DBs

DBS is an acronym that can refer to several topics depending on the context. This article summarizes three common uses in medicine, entertainment, and finance.

Deep Brain Stimulation

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure in which electrodes are implanted in targeted brain regions to deliver electrical impulses. It is used to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease and essential tremor and is explored for other conditions including dystonia and treatment-resistant depression. A DBS system comprises implanted leads, a generator under the skin, and connecting wires. Benefits can include symptom relief and improved function, while risks include infection, bleeding, device malfunction, and mood or cognitive effects. The approach is typically considered after medication and other therapies have failed and is adjustable and reversible.

It continues the Dragon Ball series as both a manga and an anime, with the anime premiering in 2015. The franchise follows Goku and his allies as they face new gods, universes, and tournaments, expanding the Dragon Ball universe with new antagonists, characters, and power dynamics. It has generated films, merchandise, and a broad global fan base.
