Aim: To explore if electrographic status epilepticus (ESE) after cardiac arrest causes additional secondary brain injury reflected by serum levels of two novel biomarkers of brain injury: neurofilament light chain (NfL) originating from neurons and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) from glial cells. Methods: Simplified continuous EEG (cEEG) and serum levels of NfL and GFAP, sampled at 24, 48
The precise separation of nanoscale particles has proven challenging due to diffusion and the need to use nanoscale devices. We show the separation of particles in the 100 nm size range in Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) devices with feature sizes in the 10 µm size range. We achieve this using Dielectrophoretic (DEP) forces, generated between the metal coated posts that act as active elec
High throughput in particle and molecular sorting schemes is an important performance indicator and can be realized through increased volumetric processing rates or increased concentrations. Here we investigate the effect of increased concentration of high-molecular weight DNA in micropillar arrays for deterministic lateral displacement (DLD). We find that the array imposes regular fluctuations in
Importance Tracheal intubation is one of the most commonly performed and high-risk interventions in critically ill patients. Limited information is available on adverse peri-intubation events.Objective To evaluate the incidence and nature of adverse peri-intubation events and to assess current practice of intubation in critically ill patients.Design, Setting, and Participants The International
The US Office of the Director of National Intelligence recently released its annual threat assessment, in which Iran is mentioned no fewer than 60 times as part of a “diverse array of threats” facing the US. Iran is moving toward its goal of full domination of Iraq and the expulsion of the last remaining US forces from that country, a result that would represent a great success for the Islamic Rep
Over the last 7 years, a multidimensional crisis in Venezuela has resulted in massive emigration. Over 7 million have fled the country, with more than 2.4 million seeking to settle in Colombia. Of these, as of 2021, more than 1 million were undocumented, but the situation has started to change with the implementation of an ambitious migrant regularisation scheme. Regularisation promises access to
Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is the predominant water channel in the brain; it is enriched in astrocytic foot processes abutting vessels where it is anchored through an interaction with the dystrophin-associated protein (DAP) complex. Enhanced expression with concomitant mislocalization of AQP4 along astrocyte plasma membranes is a hallmark of several neurological conditions. Thus, there is an urgent need t
After World War I, millions of men went back from the war front promised of land, work and social justice, but their expectations were unfulfilled by the governments of European countries. In this context, the political landscape was enriched of new ideas, and several new parties, movements and associations born across Europe. In Italy, ANMIG (Disabled Ex-Servicemen National Association) was
Acoustic trapping is becoming increasingly popular as a tool to isolate and enrich biological nanoparticles [1] (particularly extracellular vesicles [2]), yet an inherent problem with acoustic trapping of nanoparticles is calibration of the trapping efficiency. This abstract presents in-house synthesized nanoparticles with different sound scattering properties, either rigid high density gold nanop
Stretching DNA in nanochannels allows for direct, visual studies of genomic DNA at the single molecule level. In order to facilitate the study of the interaction of linear DNA with proteins in nanochannels, we have implemented a highly effective passivation scheme based on lipid bilayers. We show long-term passivation of nanochannel surfaces to several relevant reagents and demonstrate that the pe
We have built an array of vertical nanotubes connected by a subsurface nanofluidic channel. The nanotube system is to be used for cell injections. By culturing cells on top of the nanotubes the cells will be pierced and molecules can enter the cells via the subsurface channel. Several channels can be made on the same sample and different molecules can be injected into different subpopulations of c
Mental health issues differ widely among individuals, with varied signs and symptoms. Recently, language-based assessments have shown promise in capturing this diversity, but they require a substantial sample of words per person for accuracy. This work introduces the task of Adaptive Language-Based Assessment (ALBA), which involves adaptively ordering questions while also scoring an individual’s l
Young people have been prominent climate advocates globally and they are also becoming increasingly visible in global climate politics. They have participated in Conferences of the Parties (COPs) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) since COP1 in 1995. While recent studies have started to examine the representativeness and participation of youth at the COPs, we sti

The need for radical transformations to respond to the environmental polycrises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution has come to the forefront of political and academic debates. Nation states must have transformative capacity, meaning the ability to ignite, enable, and steer large-scale sustainability transformations. However, despite its importance, there remains a significant gap
