Case report - Hyperthermia and nuclear hypersegmentation of blood cells.

This case report describes a patient with a medical history of schizophrenia, found in a coma with hyperthermia, likely due to classic heatstroke. The white blood cells observed on the blood smear showed cytological abnormalities characterized by multilobed nuclei, which could be early signs of cell death. The evolution into multiorgan failure led rapidly to death.

Increased CRF-R1 transmission in the nucleus accumbens shell facilitates maternal neglect in lactating rats and mediates anxiety-like behaviour in a sex-specific manner.

During the transition to motherhood, complex brain adaptations occur to ensure adequate maternal responses to offspring' needs accompanied by reduced anxiety. Among others, the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and oxytocin (OXT) systems have emerged as crucial regulators of these essential postpartum adaptations. Here, we investigated their roles within the nucleus accumbens shell (NAcSh), a central region of the reward and maternal circuits, in maternal neglect of lactating rats.

Exploring the Potential of Cold Sintering for Proton-Conducting Ceramics: A Review.

Proton-conducting ceramic materials have emerged as effective candidates for improving the performance of solid oxide cells (SOCs) and electrolyzers (SOEs) at intermediate temperatures. BaCeO and BaZrO perovskites doped with rare-earth elements such as YO (BCZY) are well known for their high proton conductivity, low operating temperature, and chemical stability, which lead to SOCs' improved performance. However, the high sintering temperature and extended processing time needed to obtain dense BCZY-type electrolytes (typically > 1350 °C) to be used as SOC electrolytes can cause severe barium evaporation, altering the stoichiometry of the system and consequently reducing the performance of the final device.

Critical Role of Nonrigid Unit and Spiral Acoustical Modes in Designing Colossal Negative Thermal Expansion.

Exploring the relationship between thermal expansion and structural complexity is a challenging topic in the study of modern materials where volume stability is required. This work reports a new family of negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials, AM(CN) with A = Li and Na and M = B, Al, Ga, and In. Here, the compounds of LiB(CN) and NaB(CN) were only synthesized; others were purely computationally studied.
