Abstract:
The antidepressant effect of high-frequency left prefrontal (HLPF) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is well-documented, while scientific interest in the more patient-friendly alternative, low-frequency right prefrontal (LRPF), has been limited. This review finds the antidepressant efficacy of LRPF rTMS equivalent to that of HLPF rTMS. Considering the more advantageous side-effect profile, LRPF is found to have the potential to take a more prominent place in the treatment of depression. In consequence, there is a need to strengthen research on the issue.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
