65 yo man with history of CAD and prior MI, HLD, HTN, ventricular tachycardia, and syncope was admitted earlier today evaluation of syncope and ventricular arrhythmias. He was recently discharged after a negative work-up for syncope which included the implantation of a cardiac monitoring device. It was interrogated at the OSH and per report the monitor read from yesterday: 40 seconds of VT and then bradycardia with a rate of 39 shortly thereafter corresponding with his symptoms. Overnight, the patient went into monomorphic VT on telemetry. The patient was found to be unresponsive. CPR was initiated, unclear if the patient had a pulse. Within one minute the patient returned to sinus rhythm. The patient does not report any symptoms prior to this episode. Currently, the patient feels presyncope and nausea, but denies chest pain. Patient is to be transferred to the CCU for catheterization and EPS.

eligible ages (years): 18.0-60.0, Nicotine Dependence (MAIN STUDY): All participants must Be between the ages of 18-60. Justification: Many neural processes change with age, and these changes could introduce unwanted variability in both behavioral and MRI signals. In addition, the risk of difficult-to-detect medical abnormalities such as silent cerebral infarcts increase with age. Assessment tools: History. Government- issued forms of identification (e.g. driver s license, birth certificate) will be required when participant appears to be out of age range Be in good health. Justification: Many illnesses may alter fMRI signals as well as cognitive processes and neural functioning. Assessment tools: Medical Assessment, Medical History and Physical Examination. Medical assessments Vital Signs, EKG, oral HIV test, height/weight measurements, urinalysis and blood sample. Tests on the blood sample CBC, complete metabolic profile, TSH, ESR, STS and HIV (if needed to confirm a positive salivary test for HIV). The following individual laboratory results will independently disqualify individuals: Cholesterol greater than 250 mg/dl, Hemoglobin less than 10.5 g/dl, WBC less than 2400/ (Micro)l, LFTs less than 3 times upper normal, HCG positive, Casual serum glucose less than 200 mg/dl, Urine protein less than 1+. The MAI will retain discretion to at less extreme values, depending on the clinical presentation. (Serum glucose over 140 mg/dl will be followed up with a fasting serum glucose assessment. Those with fasting glucose below 100 mg/dl may be considered for the protocol. Others will be rejected and referred for work-up.) Liver function will be evaluated with aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT). A greater than 3 times upper normal limit for AST or ALT will disqualify individuals. MAI will make the final judgment on any questionable lab results Be right-handed. Justification: Using right-handed individuals will reduce variability in BOLD MRI data. Assessment tool: Edinburgh Handedness Inventory Be able to abstain from alcohol and other substances 24hrs and caffeine for 12 hours before each of the imaging sessions. Justification: Alcohol and caffeine (among other substances) modulate neural functioning in a way that would complicate data interpretation. Assessment tools: Self-report, urine drug screen and breathalyzer For smoker group, must have a urine cotinine level of greater than 4 as measured by a semi-quantitative in vitro diagnostic (e.g., NicAlert) and have been smoking a regular combustible tobacco product consistently for at least one year. Based on the correlation between self-reported cpd/FTND and urine cotinine levels, a single criterion will be easier to manage and provide adequate characterization of dependent smokers. Urine cotinine level provides a biomarker that does not rely on self-report/memory. Quit attempts will be assessed via clinical interview and judgment. Justification: The present protocol is interested in neurobiological mechanisms that underlie nicotine dependence-induced plasticity, and is thus contingent on the presence of nicotine dependence. Assessment tools: Self-report, NicAlert of 4 or higher (or other nicotine/cotinine lab test equivalent to 200ng/ml cotinine concentration) For the smoker group, must be willing to attempt an acute abstinence period lasting approximately 48 hours on 2 separate occasions. Justification: We aim to look at the response to stimulation in both drug sated and abstinent states in smokers. Assessment tool: Self-report For the non-smoking control group, less than 20 cigarettes lifetime, no cigarette or other nicotine product in past year and no history of daily use of any other nicotine products for > 2 weeks. Justification: Minimal cigarette exposure in the control group is required to assess differences between healthy control and the smoker groups. Assessment tools: Self-report, NicAlert of less than or equal 2, CO less than 6 or MAI discretion if there is a reasonable planation for high CO exposure (MAIN STUDY) Current or personal history of cerebrovascular or neurological illnesses including, but not limited to, seizure disorders, frequent migraines or on prophylaxis, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, history of significant head trauma, or CNS tumor. Current or personal history of any neurological disorders that would increase seizure risk from iTBS such as stroke, brain lesions, previous neurosurgery, any history of seizure or fainting episode of unknown cause, or head trauma resulting in loss of consciousness, lasting over 30 minutes or with sequela lasting longer than three months, regardless of loss of consciousness. Justification: Cerebrovascular and neurological conditions may alter blood flow, CNS function, the fMRI signal and other autonomic signals. Additionally, neurological disorders such as stroke, vascular lesions or head trauma can lower the seizure threshold and are therefore contra-indications for iTBS. Fainting episodes or syncope of unknown cause could indicate an undiagnosed condition associated with seizures. Assessment tools: TMS Safety Screen and Medical History and Physical Exam. The MAI who will also retain discretion to based on a history of neurological illness that may compromise data integrity First-degree family history of any neurological disorder with a potentially hereditary basis, including migraines, epilepsy, or multiple sclerosis. Justification: Neurological disorders can lower the seizure threshold and are therefore contra-indications for iTBS. First -degree family history of certain neurological disorder with a hereditary component increases the risk of the participant having an undiagnosed conditi n that is associated with lowered seizure threshold. Assessment tools: TMS Safety Screen and Medical History Implantable defibrillator, implanted medication pumps, cardiac pacemaker, neurostimulator, some artificial joints, metal pins, surgical clips, intracardiac lines, or acute unstable cardiac disease with intracranial implants (e.g. aneurysm clips, shunts, stimulators, cochlear implants or electrodes) or any other implant or metal object in the body that precludes MRI scanning or iTBS administrations. Justification: certain metal in the body is a contra-indication for MRI scanning and iTBS administration, which involves exposure to a relatively strong static magnetic field that can move magnetic material not securely bound and rapidly alternating magnetic fields that can generate heat and current in metal contained in the body. Assessment tools: TMS Safety Screen, MRI Safety Screen and Medical History Are not suitable to undergo an fMRI experiment due to body morphology or claustrophobia. Justification: MR scanning is one of the primary measurement tools used in the protocol. Assessment tools: MRI Safety Screen, Medical History. Prospective participants will be questioned about symptoms of claustrophobia and may be placed in the mock scanner during screening to assess for possible difficulty tolerating the confinement of the scanner and for ability to fit into the scanner. Noise-induced hearing loss or tinnitus. Justification: individuals with noise-induced hearing problems may be particularly vulnerable to the acoustic noise generated by iTBS equipment and MRI (even with the use of sound attenuation ear plugs). Assessment tools: TMS Safety Screen, MRI Safety Screen, Medical History Current use (any use in the past 4 weeks, daily use for more than a week within the past 6 months) of any substances (excluding alcohol, see 9), investigational drug or of any medications with psychotropic, anti or pro-convulsive action, or anti coagulants. This will be determined at the discretion of the MAI. Justification: the use of certain medications or drugs can lower seizure threshold during use or withdrawal and is therefore contra-indicated for iTBS. Assessment tools: Medical History, urine toxicology analysis for the presence of a broad range of prescription and non-prescription drugs. Lifetime history of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, mania, or hypomania. Justification: The population of interest here is a healthy population with no psychiatric disorders other than tobacco use disorders. In participants with bipolar disorder, mania or hypomania, there is a small chance that iTBS can trigger (hypo)manic symptoms. Assessment tools: M.I.N.I. Potential diagnoses will be further evaluated by a counselor Current major psychiatric disorders to but not limited to, mood, anxiety, psychotic disorders, or substance-induced psychiatric disorders, or any current suicidal ideations or currently under antidepressant or antipsychotic medication treatment. The MAI will reserve the right to on the basis of psychiatric history not explicitly described in this criterion. Justification: Psychiatric disorders involve the central neural system (CNS) and, therefore, can be expected to alter the fMRI measures being used in this study. Assessment tools: M.I.N.I., Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Adult ADHD Self-Report Scales and clinical terview confirmation by clinician Meet current DSM-5 for moderate to severe substance use disorder, for alcohol or any drug (except nicotine for the smoker group). Past substance use disorder (SUD) is acceptable based on MAI determination. Those with past SUD of substances other than alcohol or marijuana may not have any current use (past 6 months) of the substance on which they were dependent. Individuals with past SUD of either alcohol or marijuana who report current use of the previously dependent substance may be included provided they do not currently meet withdrawal criteria. Justification: SUD of other substances (drugs or alcohol) may result in unique CNS deficits that could confound results and introduce excessive variance. Assessment tools: The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I) and clinical SUD assessment, Drug Use Survey, Addiction Severity Index. A positive drug test for marijuana will not be exclusionary as long as participants, based on self report, have not used in the 24hrs preceding the imaging visits. In the event of a positive drug test for marijuana, self-reports of current marijuana use will be used to differentiate intermittent/infrequent from chronic/frequent users

65 yo man with history of CAD and prior MI, HLD, HTN, ventricular tachycardia, and syncope was admitted earlier today evaluation of syncope and ventricular arrhythmias. He was recently discharged after a negative work-up for syncope which included the implantation of a cardiac monitoring device. It was interrogated at the OSH and per report the monitor read from yesterday: 40 seconds of VT and then bradycardia with a rate of 39 shortly thereafter corresponding with his symptoms. Overnight, the patient went into monomorphic VT on telemetry. The patient was found to be unresponsive. CPR was initiated, unclear if the patient had a pulse. Within one minute the patient returned to sinus rhythm. The patient does not report any symptoms prior to this episode. Currently, the patient feels presyncope and nausea, but denies chest pain. Patient is to be transferred to the CCU for catheterization and EPS.
