THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TRANSCRANIAL DIRECT CURRENT STIMULATION (TDCS) PROTOCOLS ON DRUG CRAVING AND COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS IN METHAMPHETAMINE ADDICTS

The Effect of Different Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) Protocols on Drug Craving and Cognitive Functions in Methamphetamine Addicts

Introduction: Drug craving is a major problem in addiction treatment.Neuroimaging research has revealed various areas for drug craving, among which two key areas are the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) and the cerebellum.The DLPFC is involved in different cognitive tasks, such as inhibitory control over seductive options that promise an imme

LIDAR-BASED MULTI-SENSOR MODULE DEVELOPMENT AND ASSESSMENT OF APPLICABILITY FOR DAMAGE INVESTIGATION OF INDOOR DISASTER

As the risk of disaster scenes increases, the number of cases of acquiring disaster scenes information using unmanned robots is increasing.Because unmanned robots can be remotely controlled, sensors such as LiDAR and optical cameras are installed so that investigators can safely observe disaster scenes and acquire information.In particular, the inf

Mechanisms of persistent atrial fibrillation and recurrences within 12 months post-ablation: Non-invasive mapping with electrocardiographic imaging

IntroductionCatheter ablation of persistent AF has not been consistently successful in terminating AF or preventing arrhythmia recurrences.Non-invasive Electrocardiographic Imaging (ECGI) can help to understand recurrences by mapping the mechanisms of pre-ablation AF and comparing them with the patterns of recurrent arrhythmias in the same patient.

Prevalence of Mutations in the pfcoronin Gene and Association with Ex Vivo Susceptibility to Common Quinoline Drugs against Plasmodium falciparum

Background: Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) was recommended to treat uncomplicated falciparum malaria.Unlike the situation in Asia where resistance to ACT has been reported, artemisinin resistance has not yet emerged in Africa.However, some rare failures with ACT or patients continuing to be parasitaemic on day 3 after ACT treatment hav
