Exposure to UV light generates a ring-closed isomer of a diarylethene, which undergoes very slow bond breaking and release even after the light is turned off. The rate of release is increased by exposing the isomer to UV and/or visible light.

Assessing Mitigation Translocation as a Tool to Reduce Human-great Horned owl Conflicts.

Environ Manage

January 2025

United States Department of Agriculture, Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services, Fort Collins, CO, USA.

The great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) is a generalist predator that inhabits wide-ranging territories that are relatively stable throughout the year. These owls are also involved in a variety of human-owl conflicts, including killing of domestic poultry, predating colonially nesting seabirds and shorebirds, and pose a hazard to safe aircraft operations. Managing these conflict situations presents unique challenges as great horned owls are nocturnally active and occupy a wide range of habitats.

Involutional lower eyelid ectropion is a common disorder of the elderly population. Several surgical approaches have been described in the literature to address the multifactorial nature of this condition, each targeting different factors contributing to its development. Nevertheless, no single procedure has proven to be superior to the others.

Accuracy of Rhythm Diagnostic Systems' MultiSense in Detection of Arterial Oxygen Saturation and Respiratory Rate During Hypoxia in Humans: Effects of Skin Color and Device Localization.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2024

Biomedicine Research Center of Strasbourg (CRBS), UR 3072, "Mitochondria, Oxidative Stress and Muscle Plasticity", Faculty of Medicine, University of Strasbourg, 67000 Strasbourg, France.

The continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation (SpO) and respiratory rates (RRs) are major clinical issues in many cardio-respiratory diseases and have been of tremendous importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. The early detection of hypoxemia was crucial since it precedes significant complications, and SpO follow-up allowed early hospital discharge in patients needing oxygen therapy. Nevertheless, fingertip devices showed some practical limitations.

Fertility Sparing in Endometrial Cancer: Where Are We Now?

Cancers (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Molecular and Developmental Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecological Clinic, University of Siena, 53100 Siena, Italy.

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological neoplasm with an increased incidence in the premenopausal population in recent decades. This raises the problem of managing endometrial cancer in fertile women who have not yet achieved pregnancy. In these women, after careful selection, hysterectomy may be postponed in favor of conservative management if specific requirements are met.

Development and Assessment of a Color-Variable Chlorine Dioxide Slow-Releasing Card for Litchi Preservation.

Foods

January 2025

Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Food Quality and Safety, College of Food Science, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510641, China.

Chlorine dioxide (ClO) gas has attracted considerable attention due to its safety and efficiency. In this study, we successfully developed a color-variable ClO slow-releasing card for postharvest litchi. The optimal ClO slow-releasing card was prepared as follows: Card A was soaked in 2.
