Neutrophil adhesion to vessel walls impairs pulmonary circulation in COVID-19 pathology by Hiroshi Ueki, I-Hsuan Wang, Maki Kiso, Kenta Horie, Shun Iida, Sohtaro Mine, Michiko Ujie, Hung-Wei Hsu, Chen-Hui Henry Wu, Masaki Imai, Tadaki Suzuki, Wataru Kamitani, Eiryo Kawakami, Yoshihiro Kawaoka

“…In this study, we investigated mouse models with severe pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection by using our in vivo two-photon imaging system. In the lungs of SARS-CoV-2-infected mice, increased expression of adhesion molecules in intravascular neutrophils prolonged adhesion time to the vessel wall, resulting in platelet aggregation and impaired lung perfusion. …”

On the two-loop BSM corrections to $$h\longrightarrow \gamma \gamma $$ h ⟶ γ γ in a triplet extension of the SM by Giuseppe Degrassi, Pietro Slavich

“…We focus on the two-loop corrections controlled by the quartic scalar couplings, and obtain explicit and compact formulas for the $$h \gamma \gamma $$ h γ γ amplitude by means of a low-energy theorem that connects it to the derivative of the photon self-energy w.r.t. the Higgs field. We briefly discuss the numerical impact of the newly-computed contributions, showing that they may be required for a precise determination of $$\Gamma [h\rightarrow \gamma \gamma ]$$ Γ [ h → γ γ ] in scenarios where the quartic scalar couplings are large.…”

Effect of Deoxycholic Acid on the Performance of Liquid Electrolyte Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Using a Perylene Monoimide Derivative by Ganesh D. Sharma, Rajnish Kurchania, Richard J. Ball, Mahesh S. Roy, John A. Mikroyannidis

“…The current-voltage characteristics under illumination and incident photon to current efficiency (IPCE) spectra of the DSSCs showed that the coadsorption of DCA with the PCA dye results in a significant improvement in short circuit photocurrent and slight increase in the open circuit photovoltage, which lead to an overall power conversion efficiency. …”

Production of Σ baryons as a function of multiplicity in pp collisions at the LHC with ALICE by Gordeev Pavel

“…Historically, the first one used the decay channel Σ+ → pπ0 with reconstruction of the proton with the tracking systems at mid-rapidity and the π0 in the electromagnetic calorimeter EMCAL or via the photon conversion method. The second technique used the decay channel ∑-± → n¯π± where charged pions are reconstructed with the tracking systems and the anti-neutron in the precise electromagnetic calorimeter PHOS. …”

A Case of REM Sleep Behavior Disorder, Narcolepsy-Cataplexy, Parkinsonism, and Rheumatoid Arthritis by Filomena I. I. Cosentino, Angela Distefano, Giuseppe Plazzi, Carlos H. Schenck, Raffaele Ferri

“…A 78-year-old male patient in whom RBD was first diagnosed was followed-up by clinical examination, video-polysomnography, multiple sleep latency test, cerebral magnetic resonance imaging, and dopamine transporter imaging by single-photon emission computerized tomography. The patient was found to present for almost two decades, in addition to RBD, also narcolepsy. …”
