Benseñor,Isabela M.; Janovsky,Carolina Castro Porto Silva; Goulart,Alessandra C.; Santos,Itamar de Souza; Diniz,Maria de Fátima Haueisen SanderABSTRACT Objective: Although some previous data have suggested a high iodine intake in Brazil, the prevalence of antithyroperoxidase antibodies (TPOAb) in the country is compatible with rates from countries with adequate iodine intake. This observation emphasizes the importance of knowing the incidence of TPOAb in Brazil. Materials and methods: This prospective analysis included euthyroid participants with nega...

Bertola,Laiss; Benseñor,Isabela M.; Gross,Alden L.; Caramelli,Paulo; Barreto,Sandhi Maria; Moreno,Arlinda B.; Griep,Rosane H.; Viana,Maria CarmenObjective: Longitudinal measurement invariance analyses are an important way to assess a test’s ability to estimate the underlying construct over time, ensuring that cognitive scores across visits represent a similar underlying construct, and that changes in test performance are attributable to individual change in cognitive abilities. We aimed to evaluate longitudinal measurement invariance in a large, social ...

Borrione,Lucas; Bellini,Helena; Razza,Lais Boralli; Avila,Ana G.; Baeken,Chris; Brem,Anna-Katharine; Busatto,Geraldo; Carvalho,Andre F.; Chekroud,AdamCurrent first-line treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD) include pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. However, one-third of depressed patients do not achieve remission after multiple medication trials, and psychotherapy can be costly and time-consuming. Although non-implantable neuromodulation (NIN) techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulati...
