چکیده
Abstract Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of circuits involved in mood regulation is a novel tool that being investigated as potential treatment for some the most severe patients with disorders. At UTHealth Houston, we have had an ongoing clinical trial DBS medial forebrain bundle (MFB). Our preliminary results suggest effects alleviating depressive symptoms this very severe, refractory patient group. In presentation, will review our latest findings, and also discuss MFB on measures suicidality population. Disclosure Interest None Declared

Antidepressant-like Effects of Medial Forebrain Bundle Deep Brain Stimulation in Rats are not Associated With Accumbens Dopamine Release.
BACKGROUND Medial forebrain bundle (MFB) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is currently being investigated in patients with treatment-resistant depression. Striking features of this therapy are the large number of patients who respond to treatment and the rapid nature of the antidepressant response. OBJECTIVE To study antidepressant-like behavioral responses, changes in regional brain activity, an...

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
A Decade of Experience with Deep Brain Stimulation for patients with Refractory Medial Temporal Lobe epilepsy
In this study, we present long-term results from patients with medial temporal lobe (MTL) epilepsy treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS). Since 2001, 11 patients (8M) with refractory MTL epilepsy underwent MTL DBS. When unilateral DBS failed to decrease seizures by > 90%, a switch to bilateral MTL DBS was proposed. After a mean follow-up of 8.5 years (range: 67-120 months), 6/11 patients ha...
