Coherently and Incoherently Pumped Telecom C-Band Single-Photon Source with High Brightness and Indistinguishability.

Long-range, terrestrial quantum networks require high-brightness single-photon sources emitting in the telecom C-band for maximum transmission rates. For solid-state quantum emitters, the underlying pumping process, i.e.

Promising Outcomes of Modified ALPPS for Staged Hepatectomy in Cholangiocarcinoma.

Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is a two-stage procedure that can potentially cure patients with large cholangiocarcinoma. The current study evaluates the impact of modifications on the outcomes of ALPPS in patients with cholangiocarcinoma. In this single-center study, a series of 30 consecutive patients with cholangiocarcinoma (22 extrahepatic and 8 intrahepatic) who underwent ALPPS between 2011 and 2021 was evaluated.

JNKs protect from cholestatic liver disease progression by modulating Apelin signalling.

Background & Aims: Cholestatic liver injury is associated with c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) activation in distinct cell types. Its hepatocyte-specific function during cholestasis, however, has not yet been established. Therefore, in our present study, we investigated the role of JNK1/2 during cholestasis and dissected its hepatocyte-specific function.

Experiences with accreditation for radon measurement laboratories.

The adoption of the Council Directive 2013/59/EURATOM into Austrian national law generated new challenges for businesses, authorities and measurement services. The law defines radon priority regions in which all employers are obliged to hire an authorised radon-monitoring service to determine radon activity concentration at workplaces in basements and on ground floors. In this paper, an overview of our experiences with the process of becoming an accredited and authorised radon-monitoring body using integrating and time-resolved radon measurement equipment is given.

suPAR links a dysregulated immune response to tissue inflammation and sepsis-induced acute kidney injury.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to sepsis results in poor outcomes and conventional kidney function indicators lack diagnostic value. Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is an innate immune-derived molecule implicated in inflammatory organ damage. We characterized the diagnostic ability of longitudinal serum suPAR levels to discriminate severity and course of sepsis-induced AKI (SI-AKI) in 200 critically ill patients meeting Sepsis-3 criteria.
