Device simulation plays a crucial role in complementing experimental device characterisation by enabling deeper understanding of internal physical processes. However, for simulations to be trusted, experimental validation is essential to confirm the accuracy of the conclusions drawn. In the framework of semiconductor detector characterisation, one powerful tool for such validation is the Two Photon Absorption-Transient Current Technique (TPA-TCT), which allows for highly precise, three-dimensional spatially-resolved characterisation of semiconductor detectors.

Antibody responses against the blood-stage antigen Merozoite Surface Protein 2 (MSP2) are associated with protection from malaria, but its extensive polymorphism is a barrier to its development as a vaccine candidate. New tools, such as long-read sequencing and accurate protein structure modelling allow us to study the genetic diversity and immune responses towards antigens from clinical isolates with unprecedented detail.

But no or little experience appears to exist for the application of incobotulinum neurotoxin type A (incoBoNT/A) in complex pain disorders. Here, a case of CRPS type I, characterized by severe symptoms in the left forearm is presented, showed significant continuous improvement following a series of six repetitive (painful) injections into the finger, hand, and forearm muscles of incoBoNT/A every 3 months, administered at declining doses varying between 500 and 100 U.
