Positive affect amplifies integration within episodic memories in the laboratory and the real world.

Emotional events hold a privileged place in our memories, differing in accuracy and structure from memories for neutral experiences. Although much work has focused on the pronounced differences in memory for negative experiences, there is growing evidence that positive events may lead to more holistic, or integrated, memories. However, it is unclear whether these affect-driven changes in memory structure, which have been found in highly controlled laboratory environments, extend to real-world episodic memories.

Dynamic map illuminates Hippo-cMyc module crosstalk driving cardiomyocyte proliferation.

Numerous regulators of cardiomyocyte (CM) proliferation have been identified, yet how they coordinate during cardiac development or regeneration is poorly understood. Here, we developed a computational model of the CM proliferation regulatory network to obtain key regulators and systems-level understanding. The model defines five modules (DNA replication, mitosis, cytokinesis, growth factor, Hippo pathway) and integrates them into a network of 72 nodes and 88 reactions that correctly predicts 73 of 78 (93.

The Effect of Continuous Selection in KiwiCross Composite Breed on Breed Ancestry and Productivity Performance.

Composite crosses result from the mating of two or more distinct cattle breeds. Breeding performance may improve rapidly using a well-organized composite breeding system and a clear selection index. The KiwiCross is a popular composite cross in New Zealand, combining Holstein-Friesian (high milk production) and Jersey (high milk fat).

Retrospective evaluation of dexamethasone for treatment of suspected critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency in dogs with septic shock (2017-2022): 60 cases.

Objective: To retrospectively compare and report vasopressor duration and mortality of septic dogs with hypotension refractory to vasopressor administration (presumed critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency [CIRCI]) treated with or without dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DxSP).

Design: Retrospective study (2017-2022).

Setting: Tertiary referral and teaching hospitals.

The impact of shelter-in-place during the COVID-19 pandemic on social support for mental health recovery: A prescribing-oriented qualitative study of patient perspectives.

The COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented challenges for social connectivity and mental health, especially during mandated shelter-in-place periods. For patients engaged in mental health treatment, the social impact of their shelter-in-place experience remains an area of active investigation. This is particularly relevant in the context of social prescribing, a growing area of clinical intervention where healthcare providers actively refer patients to local social resources or activities to enhance mental health and wellbeing.
