| | Clinical depression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Clinical depression is a state of sadness or melancholia that has advanced to the point of being disruptive to an individual's social functioning and/or activities of daily living. | | | Although a mood characterized by sadness is often colloquially referred to as depression, clinical depression is something more than just a temporary state of sadness. | | | The VNS device is implanted in a patient's chest with wires that connect it to the vagus nerve, which it stimulates to reach a region of the brain associated with moods. |

| | In particular, clinical error associated with programming of PCA unit 150A would be reduced, thereby reducing the risks of respiratory depression associated with the administration of narcotic analgesics from use of PCA unit 150A. | | | Even if a patient were eligible for PCA treatment with prior art systems, these systems do not allow the patient to receive a more aggressive treatment because of the risk of inadvertent respiratory depression and thus the patient would not be able to obtain quicker and more effective pain relief from a more aggressive treatment. | | | Because of disadvantages associated with existing PCA systems, certain patients who might otherwise benefit from the PCA method of therapy may not be PCA candidates because of concerns about respiratory depression. |
