Jujutsu Kaisen Chat With Ray Chase, Voice of Sukuna – The Mary Sue

As decreed by the anime council of power, today (and every Friday for the foreseeable future) is Jujutsu Kaisen Friday. To celebrate the continuation of the first season, all the nominations in the Anime Awards, and the fact that the series kicks all sorts of cursed ass, I had a chance to figuratively sit down and chat with some of the voice actors from the dub!

But sadly, this is the last cursed finger thats left in our interview series. Lets rip our uniform tops off for dramatic effect.

Before we get to the final interview, be sure to check out the Kaiji Tang (Gojo), Adam McArthur (Yuji), and Anne Yatco (Nobara) interviews. Also, be sure to watch Jujutsu Kaisen over at Crunchyroll.

This week I took a deep breath and boldly approached Ray Chase, the voice of the King of Curses himself, Ryomen Sukuna.

I want to note that I did, in fact, live to tell the tale of having a conversation with someone who smiles while ripping out their own heart (or rather, the heart of the body hes inhabiting). Ray Chase has an impressive portfolio of roles that range from anime, to video games (such as Noctis from Final Fantasy XV), and Western animation (such as Etrigan from the Justice League Darkanimated movies).

TMS: You are certainly no stranger to voice acting. What inspired you to get into voice acting work?

When I was a little kid, our dad would tell us silly stories to go to sleep, and he always did tons of crazy voices and bonkers characters. So from an early age, I was imitating him, and playing around with what my voice could do. When I got into acting around middle school, I always came up with interesting voices first! So when it came time to do a career voice acting was something I had been unintentionally practicing for most of my life!

TMS: Congratulations are in order because I see that Jujutsu Kaisen is up for a couple of awards at Crunchyrolls Anime Awards, including Sukuna being up for best antagonist! Its kinda intriguing to watch an antagonist from inside the protagonist, especially one who relishes in his evilness to the point of mistreating the person whose body hes inhabiting. How did you prepare to take on this kind of villain?

I love that the two characters share a body, and that our voice prints are so different. Sukuna has such a different view of pain, power, life, than Itadori, as he has existed for more than one thousand years. Its a kind of maturity that allows the villain to mistreat the hero in so many ways, but there seems to be at times not a real menace behind it. Toying with Itadori seems more interesting to Sukuna at times than actually getting things done. I prepared for the role by watching the series!

TMS: Come on, level with me, would a fully powered Sukuna beat Gojo? Thats up for best fight at Crunchyrolls Anime Awards, too, and Sukuna didnt do so hot. Would he actually beat Gojo at his max level?

I think because this is not Gojos story, it would be best for Sukuna to beat Gojo, and then that gives Itadori the power to defeat Sukuna, maybe within his own mind palace!

TMS: If you werent acting, what would you be doing career-wise right now?

Honestly, I have no idea! I guess I do a lot of producing on the side, so maybe something like that? Maybe Id just run a dog adoption clinic.

TMS:Why out of all things guess we have to do this now:

via GIPHY

TMS:SUKUNA WOULD AND YOU KNOW IT!

via GIPHY

TMS: Its your day off and youve got nothing but time, what are you doing with your day?

Easy getting caught up on my video game backlog. Im currently working through Hades, trying to get to 20 heat on every weapon. Thats a time commitment!

TMS: I do a weekly series called Weekly Anime Round-up for The Mary Sue where I talk about all the series Im watching. Whats on your watchlist right now? Any series youre looking forward to this year?

Right now Im actually working my way through One Piece. Sungwon Cho recommended it to me a while back and I finally got into it last year. I dont know if Ill ever catch up to where it is now but it is a really rewarding show! I also hope that this year we get a confirmation that theyre working on the next JoJo part its been too long a wait!

TMS: Anything you wanna let the Jujutsu Kaisen fans (or fans of you in general) know?

Dont eat any fingers you find or you might find yourself starring in an anime one day!

Thank you for following along with ourJujutsu Kaiseninterview series! We definitely hope to do more anime interviews in the future!

Small Fleets Drive EKA Cloud-Based TMS Growth – Heavy Duty Trucking

EKA Solutions said it's seeing strong growth in its small-fleet target market.

Photo: Jim Park

As the supply chain increasingly moves toward greater interconnectedness and visibility between carriers, brokers, and shippers, EKA Solutions said 2021 has already started out strong with adoption of its cloud-based integrated freight management ecosystem.

EKA Omni-TMS for carriers is a transportation management system designed to give small and medium-size carriers the ability to compete with large fleets.

"In just three months, a rapidly increasing number of small carriers have adopted the EKA Omni-TMS, empowering these companies to tech up for the future, said J.J. Singh, founder and CEO, in a news release.

He told HDT that at least 33% new customer growth expected in the first quarter of this year compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.

EKAs goal was to target a diverse group of small-fleet customers for its TMS, typically those operating 30 trucks or less. Rapid acceptance confirms our market assumptions were correct, which is very gratifying, Singh told HDT.

These customers cover a diverse range of businesses, he said, including long haul, medium and short haul freight, using all classes of trucks, and with equipment including dry van, temperature-controlled, flatbed, bulk and livestock.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected its business in the first half of 2020, Singh said things turned positive in the second half of the year as the economy and freight business environment improved.

This year, EKA is targeting an exponential growth in revenue, Singh said. All of its TMS and visibility products are being continually enhanced, he said, and EKA will introduce Shipper TMS for small- and medium-size shippers in 2021.

Also, in 2021, EKA will integrate its supply chain TMS with third-party services to deliver key services at affordable prices to small and medium size carrier, broker and shipper customers.

EKA TMS is helping small carriers transport all types of commodities, enabling them to handle different customer pricing methods, fluidly pay drivers and settle with owner-operators, and provide complete freight movement visibility to their customers and trusted partners at affordable technology stack and operating costs, said EKA President Mark Walker in the news release.

Denton County cancels Thursdays vaccination clinic at Texas Motor Speedway due to weather – The Dallas Morning News

Thursday afternoons vaccine mega hub at Texas Motor Speedway has been canceled due to the likelihood of inclement weather, Texas Motor Speedway officials said Tuesday.

Denton County and TMS have been in contact with the National Weather Service since Monday. With a forecast predicting freezing temperatures and a chance of freezing rain and sleet in the early-morning hours, organizers made the decision to postpone.

We do not want to bring our residents out on icy roads or have our crews and volunteers working in below-freezing weather, Denton County Judge Andy Eads said in a news release.

Those who would have had appointments Thursday will be scheduled for Friday afternoon. Denton County Public Health plans to administer approximately 3,000 second doses of the Moderna vaccine, as well as 4,500 first doses of the Pfizer vaccine.

The appointment-only clinics hours will be noon to 4:30 p.m. Friday; originally, the clinic was set for all day.

Appointment times will be sent by Wednesday evening via email and text message to individuals awaiting their second dose, as well as those next on the Vaccine Interest Portal waitlist for first-dose scheduling.

We are hopeful the weather will be more cooperative Friday for a safe, efficient and effective vaccine clinic, Matt Richardson, director of the county health department, said in the release.

Additional appointments will be scheduled for next week at the TMS vaccination hub, which Denton County plans to operate weekly, a spokeswoman said Monday.

Therapy for OCD: Treatment, Medication, Cost – Healthline

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a condition in which people experience unwelcome and distressing thoughts (obsessions) over and over again.

To reduce the anxiety that these thoughts cause, people with OCD often feel they have to perform particular actions (compulsions). Some people with OCD also have motor or vocal tics, like throat-clearing and eye blinking.

Data from a national study conducted by Harvard Medical School shows that OCD is not uncommon: Around 2.3 percent of the population experiences OCD at some point in their lifetime.

OCD is a long-term condition that can get in the way of important daily activities, like work or school, and may also affect relationships.

While there arent any cures yet, there are treatments that can help ease OCD symptoms. In this article, well look at what these treatment options entail.

Many people who experience OCD symptoms never seek treatment, perhaps because symptoms can come and go and they can vary in severity over a lifetime.

With OCD, getting treatment early on is usually the best course of action. Outcomes tend to be more successful with early intervention and appropriate care.

Outcomes are also better when treatment is provided by an interdisciplinary healthcare team. This can include doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, and pharmacologists who work together to create a treatment plan that meets your individual needs.

For many people, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective way to treat the symptoms of OCD, with or without medication.

CBT is a type of talk therapy that focuses on identifying and changing unhealthy and unrealistic thought patterns.

If you have OCD, youre probably familiar with this cycle: You have an intrusive thought which sparks anxiety. The more you try to control or suppress the thought, the worse the anxiety grows. You may resort to rituals or compulsive behaviors to try and neutralize the threat posed by the unwelcome thoughts.

With CBT, you and your therapist talk about the thoughts that trigger your anxiety. You may:

Newer types of CBT include acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps you view thoughts and feelings including anxiety as temporary experiences that dont need to be controlled.

Learning to separate yourself from your thoughts is a key part of this therapeutic approach, as is committing to a life based on your lasting values rather than fleeting thoughts and feelings.

Researchers are finding that online CBT programs can be as effective for some people as in-person therapy sessions.

Exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy addresses the underlying fears of both obsessions and compulsions. Early in your therapy sessions, your therapist will educate you about OCD and equip you with skills you can use to reduce anxiety.

Your therapist will also help you identify the situations and events that trigger obsessive thoughts and anxiety. Theyll help you figure out whether these events are related to people, things, places, feelings, or sensory stimuli, such as smells or sounds.

Your therapist will usually give you an opportunity to describe the actions you feel compelled to perform and how these compulsions are related to the fears you feel. Once youve identified your triggers, your therapist will help you rank them according to how upsetting they are.

Over time, you and your therapist will gradually confront each of your fears, starting with the least upsetting. This will allow you to practice calming yourself with the skills youve learned.

The goal is for you to be able to reduce your anxiety on your own which, in turn, may help lessen the need for rituals and compulsions to ease your fear.

Not everyone who starts a course of ERP sticks to it. But for those who do, research shows that ERP can be a very effective method of breaking the connection between obsessive thoughts and compulsions.

If youre diagnosed with OCD, your doctor or healthcare provider may prescribe medication to help you manage your symptoms.

The most effective medications are a class of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Among the most commonly prescribed are:

It can take time for these medications to build up in your system to an effective level. Some research shows that you may get the best results if you take the medication consistently for a year or more.

The tricyclic antidepressant clomipramine has also been well studied and has shown to be effective at reducing OCD symptoms. Although its effective, the side effects are more extensive for some people.

If youre taking medication to treat OCD symptoms, its important that you talk to your healthcare provider before you stop or reduce the amount you take. Stopping or reducing your dose too quickly can have harmful effects.

With brain stimulation therapy, doctors use either magnetic or electrical pulses to change activity in areas of the brain known to affect OCD symptoms.

The scientific evidence on the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation is mixed. Because of the invasive nature of this therapy, most doctors agree that it should only be considered if psychotherapy or medication cant help reduce OCD symptoms.

With deep brain stimulation, a doctor places a very thin electrode into an area of your brain known to be involved with OCD.

Once the electrode is in place, small electrical pulses can be used to stimulate the brain. If stimulation doesnt relieve symptoms, the electrode can be removed or re-implanted in another area in the brain.

Brain stimulation therapies have been used to treat OCD since the mid-1980s. Ongoing research is enabling doctors to more precisely target areas of the brain that are related to particular symptoms.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique thats shown some promise for treating OCD.

With TMS therapy, a physician sends a current of energy through a magnetic coil thats placed on your head, usually near your forehead. The magnetic pulse thats delivered is thought to stimulate nerve cells in your brain that are associated with OCD symptoms.

At present, TMS is considered an adjunct therapy. This means that its used along with medications to reduce symptoms.

More research is needed to understand how this therapy works and which areas of the brain to target for best results.

OCD can cause a lot of stress. Whatever treatment approaches you and your healthcare team decide to take, it may be helpful to also learn more about how to lower your stress levels.

The following stress management techniques are all effective ways to help calm your mind and body:

When youre dealing with a challenging condition like OCD, taking care of your overall health is especially important. Some steps you may want to take to optimize your health include:

Self-care strategies like these may seem like a tall order when youre grappling with a mental health issue. If you feel overwhelmed by the self-care to-do list, its OK to just pick one healthy habit and practice it when you can.

You dont have to deal with OCD symptoms on your own. A good therapist can be a transformative and empowering ally.

Here are some things to keep in mind if you decide to look for a therapist:

Though many forms of therapy can be completed in 8 to 12 weeks, treating OCD takes time. And when it comes to healthcare, time often translates into cost.

Most private health insurance plans, including those you may access through your employer, do cover some kinds of mental healthcare. Some employers also provide employee assistance programs that feature counseling for mental health conditions.

Medicare Part A, most Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C) plans, and Medicaid all offer treatment for mental health conditions.

If you dont have access to healthcare coverage, you may want to look for a therapist whose rates are based on your income level or who offers a sliding scale for fee payments.

Good Therapy and the Open Path Psychotherapy Collective both offer search tools that can connect you to therapists who may offer reduced rates. Many community health centers also provide free or low-cost mental health services.

OCD is a mental health condition with symptoms that can disrupt your life. The good news is that there are treatments that can help ease anxiety, reduce intrusive thoughts, and help manage compulsive behaviors.

Behavioral therapies and antidepressant medications are the tried-and-true treatment methods for OCD. There are also other options that may improve your quality of life, although more research is needed to determine how effective they are.

As you explore treatment options, its also important to do what you can to help lower your stress levels and to take good care of your overall health.

‘Significant’ High Court backing for adjudication in construction – Law Society of Ireland Gazette

What is adjudication?

Adjudication is a 28-day dispute resolution process which can be used to resolve disputes relating to payment under construction contracts. The key steps involved are:

Adjudication is designed to be rapid. It is designed to promote cashflow in the construction industry by giving aggrieved parties a mechanism to get cash in the bank quickly without spending years (and lots of money) in arbitration or court.

This rapid mechanism works, however, only if the courts are willing to enforce decisions made by adjudicators; otherwise, unsuccessful parties would simply ignore decisions made against them.

The adjudicators decision at the centre of this case concerned a payment dispute between Gravity Construction Limited and Total Highway Maintenance Limited (TMS). In short, TMS lost and was ordered to pay Gravity 135,458.92.

TMS did not comply with the decision, and Gravity then issued court proceedings to enforce the decision in the High Court. Gravity relied upon section 6(11) of the 2013 act which states:

The decision of the adjudicator, if binding, shall be enforceable either by action or, by leave of the High Court, in the same manner as a judgement or order of that Court with the same effect and, where leave is given, judgement may be entered in the terms of the decision".

Just before the High Court hearing date, TMS indicated that it was prepared to comply with the adjudicators decision.

The High Court enforced the adjudicators decision by giving an unless order. Paragraph 37 of the judgement summarises it:

An order that the applicant has leave to enforce the adjudicators decision in the same manner as a judgement or order of the High Court, and that judgement is to be entered against the respondent in favour of the applicant in the sum claimed unless the said sum is paid to the solicitors acting on behalf of the applicant within seven days of todays date

In other words, the High Court ordered TMS to comply with the adjudicators decision.

This is the first reported case in which the High Court has put its shoulder behind adjudication by enforcing an adjudicators decision under section 6(11) of the 2013 act.

Without support from the High Court, adjudication awards would not be worth the paper they are written on. The decision is therefore very significant indeed.

That said, the whole point of adjudication is speed. Adjudication is about getting aggrieved parties paid quickly. In this regard, the timelines in Gravity give cause for concern.

The adjudicators decision at the heart of the proceedings was dated 28 April 2020. It took almost nine months to enforce. So, does this protracted timeframe defeat the purpose of adjudication entirely? Well yes, it probably does.

There were a number of reasons why it took so long to enforce the adjudicators decision in Gravity:

The points summarised above might sound familiar to adjudication practitioners who have experience in the UK, where there were similar teething problems.

Ultimately, these were resolved by reforms within the court system. In the UK, the courts now enforce adjudication decisions by way of summary judgment, with enforcement hearings taking place roughly 28 days after a procedural application.

If adjudication is going to become a mainstay in Irish construction, we will need reform within the court system to facilitate this. The courts need to rapidly enforce adjudication awards if the process is to have a long-term future in Ireland.

Another barrier to the uptake of adjudication in Ireland was also touched upon in Gravity. At paragraph 32 of the decision, the High Court briefly touched upon one of the legal arguments raised by TMS to resist enforcement.

In short, TMS put forward an argument that the enforcement proceedings should be stayed (put on hold) pending determination of arbitration proceedings.

In this regard the High Court noted that the propriety of this attempt was open for debate, given the wording of section 6(10) of the act, which says: The decision of the adjudicator shall be binding until the payment dispute is finally settled by the parties or a different decision is reached on the reference of the payment dispute to arbitration or in proceedings initiated in a court in relation to the adjudicators decision.

The UK regime has a similar provision, but, in that jurisdiction, there is no debate as to what it means. It means pay first, argue later. Do what the adjudicator says in the first instance, and if you are unhappy about it, start from afresh in arbitration or court.

For constitutional reasons however, the position might not be as clear-cut in Ireland, so that debate still needs to be had.

I have no doubt that we will see the debate above unfold in the Irish courts in the very near future.

Neuro Wellness TMS Centers of America In Coral Springs Offers Breakthrough Treatment Of Depression, Anxiety, and Other Disorders – TAPinto.net

CORAL SPRINGS, FL Theres a medical practice in Coral Springs offering a technological breakthrough in the treatment of major depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stressdisorder (PTSD), and other disorders.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy is offered at Neuro Wellness TMS Centers of America located at 9734 West Sample Road.

It is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment that has been recognized by the American Psychiatric Association in its Best Practices Guidelines as an effective treatment for depression.

Our newsletter delivers the local news that you can trust.

The safe and effective outpatient treatment is for individuals diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) or similar disorders who have not experienced satisfactory improvement from antidepressant medication.

TMS Therapy differs from traditional drug therapy because it employs MRI-strength magnetic pulses that are targeted only to specific regions of the brain involved in mood regulation areas known to be under-active in those diagnosed with MDD.

TMS Therapy activates and raises the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin and can be used in conjunction with medication or as a stand-alone treatment.

In FDA clinical trials, two out of every three patients reported remission or a reduction in depression symptoms after completion of TMS Therapy. Subsequent studies have consistently shown three out of every four patients positively responding to TMS Therapy.

What to expect during TMS Therapy?

Although treatment varies by individual, a typical treatment course consists of:

During treatment, patients relax in a treatment chair and remain awake and alert.

The TMS Therapy device will deliver magnetic pulses to specific areas of your brain known to regulate mood. These pulses will feel like tapping on the scalp. Adjustments can be made by your TMS technician if the tapping is uncomfortable.

Mild headache or scalp discomfort is sometimes experienced at the site of stimulation during or after treatment. An over-the-counter analgesic may be taken to alleviate discomfort. If discomfort persists, the strength of the magnetic field pulses can be reduced to make treatment more comfortable.

After a treatment session, patients can immediately return to their normal routine, including driving.

In clinical trials, most patients experienced a positive response to TMS Therapy by the fourth week of treatment. Some patients may experience results in less time, while others may take longer. It is important to continually discuss any depression symptoms with your TMS technician.

Shelly Lahn is the CEO of Neuro Wellness TMS Centers of America.

The team at Neuro Wellness TMS Centers of America helps patients cultivate a more joyful and fulfilling life with complete psychiatric services offered in a comfortable environment.

Connected TMS Technology Is Reaching Mom-and-Pop Carriers – SupplyChainBrain

Many small- to mid-sized U.S. carriers struggle to source loads, streamline business processes and capitalize on new business opportunities despite an ever-growing demand for truckload capacity.

Without direct access to shippers, small carriers often rely on freight brokers or serve under larger carrier networks, resulting in a 15-25% loss of potential revenue.

Profitability has suffered other blows in recent years, including empty miles up to 20%, driver turnover exceeding 100% and increased market fragmentation where most dedicated shipper contracts go to 1% of carriers.

While tools like transportation management systems (TMS), load boards and back-office systems are not new to the trucking industry, they pose a new frontier to small carriers who are more familiar with spreadsheets and whiteboards than advanced technologies and artificial intelligence.

Today, we see a democratization of trucking technology, where A.I. is making trucking more efficient, businesses healthier and drivers happier. We now have the unprecedented ability to gather operational information of hundreds of thousands of drivers and fleets to customize a solution for a carriers specific needs. By addressing the entire business process in one place instead of multiple applications for individual functions, todays connected TMS environment supports even the smallest carriers strategic planning, freight sourcing, procurement, performance management and freight payment and auditing.

The Power of Data

The more data thats collected from connected TMS users, the greater the opportunity for optimization, savings, profitability and growth. Data can tell carriers which loads match best within their driver network, which roads are most congested and which locations create excessive delays. This intel extends beyond simple data points within the shipper-carrier ecosystem, and incorporates insights like:

Data alone is not actionable. For the connected TMS to be truly valuable, it must digest the data points and return concrete recommendations that draw a straight line to operational efficiency and profitability. This is where TMS solutions of the past evolve into those optimized for the future and the technology is no longer reserved for the largest carriers.

Industry Disruption

With 99% of truckload carriers being small- to mid-sized businesses, true industry disruption will be reached when even the smallest carriers can:

Outlook

Expect to see small carriers embrace the TMS solutions formerly reserved for mega-carriers: Gartner projects that $1.94 billion will be spent on TMS technology by 2022, and software as a service (SaaS) will account for 65% of the TMS market.

Ryan Camacho is director of business development at Axele.

Across Systems’ Gerd Janiszewski on Selling the TMS Provider to Volaris Group – Slator

Translation management system provider, Across Systems, a household name for anyone involved in localizing technical documentation, has been acquired by Volaris Group, as the company reported in a January 14, 2021 press release. Focused on acquiring and developing vertical market software companies, Volaris Group is part of Toronto-listed Constellation Software. The financial terms of the transaction were undisclosed.

Volaris took the first step, said Gerd Janiszewski, Managing Director at Across, when asked about the genesis of the deal. Janiszewski told Slator that he was totally fascinated with Volaris fairly unique structure from the very beginning. For one thing, Volaris never sells the companies they acquire, he said.

Moreover, rather than integrating the companies they acquire, Volaris retains each organizations independence, according to the company website. This means the deal will likely change little for Across clients and partners in the short term except that, now, Across has a powerful backer to support the business.

As Janiszewski explained, the acquired business will typically operate independently inside Volaris and continue with their own brand and management team. He added, Volaris is focused on providing resources, best practices, and support to Across Systems.

Data and Research, Slator reports

40 pages on translation, localization industry M&A, venture funding. Valuations, PE funds, deal rationale, geo, investment theses.

Market opportunities for DACH-based Across (and translation tech providers, in general) are present worldwide throughout the supply chain, according to Janiszewski; from industries and enterprises to language service providers and freelancers.

As a pure-play technology provider, Across strengths square with those markets that demand full control over processes and data streams in a secure system, he said, adding that this is especially true of corporate clients within DACH, although they see great opportunities across the globe as well.

Were actively looking to broaden our offering through acquisitions with well-established, mature technologies, as well as new technologies

Asked for his views on the recent TMS funding and M&A wave (e.g., Memsource, Smartcat, Lokalise, Phrase), Janiszewski pointed out, Its obvious that we have two megatrends at the same time: concentration and the rise of new ideas, projects, technologies, which can add great value for users. And yes, we work on both. Were actively looking to broaden our offering through acquisitions with well-established, mature technologies, as well as new technologies, which we do not have in our existing offering.

According to the Across Managing Director, LSPs especially the Super Agencies are trying to strengthen their client relationships by using proprietary technologies that make it very hard (expensive) for clients to shift to another translation vendor. And, after a while, total costs for translation services for those clients are rising.

Data and Research, Slator reports

44-pages on how LSPs enter and scale in AI Data-as-a-service. Market overview, AI use cases, platforms, case studies, sales insights.

Meanwhile, Janiszewski noted, Other vendors are trying to gain access to client data in order to collect it and trying to generate and invoice additional services, which are purely based on the data of the clients. And the usage of this data certainly is not limited to the clients who own and paid for that data. This trend also tries to (as a by-product) eliminate traditional LSPs from the market.

As for Across, it will remain a pure tech company, Janiszewski said, providing clients valuable independence and full control over their data throughout the whole supply chain and at any time.

On the timing of the acquisition, he said Across was keen to join Volaris simply because they wanted to be part of a larger organization where they could make things happen and learn from a community of peers, which would not have been possible otherwise. The rationale behind the transaction was not purely financial, Janiszewski told Slator.

Market Intelligence

Access all of Slator's subscription services (SlatorSweep, SlatorPro & Research) with a company-wide license and save money.

Asked if an exit by Volaris was, at all, a possibility, Janiszewski reiterated, Volaris Group buys and holds companies. They never sell the companies they acquire.

No M&A advisers were involved in the deal. Osborn Maledon of Phoenix, Arizona and CMS Hasche Sigle of Frankfurt, Germany provided legal advice for Across.

Pandemic spurs scientists to look closer at an experimental treatment for severe depression – CTV News

TORONTO -- COVID-19 hasnt just worsened mental health across the country its also cut access to specific medical treatments for those who struggle from severe depression, such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

But the pressure of a pandemic has also spurred scientists to focus on some new therapies in order to keep helping patients, turning necessity into opportunity.

One patient who underwent an experimental therapy during the pandemic believes it could change lives, and even replace ECT altogether.

Kileen Sprock was in need of urgent help a month ago when she turned to a new treatment.

The human resources specialist had struggled with depression on and off for the past five years, undergoing various treatment.

But during COVID-19, she worsened.

I have been off work, and that has had a huge impact on my life, as you can imagine, Sprock told CTV News. Essentially, I am at home. If you've ever experienced depression, you know that there's pervasive sadness, there's a lack of confidence, a lack of self worth, fatigue, [you get] tired easily, and it was just a really difficult, difficult experience.

One of the medical therapies she had tried in the past was ECT, which is seen as a last resort for those suffering from depression so severe it will not respond to any other treatment.

But during the pandemic, ECT became more dangerous to administer.

Dr. Daniel Blumberger, director and chair of the Temerity Centre for Therapeutic Brain Intervention with CAMH, explained to CTV News that they had no choice but to cut down on patients due to the threat of COVID-19.

We were struck with a crisis, because when you do electroconvulsive therapy, there's a potential to generate aerosols when you have to give oxygen to patients, he said.

The treatment is performed under anesthesia, and involves small electric currents being passed through the brain. Patients are given oxygen through a mask while they are under, and they are asleep for around five to 10 minutes.

A psychiatrist, an anesthetist and other assistants have to be there for the process, all decked out in full PPE, all afraid of contracting the virus in the process.

But after doctors reduced the number of patients receiving ECT during the pandemic in order to cut down on virus risks for everyone involved, those patients were still in need of care.

We had to have another solution for these very sick and severely ill patients, Blumberger said.

When Sprocks mental health was worsening as a result of the pandemic, it was hard to find anywhere that would treat her due to hospitals cutting down on patients.

The hospitals were not really accepting new patients for different treatments, unless it was very very serious, Sprock said.

Thats when she heard of an emerging treatment.

I had tried so many different treatments, I had done ECT, dozens of antidepressants, Sprock said. "So this treatment was really, like, why not. Let's try it, I have nothing to lose.

A month ago at CAMH in Toronto, she was treated with an accelerated version of transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive procedure where an electromagnetic coil delivers magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, is already approved for treating depression. In fact, Sprock had tried it before.

But usually the treatment is delivered once a day for six weeks or longer.

In recent years, scientists have been looking at delivering these magnetic pulses at higher volumes and on faster timelines to improve the treatment, such as intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS), a more efficient version of rTMS that shortens sessions without sacrificing effectiveness. But iTBS still requires daily sessions over six weeks.

With COVID-19 creating pressure on all aspects of medical care, the question of speeding up these treatments was more pressing than ever.

Scientists and doctors decided to intensify and accelerate the treatment, delivering eight doses in a single day over one week, or in Sprocks case, two weeks.

And she noticed changes quickly.

I started to feel really, really good, she said. Probably about the fourth day of this treatment. It's hard to articulate, but I showed up for treatment that day, and I just felt brighter. And that had not happened with other treatments that I had been through.

Although accelerating the treatment is experimental still, preliminary studies suggest it works.

We think that the number of treatments per day has an effect that we're able to push the brain past what a once a day treatment would do, Blumberger said.

In the U.S. where the accelerated TMS was first tested researchers report up to 90 per cent remission for patients.

Study results from a randomized controlled trial are pending publication in the spring, according to the lead scientist, Nolan Williams, an assistant professor of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences at the Stanford University Medical Center.

We're looking at a therapy that works, Williams told CTV News.

Researchers speculate that the treatment is hitting the regions of the brain that are causing the depressive systems more accurately than before.

We use a special type of brain MRI to localize the exact position, Williams said. So we have kind of a personalized algorithm for finding the best spot, based off of the brain anatomy. That's probably a key difference.

Doctors in Vancouver have been trying accelerated TMS as well.

It's worked really, really, really well, Dr. Fidel Vila-Rodriguez, an assistant professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of British Columbia, told CTV News. That handful of patients that we've treated, they've all gotten better.

Being able to deliver treatment faster and over a shorter period has allowed more patients to get care even during the pandemic, Blumberger said.

Its been a big help, because they would have had to potentially wait for ECT or may not have been able to access it.

The logistics of ECT are also more complex than TMS, Vila-Rodriguez added, making it harder during COVID-19 due to the requirement of extra specialized staff and things such as anesthesia. Only one technician is required to physically deliver treatment with TMS.

You can treat a lot more people than you could treat with with ECT, Vila-Rodriguez said.

Williams pointed out that getting access to ECT can be very difficult in a non-pandemic year as well.

In the United States, only about 1.5 per cent of people that meet criteria for getting ECT actually get it, he said. So, 98.5 per cent people don't get it. One of the biggest reasons is [many] hospitals don't have ECT.

If accelerated TMS can help as much as ECT, it could be hugely important because its more accessible, and doesnt require as many people.

Some patients also may be wary to try ECT for a variety of reasons.

Mayo Clinic explains on its website that the treatment has a stigma due to how it was sometimes administered in the past, including high doses of electricity without anesthesia, leading to injury and serious memory loss.

In modern times, ECT is only administered with the patients informed consent, and 60 - 80 per cent of patients with depression achieve remission after treatment, according to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), making it one of the most effective treatments for those with treatment-resistant mental illnesses.

But although it is safe, there are still some side-effects.

We need an alternative to ECT because even though electroconvulsive therapy is the most effective treatment for severe depression, unfortunately it's also associated with significant side-effects, and one of those side-effects, which is quite troublesome, is impact on memory, Vila-Rodriguez said.

Sprock said that one of the things she found remarkable about receiving accelerated TMS was how much less invasive it was compared to ECT, adding that her only side-effect so far has been headaches the day she received treatment.

ECT had some impact when she received it in the past, she said, but it did come at a cost.

I had memory loss that was quite severe for about a year, she said. Slowly, my memory did come back as time went on. I still have a little bit of memory issues, but I can't say that is too too bad. But with [accelerated TMS] theres been no impact to memory. Wonderful.

Sprock believes the therapy is so revolutionary that it could completely replace ECT, adding that if accelerated TMS had been around five years ago, she would have chosen it over trying ECT.

When shed been treated with the original TMS before, she had experienced slight improvements, which didnt last long. But this was night and day.

Sprock almost felt the way she used to before depression, she said.

I'm happy I'm chatty, she said. I'm back to being bubbly. So it really has changed my life. At this point, I do have six more months of follow up. They do assessments every week where they'll test to see how I'm doing, and based on where I am, I might go in for booster treatments. But otherwise, if all goes well in six months, I hope to be back to working.

Scientists are now planning a formal study to measure this accelerated treatment's effects to see if it truly is an alternative to ECT for some patients.

For now, it remains a last resort to help those in crisis during the pandemic.

Resources are available in communities across Canadafor anyone struggling with anxiety, depression or other mental health concerns.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation – Mayo Clinic

Overview

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. TMS is typically used when other depression treatments haven't been effective.

This treatment for depression involves delivering repetitive magnetic pulses, so it's called repetitive TMS or rTMS.

Close

In transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), an electromagnetic coil placed against the scalp creates a magnetic field that stimulates certain areas of the brain.

During an rTMS session, an electromagnetic coil is placed against your scalp near your forehead. The electromagnet painlessly delivers a magnetic pulse that stimulates nerve cells in the region of your brain involved in mood control and depression. It's thought to activate regions of the brain that have decreased activity in depression.

Though the biology of why rTMS works isn't completely understood, the stimulation appears to impact how the brain is working, which in turn seems to ease depression symptoms and improve mood.

There are different ways to perform the procedure, and techniques may change as experts learn more about the most effective ways to perform treatments.

Depression is a treatable condition, but for some people, standard treatments aren't effective. Repetitive TMS is typically used when standard treatments such as medications and talk therapy (psychotherapy) don't work.

Repetitive TMS is a noninvasive form of brain stimulation used for depression. Unlike vagus nerve stimulation or deep brain stimulation, rTMS does not require surgery or implantation of electrodes. And, unlike electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), rTMS doesn't cause seizures or require sedation with anesthesia.

Generally, rTMS is considered safe and well-tolerated. However, it can cause some side effects.

Side effects are generally mild to moderate and improve shortly after an individual session and decrease over time with additional sessions. They may include:

Your doctor can adjust the level of stimulation to reduce symptoms or may recommend that you take an over-the-counter pain medication before the procedure.

Serious side effects are rare. They may include:

More study is needed to determine whether rTMS may have any long-term side effects.

Before having rTMS, you may need a:

These evaluations help make sure that rTMS is safe and a good option for you.

Tell your doctor or mental health provider if:

Repetitive TMS isn't invasive, doesn't require anesthesia and can be performed on an outpatient basis. You don't need to arrange for someone to drive you home after treatment unless, for the first treatment, you prefer a driver until you get a sense of how you'll feel afterward.

Before considering treatment, check with your health insurance company to see whether rTMS is covered. Your policy may not cover it.

Repetitive TMS is usually done in a doctor's office or clinic. It requires a series of treatment sessions to be effective. Generally, sessions are carried out daily, five times a week for four to six weeks.

Before treatment begins, your doctor will need to identify the best place to put the magnets on your head and the best dose of magnetic energy for you. Your first appointment typically lasts about 60 minutes.

Most likely, during your first appointment:

Once the coil placement and dose are identified, you're ready to begin. Here's what to expect during each treatment:

You can return to your normal daily activities after your treatment. Typically, between treatments, you can expect to work and drive.

If rTMS works for you, your depression symptoms may improve or go away completely. Symptom relief may take a few weeks of treatment.

The effectiveness of rTMS may improve as researchers learn more about techniques, the number of stimulations required and the best sites on the brain to stimulate.

After completion of an rTMS treatment series, standard care for depression such as medication and psychotherapy may be recommended as ongoing treatment.

It's not yet known if maintenance rTMS sessions will benefit your depression. This involves continuing treatment when you are symptom-free with the hope that it will prevent the return of symptoms.

However, if your depression improves with rTMS, and then later you have another episode of symptoms, your rTMS treatment can be repeated. This is called re-induction. Some insurance companies will cover re-induction.

If your symptoms improve with rTMS, discuss ongoing or maintenance treatment options for your depression with your doctor.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): Hope for stubborn …

Depression is the leading cause of disability in the United States among people ages 15 to 44. While there are many effective treatments for depression, first-line approaches such as antidepressants and psychotherapy do not work for everyone. In fact, approximately two-thirds of people with depression dont get adequate relief from the first antidepressant they try. After two months of treatment, at least some symptoms will remain for these individuals, and each subsequent medication tried is actually less likely to help than the one prior.

What can people with depression do when they do not respond to first-line treatments? For several decades, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT or shock therapy) was the gold standard for treatment-resistant depression. In fact, ECT is still considered to be the most potent and effective treatment for this condition, and it continues to be used regularly across the country. For many people with depression, however, ECT can be too difficult to tolerate due to side effects on memory and cognition. For those individuals and the many others who have had an inadequate response to medications and therapy alone, there is a newer treatment option called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, is a noninvasive form of brain stimulation. TMS devices operate completely outside of the body and affect central nervous system activity by applying powerful magnetic fields to specific areas of the brain that we know are involved in depression. TMS doesnt require anesthesia and it is generally exceptionally well tolerated as compared to the side effects often seen with medications and ECT. The most common side effect is headache during or after treatment. A rare but serious side effect is seizures, and TMS may not be appropriate for people at high risk such as those with epilepsy, a history of head injury, or other serious neurologic issues.

Approximately 50% to 60% of people with depression who have tried and failed to receive benefit from medications experience a clinically meaningful response with TMS. About one-third of these individuals experience a full remission, meaning that their symptoms go away completely. It is important to acknowledge that these results, while encouraging, are not permanent. Like most other treatments for mood disorders, there is a high recurrence rate. However, most TMS patients feel better for many months after treatment stops, with the average length of response being a little more than a year. Some will opt to come back for subsequent rounds of treatment. For individuals who do not respond to TMS, ECT may still be effective and is often worth considering.

TMS therapy is an intensive treatment option requiring sessions that occur five days a week for several weeks. Each session may last anywhere from 20 to 50 minutes, depending on the device and clinical protocol being used. When patients arrive, they may briefly check in with a technician or doctor and then begin the stimulation process. The technician will determine the ideal stimulation intensity and anatomical target by taking advantage of a landmark in the brain called the motor cortex. By first targeting this part of the brain, the team can determine where best to locate the stimulation coil as it relates to that individuals brain and how intensely it must fire in order to achieve adequate stimulation. Calculations are then applied to translate this data toward finding the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the brain target with the greatest evidence of clinical effectiveness and an area known to be involved in depression. Though one session may be enough to change the brains level of excitability, relief isnt usually noticeable until the third, fourth, fifth, or even sixth week of treatment.

TMS is being studied extensively across disorders and even disciplines with the hope that it will evolve into new treatments for neurological disorders, pain management, and physical rehabilitation in addition to psychiatry. There are currently large clinical trials looking at the effectiveness of TMS in conditions such as pediatric depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, smoking cessation, and post-traumatic stress disorder. While promising avenues for research, TMS for these conditions is not yet approved and would be considered off-label.
