Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess how human subjects react to elevated pressures of helium and nitrogen, focusing on inflammatory and oxidative stress responses.
  • Both gases activated neutrophils and led to slight increases in inflammatory markers and urinary IL-6, alongside a decrease in plasma gelsolin, indicating an inflammatory response.
  • The results suggest that typical diving gas exposure can trigger inflammation, which might contribute to decompression sickness, while the mixed oxidative stress responses imply complex interactions within the body's systems.

Under the effect of global change, management of cyanobacterial proliferation becomes increasingly pressing. Given the importance of interactions within microbial communities in aquatic ecosystems, a handful of studies explored the potential relations between cyanobacteria and their associated bacterial community (i.e.

Social cognition involves a wide array of skills that are built largely through interactions with conspecifics and therefore depend upon early social experience. Motivation for social stimuli is a key feature of social behavior and an operant conditioning task showed that isolated wild-caught adult starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) are highly motivated to access pictures of other starlings. Here, we show that hand-raised adult starlings maintained in groups of peers throughout development but without any contact with adult models were not or only poorly motivated to access pictures of conspecifics.
