Article Abstract
Psychologists, economists, and philosophers have long argued that in environments where deception is normative, moral behavior is harmed. In this article, we show that individuals making decisions within minimally deceptive environments do not behave more dishonestly than in nondeceptive environments. We demonstrate the latter using an example of experimental deception within established institutions, such as laboratories and institutional review boards. We experimentally manipulated whether participants received information about their deception. Across three well-powered studies, we empirically demonstrate that minimally deceptive environments do not affect downstream dishonest behavior. Only when participants were in a minimally deceptive environment and aware of being observed, their dishonest behavior decreased. Our results show that the relationship between deception and dishonesty might be more complicated than previous interpretations have suggested and expand the understanding of how deception might affect (im)moral behavior. We discuss possible limitations and future directions as well as the applied nature of these findings. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Prompt injection attacks on vision-language models for surgical decision support.
medRxiv

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA.
Importance: Artificial Intelligence-driven analysis of laparoscopic video holds potential to increase the safety and precision of minimally invasive surgery. Vision-language models are particularly promising for video-based surgical decision support due to their capabilities to comprehend complex temporospatial (video) data. However, the same multimodal interfaces that enable such capabilities also introduce new vulnerabilities to manipulations through embedded deceptive text or images (prompt injection attacks).

Bridge-like lipid transporters (BLTPs) have recently been revealed as key regulators of intraorganellar lipid trafficking, with their loss being associated with defective synaptic signalling and congenital neurological diseases. This group consists of five protein subfamilies [BLTP1-3, autophagy-related 2 (ATG2), and vacuolar protein sorting 13 (VPS13)], which mediate minimally selective lipid transfer between cellular membranes. Deceptively simple in both structure and presumed function, this review addresses open questions as to how bridge-like transporters work, the functional consequences of bulk lipid transfer on cellular signalling, and summarises some recent studies that have shed light on the surprising level of regulation and specificity found in this family of transporters.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of three verbal suggestion techniques during short-term video-electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings to induce psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) in children aged 5-18 years.
- All three methods showed similar success rates in reproducing events, with verbal suggestion alone being as effective as methods using additional tools like a tuning fork or cotton swab.
- The presence of psychiatric comorbidity was found to be a significant predictor for event reproduction, while the specific suggestion method used did not significantly impact clinical outcomes after 12 weeks.
Paradigm Shift from Linear Strip to Follicular Unit Excision in Hair Restoration Surgery.

Department of Surgical Hair Restoration, Anastasakis Hair Clinic, Athens, Attiki, Greece.
Follicular unit excision (FUE) is a very effective and valuable modality for obtaining donor hair follicles using manual, motorized, or robotic devices to harvest individual donor follicular units in situ without a linear donor scar or visible scarring making it ideal for patients who wish to wear their hair short and hide signs of surgery. Over the past two decades, FUE has become increasingly popular, and the rising demand for FUE has driven the worldwide market size of hair restoration surgery (HRS) to an unprecedented height.FUE has revolutionized the HRS industry and offers excellent cosmesis and high patient satisfaction.
