How can Warfarin be safe “ even in ” first trimester of pregnancy ? The story behind the 5 mg cut-off !
The well known pro-coagulant state of pregnancy is an evolutionary protective process to make blood clot quicker, to save fetal loss in early pregnancy and mitigate postpartum bleeding. Still, in many women, this natural adaptive process confers an enhanced thrombotic risk. The molecular mechanisms for this pro-coagulant state are, there is increased factor VII, fibrinogen, reduced protein S. It is interesting to note, while plasminogen levels are elevated, D-dimer is also increased, indicating an ongoing fight between pro & anticoagulant forces, converting the physiological maternal- placental bed a mini harmless DIC ...

Which Human Experiences Are Universal?
By Emma Young As everyone knows, American undergrads are not representative of all humanity — and the perils of drawing conclusions about people in general from WEIRD studies have been well-publicised. To really understand which human experiences are universal, and which are a product of our individual cultures, we need big, well-conducted studies of people from many different cultures. Fortunately, there are studies like this. Here are some of their most fascinating insights… Personal space How big is your “personal space”? As a Brit, I’d expect mine to be larger than that of th...

Optical Illusions And Problematic Peer-Review: The Week ’s Best Psychology Links
Our weekly round-up of the best psychology coverage from elsewhere on the web Visual illusions occur because our brains construct stories about how things should look, based on our experiences and expectations, which don’t always match up with reality. And with a greater understanding of how we (mis)interpret the visual world, perhaps we can also come to understand the more complicated biases in our thoughts and behaviour that have led to the polarised political climate, writes Brian Resnick at Vox. Aside from being a great read, the story contains some really nice examples of visual illusions that I had never come acros...

COVID-19 and Touch Deprivation
No-one can escape the fact that the world has changed beyond recognition in just a few short weeks. The body count continues to rise and is a stark reminder to us of how vulnerable humans can be to nature. Furthermore, usually frantically busy streets and cities are now deserted, shopping malls are closed, restaurants and bars are shut down and much of the world’s population is under virtual “house arrest.” Social distancing and lockdown are the buzz phrases of the hour. How can we look after our mental health in a world where isolation (by necessity) has become more prevalent than ever and in fact, the new “norm....

Box-tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis
The Box-tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis, is an Asian species of moth (usually seen in (Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, the Russian Far East, and India), that is gradually spreading, presumably with the advent of box hedges on new housing estates, across the South East of England.
