Transient exposure to ketamine can trigger lasting changes in behavior and mood. We found that brief ketamine exposure causes long-term suppression of futility-induced passivity in larval zebrafish, reversing the "giving-up" response that normally occurs when swimming fails to cause forward movement. Whole-brain imaging revealed that ketamine hyperactivates the norepinephrine-astroglia circuit responsible for passivity.

Background: Overt immune activation by viral infections can lead to cytokine storm syndromes, such as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and macrophage activation syndrome (MAS).

Objective: We aim to compare the immune response to different viral pathogens to understand the connection between infections and cytokine storm syndromes.

Methods: We recruited children who presented to the emergency room with fever for ≥ 3 days.

Background: Structural remodeling has been associated with increased incidence of atrial fibrillation, but how fibrotic regions allow atrial fibrillation to be sustained remains unclear.

Objective: With a novel transgenic goat model, we evaluated structural and functional differences between structurally remodeled and healthy regions of the atria.

Methods: A novel transgenic goat model with cardiac-specific overexpression of transforming growth factor β1 was used.

Article Synopsis
  • A significant number of consumers (48%) use generative AI for health inquiries, yet there is limited research on the quality of AI chatbot responses concerning emergency care advice.
  • This study evaluated responses from four popular AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Google Bard, Bing AI, and Claude AI) using 10 emergency care questions, grading them across eight performance domains.
  • Results showed that chatbots excelled in clarity and understandability (85%), had moderate accuracy and completeness (50%), but struggled with source relevance and reliability (10%), and potentially presented dangerous information in 5% to 35% of their responses.
