Three pretest-posttest experiments were conducted to compare the effects of viewing versus interacting with either fantastical or real events on 4- and 6-year-old children's inhibitory control. Experiment 1 (N = 72) suggested that although viewing fantastical events had a negative effect on inhibitory control, interacting with them produced no such disruption. Experiment 2 (N = 17) also found that children's inhibitory control decreased after viewing fantastical events but not after interacting with them. In addition, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) data showed that viewing fantastical events resulted in greater activation in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Experiment 3 (N = 72) showed that children's inhibitory control increased after viewing and interacting with real events. The implications for studying the effects of mobile devices are discussed.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study featured a cancer survivor who experienced heart failure 20 years after treatment, and showed notable improvement when a combination of heart medications, including vericiguat, were introduced.
- * The results suggest that this multidrug approach, including the additions of vericiguat and ivabradine, could effectively manage worsening heart failure in young cancer survivors suffering from severe
Blood pressure control in diabetic kidney disease: a post-hoc analysis of the FANTASTIC trial.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the impact of strict blood pressure (BP) control on health outcomes in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD), focusing on whether targeting systolic BP (SBP) below 130 mmHg has benefits compared to below 140 mmHg.
- A total of 341 DKD patients were split into standard and strict BP control groups, with cardiovascular and renal events being monitored over a follow-up period of 2.8 years.
- Results showed that while strict BP control didn't significantly lower the risk of health events, maintaining achieved SBP levels between 130-139 mmHg was linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular and renal complications.
The Journey of Medicine - An Imperative Step in Fostering Gender Equality in Medicine.

While great advancements have been made towards gender equality in medicine, disparities between female and male physicians continue to persist. The Journey of Medicine was created as a day-long event of panelists, Q and As, hands on physical exam and suture technique, as well as short quizzes. The goal of the event was to provide education and create a strong network for young, high school women in South Dakota.

Department of Psychology, University of Waterloo.
Although stories for children often feature supernatural and fantastical events, children themselves often prefer realistic events when choosing what should happen in a story. In two experiments, we investigated whether 3- to 5-year-olds (total = 240 from diverse backgrounds) might be more likely to include fantastical events in stories about familiar fantasy characters. In Experiment 1, children saw stories about fantasy or real-world characters (e.

The last edition of the X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) meeting was held as an EMBO workshop in Berlin on 19-22 June 2023. The conference took place at the Harnack-haus in the Dahlem district, birthplace of the first modern research campus, where notable scientists such as Lise Meitner, Hans Krebs and, briefly, Albert Einstein conducted their research. This special edition, also accessible online, was organized by Rafael Galupa (Centre for Integrative Biology of Toulouse, France), Joost Gribnau (Erasmus MC Rotterdam, The Netherlands), Claire Rougeulle (Université Paris Cité/CNRS, Epigenetics and Cell Fate Center, Paris, France), Edda Schulz (Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, Berlin, Germany) and James Turner (The Francis Crick Institute, London, UK).
