Being part of a social structure offers chances for social learning vital for survival and reproduction. Nevertheless, studying the neural mechanisms of social learning under laboratory conditions remains challenging. To investigate the impact of socially transmitted information about rewards on individual behavior, we used Eco-HAB, an automated system monitoring the voluntary behavior of group-housed mice under seminaturalistic conditions.

Based on lessons learned during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, we introduce a framework for rapid diagnostic test development, evaluation, and validation during outbreaks of emerging infections. The framework is based on the feedback loop between test accuracy evaluation, modelling studies for public health decision-making, and impact of public health interventions.

- The study examines the impact of adding zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles to denture base resin on its surface hardness and flexural strength during chewing and occlusal loading.
- Five groups of acrylic resin samples were created, with one group being a control and the others containing different concentrations of nanoparticles, and their properties were tested using specific machinery.
- Results showed that the modified denture resins had significantly improved properties, with the highest surface hardness from 1% TiO and the best flexural strength from 1% ZnO, indicating better durability compared to conventional resins.
Rationale: Early mortality in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is due to hematoma volume (HV) expansion, and there are no effective treatments available other than reduction in blood pressure. Tranexamic acid (TXA) a hemostatic drug that is widely available and safe can be a cost-effective treatment for ICH, if proven efficacious.
Hypothesis: Administration of TXA in ICH patients when given within 4.
