Article Abstract
In today's world, where stress and addiction are increasingly prevalent due to job pressures and coping mechanisms, dopamine (Dopa), a key hormone linked to mood, happiness, and mental health, has become vital for understanding conditions like depression and anxiety. Our study focuses on detecting Dopa pathways both in vitro using HEK293 cells and in vivo using zebrafish under stress and addiction conditions. We employed a biocompatible organic fluorophore (P1), with pyrazole-4-carboxaldehyde as the recognition unit, which demonstrated a detection limit of 8.2 nM, aligning with physiological Dopa levels. P1's efficacy in detecting Dopa was validated in human samples (urine, blood, and serum) and artificial samples, confirming its potential for real-world applications. This research is crucial for developing better diagnostic tools and therapies for dopamine-related disorders, offering significant societal benefits for addressing mental health challenges.

The paraventricular thalamic nucleus (PVT) integrates subcortical signals related to arousal, stress, addiction, and anxiety with top-down cortical influences. Increases or decreases in PVT activity exert profound, long-lasting effects on behavior related to motivation, addiction and homeostasis. Yet the sources of its subcortical excitatory and inhibitory afferents, their distribution within the PVT, and their integration with layer-specific cortical inputs remain unclear.

20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 can reduce the effects of oxidative stress and cell death in cerebral ischemia‒reperfusion injury (CIRI). Neuroinflammation is crucial post-CIRI, but how 20(R)-Rg3 affects ischemia‒reperfusion-induced neuroinflammation is unclear. To study 20(R)-Rg3's effects on neuroinflammation and neuronal preservation in stroke models and explore toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor-88/nuclear factor kappa B (TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB) pathway mechanisms.

Research suggests that Problem Gambling (PG) may result from maladaptive emotional regulation strategies aimed at escaping emotions and stress caused by negative life events and trauma. The current study, aimed to examine the effect of exposure to the mass trauma of October 7, 2023 terror attack and the consequent Swords of Iron war in Israel, and difficulties in emotional regulation on PG. We utilized longitudinal data of self-reports in the Problem Gambling Severity Index collected before the terror attack (April 2022) and during the Swords of Iron war (December 2023, March 2024, June 2024; N = 899) from a large sample of adult Jewish Israelis.

Introduction: Health professionals may be susceptible to misusing alcohol due to stress and burnout. This is especially true in states with high alcohol consumption. Health care organizations can implement evidence-based policies, programs, and solutions that identify, address, and help prevent adverse outcomes and burnout for health workers.
