Article Synopsis
- - Aminophylline, a medication often used for severe asthma, can cause arrhythmias, but the exact reasons are not clear
- - In research, aminophylline significantly inhibited the inward rectifier potassium current in both healthy pig heart cells and failing human heart cells at different concentrations
- - The study found that aminophylline prolonged action potential duration in porcine heart cells, indicating its potential role in causing arrhythmias, suggesting further exploration of its effects on other ionic currents is necessary
The scientific literature indicates that chokeberry is widely used as a supplement to support the maintenance of the body's homeostasis by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. In recent years, positive effects of chokeberry on intestinal parameters have also been observed. Oxidative stress, inflammation and, according to recent reports, also the gut microbiome are closely related to the overall well-being and health of the population.

Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases was conducted until January 2024 using the "Population, Concept, Context" framework. The review identified and analyzed 28 studies published between 2005 and 2023 in North America and Europe.
Article Synopsis
- Scholars are concerned that deep partisan divides among the public pose a risk to American democracy.
- A large study with over 32,000 participants tested 25 different strategies aimed at decreasing partisan animosity and support for undemocratic practices.
- Results showed that highlighting relatable individuals with differing beliefs and emphasizing shared identities were effective at reducing animosity, while correcting misunderstandings about rival views helped lessen support for undemocratic actions.
Article Synopsis
- Young animals, especially songbirds, focus on learning motor skills, like singing, during their juvenile phase.
- Research shows a decrease in spike rate variability during song learning, indicating a shift from broad neural control to more precise motor coding typical of adult singers.
- Despite variations in overall spike rates, young songbirds exhibit precise timing in neural coding similar to adults, suggesting that early variability in performance is more about experimentation than lack of control.
