Summary: The traditional classification of acute pain vs chronic pain is arbitrary and fails to acknowledge fundamental differences in clinical pain phenomena. A more effective categorization based on peripheral-generated pain versus centrally-maintained pain would advance both pain research and clinical care.

Summary: In vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) models have been instrumental in studying immune cell trafficking, drug delivery, and understanding disease mechanisms. This study presents a double-templating technique to engineer hierarchical BBB models with physiological barrier function at the capillary scale. The models successfully recreate capillary-scale effects observed in mouse models and enable the study of various biological and pathological processes related to the human BBB.

Summary: This study applied the theoretical frameworks of the social and artistic brain to investigate how VTS methods influence gaze patterns and personal resonance with artworks. The results showed that using VTS techniques directed gaze towards social cues in artworks, and audio cues had a stronger effect than contextual information. However, the viewing condition did not affect personal resonance with the artworks.

Summary: The blood-brain barrier plays a crucial role in regulating the passage of molecules between the central nervous system and peripheral circulation. Repeat morphine dosing may not significantly affect the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.

Summary: This paper investigates the quantification of the planar shape of urban green space water bodies using fractal theory. By selecting water bodies within the municipal area and using remote sensing data images, the fractal dimensions were calculated to determine the complexity of the water body. The results show that the fractal dimension can be used as a quantitative parameter for evaluating the planar morphology of water bodies in urban green spaces.

Rehabilitation
Derick T. Wade
Summary: This article mainly introduces how the author, as the editor of Clinical Rehabilitation, supported and encouraged the publication of articles with evidence-based, conceptual and scientific basis on rehabilitation to answer the definition and features of rehabilitation. The author believes that the essential feature characterizing rehabilitation is its holistic, person-centered approach, and its focus on social integration.

Summary: This article emphasizes the importance of broader application of brain single-photon-emission-computed-tomography (SPECT) in clinical psychiatric practice and proposes seven specific clinical applications. By incorporating neuroimaging tools like SPECT into day-to-day practice, psychiatry can be advanced by transforming mental health care into brain health care that is more likely to be embraced by a larger group of people in need.

Summary: Recent research has found that misconceptions about climate dynamics among the public may explain the lack of support for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The stock-flow problem, which refers to the challenge of inferring the behavior of a stock variable given information on its inflows and outflows, is identified as the core issue. By promoting global thinking and highlighting areas of difference, researchers propose a possible solution to shift people's thinking process towards the correct understanding, supported by two studies. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Summary: This paper examines the philosophy and practice of three-way decision-making, focusing on triadic thinking and the use of triworld models. It discusses various triadic metaphors and structures, and proposes a TAO framework for three-way decision-making. The paper emphasizes the power of three-way decision-making in building high-level conceptual models.

Summary: In cystic fibrosis lung disease, the dysfunction of recruited myeloid cells, particularly neutrophils, has been well-studied. This research shows that while monocytes recruited to CF airways do not undergo metabolic activation or significant phenotypic changes, they do exhibit decreased bactericidal activity and differences in immune signaling gene expression compared to healthy controls. These findings highlight the dysregulated bactericidal activity of monocytes in CF airways and provide insights into the immune responses in the CF microenvironment.

Summary: The interaction between the physical world and information technologies creates advantages and emerging threats. Traditional risk analysis is not sufficient to deal with these problems. This article introduces a new method based on systems theory for security process analysis, integrating it with quantitative resilience assessment using simulation models.

Summary: In the past twenty years, numerous collaboration-based languages have emerged, with a new language named Set Oriented Programming (SOP) being introduced to improve reusability and interactivity by composing collaborations instead of inheriting them. Events are used to enhance role interaction, while delegations are proposed for dynamic context solution, ultimately improving reusability and tackling context issues.
