Article Synopsis
  • Telemedicine enables remote communication between healthcare providers and patients through video or phone calls, gaining popularity during the pandemic for its convenience.* -
  • It benefits pediatric patients by allowing family involvement during consultations and helps save time by eliminating travel and childcare needs.* -
  • The approach is particularly advantageous for cancer patients and immunocompromised individuals by reducing exposure risks, and although challenges remain, telemedicine is expected to become more accessible globally.*

Although the focus of research for decades, there is a surprising lack of consensus on what is (and what is not) self-control. We review some of the most prominent theoretical models of self-control, including those that highlight conflicts between smaller-sooner versus larger-later rewards, "hot" emotions versus "cool" cognitions, and efficient automatic versus resource-intensive controlled processes. After discussing some of their shortcomings, we propose an alternative approach based on tenets of construal level theory (Trope et al.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how lipid mediators, which play a role in inflammation, change in response to resistance exercise in recreational runners compared to less-active individuals.
  • It measures the expression of specific genes (PTGES2 and ALOX15) and various lipid mediators in blood after participants performed strength exercises at a set intensity.
  • Results show that recreational runners exhibited significant changes in both inflammatory response and resolution markers over time, while less-active controls did not display these changes, suggesting that regular moderate exercise may enhance the body's ability to manage inflammation.

An electrochemically homogeneous electrode-solution interface should be understood as spatially invariant in both terms of intrinsic reactivity for the electrode side and electrical resistance mainly for the solution side. The latter remains presumably assumed in almost all cases. However, by using optical microscopy to spatially resolve the classic redox electrochemistry occurring at the whole surface of a gold macroelectrode, we discover that the electron transfer occurs always significantly sooner (by milliseconds), rather than faster in essence, at the radial coordinates closer to the electrode periphery than the very center.

Background: Digoxin is a widely prescribed drug for congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic index and toxicity can develop quite easily. Digoxin immune fab (DIF) is an effective treatment for toxicity, however there are limited studies characterizing its impact on clinical outcomes in real-world clinical practice.
