The specialty of anaesthesia developed because of its fundamental contribution to health care, including the prevention of pain from surgery, respiratory, and critical care medicine, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and pain medicine. Through these contributions anaesthesia became an important component of the medical profession. To continue our position in medicine, our intellectual foundation must be maintained and augmented mainly via research. No matter what role they play, all members of an anaesthetic department must contribute to the past intellectual development of anaesthesia as a basis for outlining the future approaches in research, including basic science, applied, transitional, clinical, educational and economic research. The challenges to the anaesthetist-scientist include evaluation, funding, conflicts of interest, legal and fraud. The future of the anaesthetic profession is mainly with its intellectual resources, especially research as the basis of improved patient care, and to have a major impact on the future of medicine overall.

Anthropogenic disturbances degrade ecosystems, elevating the risk of emerging infectious diseases from wildlife. However, the key environmental factors for preventing tick-borne disease infection in relation to host species, landscape components, and climate conditions remain unknown. This study focuses on identifying crucial environmental factors contributing to the outbreak of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), a tick-borne disease, in Miyazaki Prefecture, southern Japan.

Background: Child Protection Legal Systems around the world work to toe the line between protecting children from possible harms and avoiding inflicting further harm by mistreating or misrecognizing the problems the children in question are facing. Despite growing efforts to enhance children's participation in child protection proceedings, there is still a lot of criticism from families and children directed at the state and the legal system.
Objective: This inquiry attempts to locate at least one of the reasons for such criticism - the feeling of being excluded from the decision-making process.

Many animal studies have explored decision-making under risk and punishment, particularly regarding potential rewards, but less focus has been placed on contexts involving net losses. Understanding decision-making under net loss conditions can shed light on the neural mechanisms involved. The basolateral amygdala to prelimbic cortex (BLA→PL) pathway is crucial for risky decision-making.

Despite extensive research on the impact of grandchild care on grandparents' well-being, no studies have examined the frequency of activities that grandparents engage in with their grandchildren or the reasons for care using nationally representative data. We address this gap using waves 8 (2016/2017) and 9 (2018/19) of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, a nationally representative study of English older adults. We employ hybrid regression models to distinguish between within- and between-individual effects on grandparents' subjective wellbeing, as captured by quality of life and depressive symptoms.
