    Abstract Action monitoring deficit is a core underlying characteristic and endophenotype of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) is heavily involved in error monitoring and cognitive control, and the hyperactivity in this region is associated with OCD symptom severity. This study aimed to test whether low frequency (LF) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting dACC improves both error-monitoring performance and OCD symptoms in a randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind trial design. 20 OCD patients were randomly assigned to receive 20 sessions of Active (n = 10) or Sham (n = 10) rTMS administered twice-daily. Error-monitoring performance and symptom severity were measured pre- and post-treatment using Erikson Flanker tasks and the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), with three month symptom follow-up. Following active-but not sham-rTMS, patients showed improved response time for incongruent stimuli, trials following a correct response, and for reporting and correcting errors. Significant OCD symptom improvement was observed at one-month follow-up for patients who received Active (28.0% reduction) but not Sham (11.7% reduction) stimulation. In OCD patients, LF rTMS of the dACC can simultaneously improve on-line adjustment of behaviour-by enhancing the capacity for rapid error monitoring-and clinical symptoms, suggesting a link between error monitoring impairment and OCD pathophysiology.

    Abstract Aim: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is widely utilized as an effective treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD) with varying response rates. Factors associated with better treatment outcome remain scarce. This naturalistic retrospective chart review hopes to shed light on easily obtainable and measurable predictive factors for patients referred to rTMS.
    Methods: Protocol parameters, medication, rated scales, rTMS protocols, and treatment outcomes were reviewed for 196 patients with MDD who received rTMS at Saint Boniface Hospital between 2013 and 2019. Logistic regression and marginal effects were used to assess the different predictor variables for response (50% reduction or more on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (Ham-D)) and remission (Ham-D of ≤7 by the last session).
    Results: HamD at 10 sessions was predictive of remission, and Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) at 10 sessions was predictive of response to rTMS. Ham-D, SDS, and Beck Anxiety Inventory were predictive of remission and response by Beck Anxiety Inventory 20 sessions. High frequency rTMS had a similar response and remission rate to low frequency, but higher response rate to intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation with no difference in remission rate. Positive predictive factors of response were lower age and bupropion use. Negative predictive factors were antipsychotics, anticonvulsants, or benzodiazepine use. For remission, antipsychotics or anticonvulsants use were negative predictors; bupropion use and higher resting motor threshold were positive predictors. Severity of depression as measured by baseline HamD was not associated with different probabilities of treatment success.

    Abstract Background: When patients suddenly become restless and are unable to sit or stand still, especially in general medical settings, anxiety is often the topmost differential on every clinician's mind. However, the possibility of the very subjectively distressing condition called 'akathisia' should always be considered.
    Objective: The aim of this article is to discuss a clinical approach to the management of akathisia, drawing on the presentation of a patient who was admitted to a general medical ward.
    Discussion: Akathisia, a subjective and very distressing feeling of restlessness, has been found to be caused by a wide range of medications used in general medical settings, such as azithromycin, antiemetics and antipsychotics. Despite its high incidence and association with an increase in suicidal thoughts, it often goes unrecognised. This paper highlights the need for its early recognition, provides a diagnostic guide and an approach to its management.

    Abstract Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is typically accompanied by cognitive impairment. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) treatment for MDD involves stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex which plays an important role in cognition. This study aimed to identify differences in cognitive profiles between remitters and non-remitters to rTMS at baseline and across treatment. 25 patients with MDD performed cognitive tasks at baseline and after 6, 12 and 30 sessions of rTMS. At baseline, there was no difference in simple reaction time (RT) between groups, but remitters (n = 13) showed faster RTs than non-remitters (n = 12) in the Switch and No-Switch conditions of Task Switching. Across sessions, remitters showed a decrease in 3-Back omission errors and RTs to 3-Back, Stroop's Congruent and Incongruent, and Task Switching's Switch and No-Switch conditions, whereas non-remitters only showed improvements in Stroop Congruent and Incongruent RTs. Baseline and final scores on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale were positively correlated with Switch and No-Switch RTs. This study demonstrates that eventual remitters to rTMS treatment for MDD perform better in cognitive tasks requiring shifting attention, and this difference is observable prior to the start of treatment. Remitters also show improvement in both their mood and cognitive performance.

    Abstract Dementia is broadly characterized by cognitive and psychological dysfunction that significantly impairs daily functioning. Dementia has many causes including Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Detection and differential diagnosis in the early stages of dementia remains challenging. Fueled by AD Neuroimaging Initiatives (ADNI) (Data used in preparation of this article were obtained from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. As such, the investigators within ADNI contributed to the design and implementation of ADNI and/or provided data but did not participate in analysis or writing of this report.), a number of neuroimaging biomarkers for AD have been proposed, yet it remains to be seen whether these markers are also sensitive to other types of dementia. We assessed AD-related metabolic patterns in 27 patients with diverse forms of dementia (five had probable/possible AD while others had atypical cases) and 20 non-demented individuals. All participants had positron emission tomography (PET) scans on file. We used a pre-trained machine learning-based AD designation (MAD) framework to investigate the AD-related metabolic pattern among the participants under study. The MAD algorithm showed a sensitivity of 0.67 and specificity of 0.90 for distinguishing dementia patients from non-dementia participants. A total of 18/27 dementia patients and 2/20 non-dementia patients were identified as having AD-like patterns of metabolism. These results highlight that many underlying causes of dementia have similar hypometabolic pattern as AD and this similarity is an interesting avenue for future research.

    Abstract This study explores different episodic memory domains, namely object, temporal and spatial memory, affected in patients with a clinical diagnosis of single domain amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). 15 aMCI patients and 25 healthy controls were recruited and tested. Object, spatial, and temporal memory were tested using computerized tasks and again in interactive, real-world tasks. Controls outperformed patients on the object computerized task and showed a trend toward significance for the computerized spatial and temporal tasks, but there was no difference in spatial and temporal memory when using the interactive tasks, indicating the employment of compensatory mechanisms in patients to overcome some of the memory impairments associated with aMCI. These findings highlight that aMCI patients might delay seeking help due to compensatory mechanisms which mask their deficits in real-world situations.

    Abstract Purpose: There is no clinical consensus on the optimal protocol for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Accelerated protocols using more than a single session of treatment per day have been suggested as a means to reduce the overall length of time required for rTMS therapy. The objective of this study is to compare the treatment outcomes of patients with MDD who received two sessions of rTMS per day vs those who received one session per day, keeping the overall number of delivered pulses constant.
    Patients and methods: In a retrospective study, we compared treatment outcomes of 36 patients with MDD who received 30 sessions of high-frequency (10 Hz) rTMS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Patients received 3,000 pulses per session (5 s trains, 25 s intertrain interval) at 110% of resting motor threshold using a figure-eight coil. Patients received either two rTMS sessions per day (n=17) or one session per day (n=19). Depression symptoms were assessed by a psychiatrist using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression at baseline and after every 10 sessions of rTMS.
    Results: The majority of patients in both groups responded to treatment, and there was a trend toward greater response rate in the twice-daily (TD) group (82.4%) compared to the once-daily (OD) group (52.6%). TD stimulation was tolerable for patients and produced no adverse side effects. Patients in the TD group experienced an improvement in symptoms faster than the OD group due to the accelerated therapy period.
    Conclusion: Administration of two rTMS treatment sessions per day is tolerable for patients and does not seem to be inferior in efficacy to a OD protocol. TD administration has the benefit of producing symptom improvement over a shorter time span and requires fewer visits to the clinic.
