TL;DR: Two studies show that moral judgments can be made more severe by the presence of a flash of disgust, and suggest thatmoral judgments may be grounded in affectively laden moral intuitions.
Abstract: Highly hypnotizable participants were given a posthypnotic suggestion to feel a flash of disgust whenever they read an arbitrary word. They were then asked to rate moral transgressions described in vignettes that either did or did not include the disgust-inducing word. Two studies show that moral judgments can be made more severe by the presence of a flash of disgust. These findings suggest that moral judgments may be grounded in affectively laden moral intuitions.

TL;DR: It is shown that BAI1 functions as an engulfment receptor in both the recognition and subsequent internalization of apoptotic cells, and is a phosphatidylserine recognition receptor that can directly recruit a Rac–GEF complex to mediate the uptake of apoptosis cells.
Abstract: Apoptotic cells must be removed by phagocytes to avoid local inflammation. They expose phosphatidylserine, which is normally restricted to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane, on their surface, acting as an 'eat-me' signal. This paper shows that the BAI1 protein is an upstream receptor for phosphatidylserine in mammalian macrophages

TL;DR: Atherosclerosis occurs in the subendothelial space (intima) of medium-sized arteries at regions of disturbed blood flow and is triggered by an interplay between endothelial dysfunction and sub-endothel lipoprotein retention as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Atherosclerosis occurs in the subendothelial space (intima) of medium-sized arteries at regions of disturbed blood flow and is triggered by an interplay between endothelial dysfunction and subendothelial lipoprotein retention. Over time, this process stimulates a nonresolving inflammatory response that can cause intimal destruction, arterial thrombosis, and end-organ ischemia. Recent advances highlight important cell biological atherogenic processes, including mechanotransduction and inflammatory processes in endothelial cells, origins and contributions of lesional macrophages, and origins and phenotypic switching of lesional smooth muscle cells. These advances illustrate how in-depth mechanistic knowledge of the cellular pathobiology of atherosclerosis can lead to new ideas for therapy.

TL;DR: It is shown how ecosystem service assessments can be expanded to include mental health, and a heuristic, conceptual model for doing so is provided.
Abstract: A growing body of empirical evidence is revealing the value of nature experience for mental health. With rapid urbanization and declines in human contact with nature globally, crucial decisions must be made about how to preserve and enhance opportunities for nature experience. Here, we first provide points of consensus across the natural, social, and health sciences on the impacts of nature experience on cognitive functioning, emotional well-being, and other dimensions of mental health. We then show how ecosystem service assessments can be expanded to include mental health, and provide a heuristic, conceptual model for doing so.

TL;DR: Compared with the JNC7 guideline, the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline results in a substantial increase in the prevalence of hypertension, a small increase inThe percentage of US adults recommended for antihypertensive medication, and more intensive BP lowering for many adults taking antihyertensive medication.
