Considerations for a Micromirror Array Optimized for Compressive Sensing (VIS to MIR) in Space Applications.

Earth observation (EO) is crucial for addressing environmental and societal challenges, but it struggles with revisit times and spatial resolution. The EU-funded SURPRISE project aims to improve EO capabilities by studying space instrumentation using compressive sensing (CS) implemented through spatial light modulators (SLMs) based on micromirror arrays (MMAs) to improve the ground sampling distance. In the SURPRISE project, we studied the development of an MMA that meets the requirements of a CS-based geostationary instrument working in the visible (VIS) and mid-infrared (MIR) spectral ranges.

Kv2 channels contribute to neuronal activity within the vagal afferent-nTS reflex arc.

Diversity in the functional expression of ion channels contributes to the unique patterns of activity generated in visceral sensory A-type myelinated neurons versus C-type unmyelinated neurons in response to their natural stimuli. In the present study, Kv2 channels were identified as underlying a previously uncharacterized delayed rectifying potassium current expressed in both A- and C-type nodose ganglion neurons. Kv2.

Voltage-gated potassium channel proteins and stereoselective S-nitroso-l-cysteine signaling.

S-nitroso-l-cysteine (L-CSNO) behaves as a ligand. Its soluble guanylate cyclase-independent (sGC-independent) effects are stereoselective - that is, not recapitulated by S-nitroso-d-cysteine (D-CSNO) - and are inhibited by chemical congeners. However, candidate L-CSNO receptors have not been identified.

Hydrofilm Polyurethane Films Reduce Radiation Dermatitis Severity in Hypofractionated Whole-Breast Irradiation: An Objective, Intra-Patient Randomized Dual-Center Assessment.

Radiation-induced skin injury represents the most frequent side effect in breast cancer patients undergoing whole-breast irradiation (WBI). Numerous clinical studies on systemic and topical treatments for radiation dermatitis have failed to provide sustainable treatment strategies. While protective skin products such as dressings are undoubtedly the standard of care in wound care management, their utilization as preventive treatment in radiotherapy has been somewhat neglected in recent years.

Simultaneous cardiac and respiratory inhibition during seizure precedes death in the DBA/1 audiogenic mouse model of SUDEP.

This study was designed to evaluate cardiac and respiratory dysfunction in a mouse model of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy i.e., SUDEP.
