THE SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF N-ACETYLCYSTEINE AS AN AUGMENTATION IN THE TREATMENT OF OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER IN ADULTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIALS

BackgroundObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) ranks as the fourth most prevalent psychiatric disorder, with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) as its mainstay pharmacological treatment.However, approximately 40 to 60% of patients do not adequately respond to initial treatment, highlighting the need for alternative options.N-acetylcyste

BackgroundHypertension (HTN) currently affects over 120 million Americans, in the United States (US).Thus, the implementation of evidence-based interventions (EBI) for blood pressure (BP) reduction is pivotal in minimizing this burden.We sought to evaluate evidence from published literature on the effectiveness of musical interventions for BP reduc

Abstract The numerical simulation and slope stability prediction are the focus of slope disaster research.Recently, machine learning models are commonly CLEANSER used in the slope stability prediction.However, these machine learning models have some problems, such as poor nonlinear performance, local optimum and incomplete factors feature extractio

The world wide web has furthered the emergence KITCHEN of a multitude of online expert communities.Continued progress on many of the remaining complex scientific questions requires a wide ranging expertise spectrum with access to a variety of distinct data types.Moving beyond peer-to-peer SPOON to community-to-community interaction is therefore one

Background: Pre-infarction unstable angina pectoris (UAP) can be considered ischemic preconditioning.The aim of this study was to compare short and long term outcomes in patients with or without pre-infarction UAP and ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods: 593 patients with
