Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) is a rare but life-threatening neurological emergency that arises primarily from the use of dopamine antagonist antipsychotic medications. Clinically, it is characterized by hyperthermia, muscle rigidity, altered mental status, and signs of autonomic dysregulation. Despite being a well-documented phenomenon, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of NMS remain poorly understood, and early detection remains a clinical challenge. This study introduces a c...

Informing and whistleblowing behavior in education displays differentiated characteristics across age groups, with clear variations in motives, methods, and purposes. This paper argues that the destructive impact of whistleblowing on classroom interpersonal relationships does not stem from its motives, but rather from whether teachers guide such behavior toward institutionalized norms. By introducing the principle of procedural justice and establishing standardized channels for whistleblowing, i...
