We study general two-body decays of primitive and non-primitive 1/4-BPS dyons in four-dimensional type IIB string compactifications. We find a ``master equation'' for marginal stability that generalises the curve found by Sen for half-BPS decay, and ...

Transplantation of the heart after circulatory death of the donor: time for a change in law? [PDF]
Procurement of organs has always been conducted according to the dead donor rule, that is, after death of the donor — but this practice is being challenged. Introduction Australia has an increasing shortfall in transplantable hearts.

Ferroptosis: friend or foe in cancer immunotherapy?
Ferroptosis has gained interest due to it immunogenicity and the higher sensitivity of cancer cells to it. However, it was recently shown that ferroptosis in tumor-associated neutrophils leads to immunosuppression and negatively impacts therapy. Here, we

Sorafenib fails to trigger ferroptosis across a wide range of cancer cell lines
Sorafenib, a protein kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and advanced renal cell carcinoma, has been repeatedly reported to induce ferroptosis by possibly involving inhibition of the cystine/glutamate antiporter, known

Mechanical ventilation frequently saves lives that are threatened by temporary respiratory failure; but when breathing stops due to irreversible brain damage ventilation only prolongs the process of dying, as organs serially cease to function. The possibility of extending from a few minutes to many days the interval between final failure of the brain ...
