This study aims to explore and investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of individualized localization of transcranial magnetic stimulation on emotional blunting of depression, improve the understanding of the mechanism of emotional blunting of depression, order to provide new treatment methods and better curative effects for this disease.

Background Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is proven to improve survival and heart function of patient with certain electrical conduction abnormality and heart failure. However, in patient with certain electrical conduction abnormality, being nonresponder is observed in up to 40% in patient receiving CRT. Conventionally the surgical approach of CRT is to implant one pacing lead in the right heart and one in the left heart to resynchronize the contraction and the pacing lead in the left heart is usually placed in the posterior or lateral portion of the left heart. However, this single approach may not be optimal, especially for those patients with conduction abnormality known to have no response to CRT. Purpose of the clinical investigation The purpose of the Activation Pattern and Acute Hemodynamics of His and Left Bundle Pacing is to study the acute effect on the heart function and conduction abnormality of His and left bundle pacing in conventional CRT candidate. During CRT implantation, Hisbundle lead and Left bundle pacing lead will be placed and the acute effect on heart function will be studied by a wire placed in the left ventricle of the heart and the activation pattern will be studied by a noninvasive global mapping system. The pacing approach that optimally corrects conduction abnormality and improvement on the heart function acutely will be determined

Current guidelines for the cardioversion of paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation at the Emergency Department do not prioritize between antiarrhythmic agents and do not consider the time taken for successful cardioversion. Furthermore, the use of flecainide -a class 1C antiarrhythmic agent- is contraindicated for the cardioversion of patients with revascularized coronary artery disease, as well as patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and preserved ejection fraction. These recommendations stem from insufficient data, mainly from the CAST study. The present study is a prospective, multicentre, randomized clinical trial. The primary goals of this clinical trial are to prove the superiority of flecainide over amiodarone in the successful cardioversion of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation at the Emergency Department, and to prove that the safety of flecainide is non-inferior to amiodarone, in patients with coronary artery disease without residual ischemia and ejection fraction over 35%. The secondary goals of the study are to prove the superiority of flecainide over amiodarone in the reduction of hospitalizations from the Emergency Department due to atrial fibrillation, in the time taken to achieve cardioversion, and to the reduction of the need to conduct electrical cardioversion. The study population will be all consecutive new-comers to the Emergency Department with primary diagnosis of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and history of coronary artery disease without angina, without residual ischemia and with ejection fraction > 35%. The sample size will be 200 patients, who will be monitored for 30 days. At the Emergency Department, all patients will be under continuous ECG monitoring, and a 24-hour ECG device will also be placed (Holter). The patients will be randomized to the treatment group (flecainide) and the control group (amiodarone). Patients in both arms will stay at the ED for a total of 6 hours after therapy initiation. If no adverse events occur in this time, the patient will be discharged from the ED. Otherwise, the patient will be admitted to the hospital. At 24 hours, the patients will visit the study centre for physical examination, ECG, cardiac ultrasound, 24-hour ECG removal and adverse events evaluation. At 30 days, follow-up via phone calls will be conducted for the evaluation of the study outcomes and adverse events.

This is a single center, open-label, dose increasing study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic(PK) profile, and antitumor efficacy of KL340399 intratumoral in patients with advanced solid tumors.

This study is a randomized controlled trial conducted to compare the effects of synchronous and asynchronous telerehabilitation programs on pain, disability, and quality of life parameters in patients with shoulder tendinopathy in the Marmara University Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department.

Subthalamic nucleus (STN)-deep brain stimulation (DBS) under general anesthesia has been applied to PD patients who cannot tolerate awake surgery, but general anesthesia will affect the electrical signal in microelectrode recording (MER) to some degree. This study is a prospective randomized controlled, noninferiority study, open label, endpoint outcome evaluator blinded, two-arm study. Parkinson's disease patients undergoing STN-DBS are randomly divided into a conscious sedation group (dexmedetomidine) and a general anesthesia group (desflurane). Normalized root mean square (NRMS) is used to compare the difference of neuronal activity between the two groups. The primary outcome is the percentage of high NRMS recorded by the MER signal (with the average NRMS recorded by MER after entering the STN greater than 2.0). The secondary outcomes are the NRMS, length of the STN, number of MER tracks, and differences in clinical outcomes 6 months after the operation.

This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of QL1706 in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.

Scoliosis can be defined as a 3-dimensional deformity in which the lateral deviation and rotation of the vertebrae occur, as well as changes in the physiological curves of the spine. The gold standard criterion is that the Cobb angle, which determines the lateral deviation of the spine in the frontal plane, is greater than 10°. Postural control and balance occur as a result of the integration of many sensory information. It is thought that postural control and balance in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients are adversely affected by biomechanical changes in sensory input, central integration, weight transfer mechanism and the structure of the medulla spinalis. In addition to these, vestibular disorders and proprioceptive losses may have an effect on balance. Decline in balance reduces the quality of life of individuals with AIS. In addition, exercise has an important place in the treatment of individuals with AIS. In order to get more efficiency from the exercises, it is necessary to improve the balance. The aim of this study is to evaluate the changes in balance and proprioception of patients, to determine the place of balance exercises in the treatment of individuals with AIS, and to investigate the effect of core stabilization exercises on balance and proprioception in patients with AIS.

This is a prospective, open label, multi-center, interventional study to assess the safety and efficacy of Druvalumab plus Tremelimumab as first-line treatment in Chinese patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.
