Hyperbaric exposure induces lesions of the CNS in scuba divers. Repeated exposures to hyperbaric air at 0.5 MPa for 30 min with short intervals suppressed NGF-stimulated neurite outgrowth, concomitant with a decrease in the protein expression of ERK in PC12 cells. Hyperbaric exposure most likely causes direct lesions of neural cells.

Chronic social defeat stress (SDS) is a widely employed preclinical model of depression involving repeated exposure to physical defeats using a resident-intruder model in male mice. Exposure to SDS induces depressive-like phenotypes including anhedonia, social withdrawal, and increased drug and alcohol consumption. Previously, we found that expression of the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) is increased in the nucleus accumbens (NAC) of mice that are sensitive to this stressor and increase their alcohol intake.

Article Synopsis
- Peripuberty is a crucial time for brain development, and blocking CRFR1 receptors in young rats helps minimize negative effects of early-life stress on neural function and behavior.
- In an experiment, male rats showed immediate behavioral changes like reduced prepulse inhibition (PPI) after receiving a CRFR1 antagonist, while females only exhibited differences in behavior after becoming adults.
- Long-term gene expression changes in the amygdala indicate that the effects of CRFR1 blockage during peripuberty impact different neural pathways in males and females, emphasizing the importance of understanding these effects for adolescent mental health.

Objectives: Commercial fishing is one of the most dangerous industries in the United States, and although injuries have been a prominent focus for research, some health and safety risk factors such as sleep are understudied. In this paper, data from a multi-modal research study of sleep patterns, lifestyle factors, occupational exposures, medical histories, and health assessments in four U.S.

Plasma processes are critical for achieving precise device fabrication in semiconductor manufacturing. However, polymer accumulation during processes like plasma etching can cause chamber contamination, adversely affecting plasma characteristics and process stability. This study focused on developing a real-time sensor system for diagnosing chamber contamination by quantitatively monitoring polymer accumulation.

Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a type of drug-induced skin inflammation characterized by the recurrence of lesions in the same region following repeated exposure to the causative drug. FDE typically presents as localized spots or plaques without systemic symptoms; however, it can manifest in other forms, such as blisters and papules. In FDE, effector memory CD8-positive T cells that remain dormant in the basal layer after a previous inflammation are reactivated upon re-exposure to the causative drug, leading to the development of erythema at the same sites.
