Infant behavior is viewed in a social-communicative context centered on the phenomenon of spontaneous communication. Symbolic communication is learned and culturally structured, intentional, consists of symbols, and is propositional in content. In contrast, spontaneous communication is innate in both its sending (display) and receiving (preattunement) aspects, non-intentional, consists of signs, and is non-propositional or emotional in content. It underlies infant imitation, interactional synchrony, primary intersubjectivity, emotional empathy, and mirror neurons; and it is associated with oxytocin.

This study aimed to investigate the anti-fatigue efficacy and underlying mechanisms of Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua polysaccharide (PCP) in chronic sleep-deprived mice. Following three weeks of oral administration, PCP demonstrated significant efficacy in alleviating fatigue symptoms. This was evidenced by the prolonged swimming and rotarod time in the high-dose group of PCP, which increased by 73 % and 64 %, respectively.

The anomalous photovoltaic effect (APE) in polar crystals is a promising avenue for overcoming the energy conversion efficiency limits of conventional photoelectric devices utilizing p-n junction architectures. To facilitate effective photocarrier separation and enhance the APE, polar materials need to be thinned down to maximize the depolarization field. Here, we demonstrate Janus MoSSe monolayers (~0.

We present a case of a 73-year-old woman with a medical history significant for hyperlipidemia, on pravastatin, who developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following a diagnosis of osteoporosis. She presented to the Emergency Department with acute transient left arm pain that resolved spontaneously. Investigations revealed elevated troponin levels, non-specific electrocardiographic changes, no significant coronary artery disease on angiography, and left ventricular systolic dysfunction, findings consistent with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a devastating complication of epilepsy with possible sex-specific risk factors, although the exact relationship between sex and SUDEP remains unclear. To investigate this, we studied Kcna1 knockout (Kcna1) mice, which lack voltage-gated Kv1.1 channel subunits and are widely used as a SUDEP model that mirrors key features in humans.

Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) poses significant challenges, affecting neonatal health and neurodevelopmental outcomes worldwide. The specific effects of placental trophoblasts on the pathological development of sPTB subtypes-preterm premature rupture of fetal membranes (pPROM) and spontaneous preterm labor (sPTL)-are not fully understood, making it crucial to uncover these impacts for the development of effective therapeutic strategies. Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we investigated transcriptomic and cellular differences at the maternal-fetal interface in pPROM and sPTL placentas.
