This study investigated how exposure to Caucasian and Chinese faces influences native Mandarin-Chinese speakers' learning of emotional meanings for English L2 words. Participants were presented with English pseudowords repeatedly paired with either Caucasian faces or Chinese faces showing emotions of disgust, sadness, or neutrality as a control baseline. Participants' learning was evaluated through both within-modality (i.

- - Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play a crucial role in innate immunity and have various functions, making them promising alternatives to traditional antibiotics, especially as antibiotic resistance rises.
- - The study discovered a new peptide, AXOTL-13, using transcriptome data, confirmed its antibacterial properties through PCR and synthesis, and found it effectively inhibits bacterial growth without harming red blood cells.
- - This research is groundbreaking in identifying and evaluating the antimicrobial activity of peptides, specifically AXOTL-13, and it lays the groundwork for future studies in the field.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in patients undergo-ing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) due to a combination of several factors: increased intra-abdominal pressure, heat stress and drug tox-icity. Patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit after CRS and HIPEC during 129 months. Data recorded were: demographic characteristics; severity of illness, haematology and basic chemistry panels (renal function and electrolytes), type of cancer and extension, HIPEC drug and temperature, fluid balance, ICU and hospital stay and mortality.

Materials And Methods: Patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) after CRS and HIPEC during 10 years.
Data Recorded Were: Demographic characteristics; severity of illness; complete blood sample; chest radiographs; type of cancer and extension; HIPEC drug and temperature; ICU and hospital stay; and mortality.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of pharmacist-integrated transitions of care (ToC) programs on reducing hospital readmissions beyond 30 days in a Medicare value-based population.* -
- Researchers conducted a chart review involving 1,065 hospital discharge encounters, comparing readmission rates among a control group and three intervention groups receiving different levels of pharmacist support.* -
- Results showed that while one intervention group saw no significant change, two others had substantially lower 90-day readmission rates, indicating the potential benefits of involving pharmacists in patient care post-discharge.*
