Appraisal theories state that an emotion results from an individual's evaluation of a stimulating event, which is based on a set of criteria. Each criterion triggers specific expressions that can be modulated by the outcome of other criteria. The authors analyzed the effects of the criteria of suddenness, unfamiliarity, and their combination on behavioral and cardiac responses in lambs (Ovis aries). Lambs were exposed to a visual stimulus that appeared either rapidly or slowly and was either unfamiliar or familiar. Suddenness induced a startle response and an increase in heart rate. Unfamiliarity induced an orientation response. The combination of suddenness and unfamiliarity enhanced both the heart rate increase and the behavioral orientation response. These results support the hypotheses of specificity and modulation of emotional expressions.

Eruptive pseudoangiomatosis (EP) is a rare cutaneous condition that usually resolves spontaneously within a few days and is more frequently seen in the pediatric age group. It is characterized by the sudden onset of asymptomatic small erythematous hemangioma-like papules encircled by a pale halo. The precise pathogenesis is unknown; however, multiple environmental triggers have been reported.

Susac's syndrome is a rare inflammatory microangiopathy characterized by the triad of retinopathy, encephalopathy, and hearing loss. The syndrome causes recurrent microinfarcts in these organs, which in turn manifests with repeated attacks of visual field loss, hearing loss and tinnitus, and various brain syndromes. These often lead to the significant accumulation of disability over time, particularly if there is a delay or failure in diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- Cervical arterial dissection (CeAD) is a serious condition that can lead to strokes in young adults, often misdiagnosed as regular neck pain or headaches, highlighting the need for better diagnostic tools.
- A study aimed to validate and refine a diagnostic support tool with four criteria for early recognition of CeAD in primary care settings, ultimately proposing effective cut-off points for clinical use.
- The refined tool exhibited high sensitivity and acceptable specificity, making it an effective predictor for CeAD and indicating a need for further validation in emergency and primary care environments.

Article Synopsis
- * A case is presented where a 35-year-old man with metabolic acidosis and mild carbon monoxide poisoning was suspected of having cyanide poisoning, prompting the administration of an antidote, which led to improvement.
- * The patient later experienced sudden airway obstruction requiring emergency intubation, with inhalation damage detected only in the lower airway, highlighting the importance for physicians to recognize both cyanide poisoning and inhalation burns for effective treatment.
Sympathetic Response of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder During Dental Treatment Performed in a Sensory-Adapted Dental Environment.

Occupational Therapy, Sri Ramaswamy Memorial Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, IND.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in social interaction, communication, and sensory processing. These challenges often make dental visits overwhelming and distressing for children with ASD. This study explores the use of electrodermal activity (EDA) to measure physiological stress responses and evaluates strategies to enhance cooperation during dental treatments in a sensory-adapted dental environment.
