In 1993, Boggs argued for a rethinking of the per se exclusion of hypnotically elicited testimony. This article analyzes the Minnesota v. Mack (1980) case that initiated this exclusion and the two Illinois cases Boggs cites in favor of her position. The scientific data on the effect of hypnosis on memory do not support Boggs's position. Rather than providing reasons for rethinking this per se position, these data suggest that it should be retained.

Dexmedetomidine therapy promotes cardiac dysfunction and increases mortality in sepsis: A translational study.
Int Immunopharmacol
January 2025
Department of Critical Care Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University, Guangzhou 510632, Guangdong, China. Electronic address:
Previous studies demonstrated that dexmedetomidine (Dex) posttreatment aggravated myocardial dysfunction and reduced survival in septic mice. Yet, whether Dex elicits similar effects in septic patients as defined by Sepsis-3 remains unknown. This study sought to assess the effects of Dex-based sedation on mortality and cardiac dysfunction in septic patients defined by Sepsis-3 and to further reveal the mechanisms in septic rats.

Co-use of xylazine with opioids is a major health threat in the United States. However, a critical knowledge gap exists in the understanding of xylazine-induced pharmacological and pathological impact. Xylazine is mostly known as an agonist of α2-adrenergic receptors (α2-ARs), but its deleterious effects on humans cannot be fully reversed by the α2-AR antagonists, suggesting the possibility that xylazine targets receptors other than α2-ARs.

Front Neural Circuits
November 2024
Department of Physiology, Kochi Medical School, Kochi University, Kochi, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The olfactory tubercle (OT) has distinct domains (anteromedial and lateral) that play different roles in learning from pleasant and unpleasant smells, but the specifics of how these areas adapt at the synaptic level aren't fully clear.
- In research using mouse OT slices, electrical stimulation combined with orexin treatment showed that the anteromedial domain (amOT) can undergo long-term changes in synaptic strength (LTP), while the lateral domain (lOT) does not exhibit the same response.
- The study found that orexin-A enhances these long-term changes in the amOT, suggesting it's important for learning from food odors, but this mechanism isn't present in the lOT.
Synergistic polytherapy for the broad-spectrum treatment of chemically-induced seizures in rats.

Chemically-induced seizures, as a result of exposure to a neurotoxic compound, present a serious health concern. Compounds can elicit seizure activity through disruption of neuronal signaling by neurotransmitters, either by mimicking, modulating or antagonizing their action at the receptor or interfering with their metabolism. Benzodiazepines, such as diazepam and midazolam, and barbiturates are the mainstay of treatment of seizures.

Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the effects of diphenhydramine (DPH), an antihistamine found in global water sources, on marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis) over a 96-hour exposure period, focusing on CYP metabolism and oxidative stress.* -
- The crayfish showed CYP activity through specific substrates, indicating functions similar to mammalian detoxification, but higher DPH concentrations led to a slight reduction in transformation activities.* -
- Antioxidant enzyme responses were significantly altered in the gills and hepatopancreas due to DPH exposure, with gills identified as the key tissue for assessing DPH toxicity in these aquatic organisms.*
