedmolecule have been performed using gaussian 03 program. a mathematical equation of third degreewas exploited for the correlation and exchange energy with the number of primitives. the naturalbondi...

Let X be a projective manifold, ρ : X̃ → X its universal covering and ρ∗ : V ect(X) → V ect(X̃) the pullback map for the isomorphism classes of vector bundles. This article establishes a connection between the properties of the pullback map ρ∗ and the properties of the function theory on X̃. We prove the following pivotal result: if a universal cover of a projective variety has no nonconstant holo...

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a useful yet controversial mode of treatment. Despite being in use for over 70 years, its mechanism of action (MOA) is still not clearly understood. Various theories on MOA of ECT have been proposed over the years. These have included looking at psychological, neurophysiological, neurochemical, neuroendocrine, and neuropeptides mechanisms.An attempt is made he...

That is, we cannot address animal oppression or talk about animal liberation without naming and subsequently dismantling settler colonial...

BACKGROUND In Canada, Aboriginal people are overrepresented in the HIV epidemic and infected at a younger age than non-Aboriginal people. This paper discusses some of the ways Aboriginal youth in Toronto understand HIV/AIDS risk and the relevance of their comments for HIV prevention education. This research is part of a larger study conducted with Ontario youth through the Gendering Adolescent ...

Background: Training methods to reduce the anxiety caused by the electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) should match the necessity of communicating with the patients suffering from mood disorders. Aim: This study aimed to compare the effects of face-to-face and multimedia education on the anxiety induced by the ECT. Method: This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 75 patients with mo...
