Background: Social determinants of health (SDoH) are responsible for 80-90% of modifiable contributors to health, yet this material may not be covered in preclinical medical school neuroscience courses.
Objective: To describe how topics related to SDoH and inclusion, diversity, equity, anti-racism, and social justice (IDEAS) were incorporated into a preclinical neuroscience course.
Methods: IDEAS concepts and guided discussions were added to our existing case-based curriculum, and guest speakers were invited to discuss how these concepts are relevant in the field of neurology.
Results: Most students felt that content and discussions were integrated thoughtfully. Students also found it helpful to learn and observe how faculty address these topics in real-world cases.
Conclusion: The additional content related to SDoH and IDEAS is feasible. Faculty with or without expertise in IDEAS concepts were able to utilize these cases and generate discussion without detracting from the neuroscience course material.

China Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Background: Asthma is currently one of the most common of respiratory diseases, severely affecting the lives of patients. With the in-depth study of the role of the nervous system and sex hormones on the development of asthma, it has been found that the nervous system and sex hormones are related to each other in the pathway of asthma.
Objective: To investigate the effects of sex hormones and the nervous system on the development of asthma.

So-called antimatter in the form of elementary particles such as positive electrons (antielectrons alias positrons) and negative protons (antiprotons) has for long been investigated by physicists. However, atoms or molecules of this exotic kind are conspicuously absent from nature. Since antimatter is believed to be symmetric with ordinary matter, the flagrant asymmetry constitutes a problem that still worries physicists and cosmologists.

Entropy and energy had not yet been introduced to physics by the time Carnot wrote his seminal Réflexions. Scholars continue to discuss what he really had in mind and what misconceptions he might have had. Actually, his work can be read as a correct introduction to the physics of heat engines when the term calorique is replaced by entropy and entropy is used as the other fundamental thermal quantity besides temperature.

Integr Psychol Behav Sci
January 2025
University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, United Kingdom.
This interview article explores how British anthropologist Tim Ingold's work can inspire innovation in mental health and the psy disciplines. Ingold critiques dominant biomedical and individualistic approaches, arguing for the importance of caring attentiveness and abolishing dichotomies like those between surface and depth, when engaging with people to understand and assist them. Instead, he suggests viewing human existence as correspondences with environmental, social, and relational others.
