1. Deconstructive reading of
“Usefulness of MRS”
(What is said and what is left unsaid)

3. Deconstruction
• "Deconstruction refers to all of the techniques
and strategies used by Derrida in order to
destabilise, crack open and displace texts that
are explicitly or invisibly idealistic" (Hottois,
1998).

21. Psychoactive Drugs Trials
(Bipolar Disorder (BPD))
• Bipolar disorder is among a class
of mood disorders that is marked
by dramatic changes in mood,
energy and behaviour.
• Characterised by episodes of
mania and depression
• Affecting 1-3 % of the world
population
• Key regions of the cortico-limbic
network and their major network
connections relevant to bipolar
disorder (Brooks III et al., Journal
of Psychiatric Research, 2014)
22. Ebselen
• Mood stabilizers
• classically -> Lithium
• Inositol-depletion hypothesis (Harwood,
Molecular Psychiatry, 2005)
• Inhibition of the enzyme inositol-1 (or 4)-
monophosphatase (IMPase)
• However, undesirable side effects
• reduced urinary concentrating ability,
• hypothyroidism, hyperparathyroidism
• Weight gain
• Novel -> ebselen
• Bioavailable antioxidant drug
• Clinical trials for cardiovascular diseases,
arthritis, stroke, atherosclerosis, and cancer
(Azad et al., Mol Biol Rep, 2014)
• Inhibition of IMPase (Singh et al., Nat. Commun,
2014)
23. To monitor if ebselen reduces brain neurochemicals as
compared to placebo control
Assess neurochemical profile of Frontal and Occipital
Cortices by short-echo 1H MRS at 3T
Assess extended neurochemical profile of Frontal
and Occipital Cortices by short-echo 1H MRS at 7T
26. Total Creatine Positively
Correlated with myo-Inositol
Creatine is not an adequate internal standard
where subjects have been medicated
with ebselen or lithium (O’Donnell et al., Brain
Research, 2000)

“Deconstruction doesn’t produce any sitcom.
If sitcom is this, and people who watch this
think deconstruction is this, the only advice I
have to give them is just stop watching
sitcom, do your homework, and read.”
