Interventional human ocular safety experiments for 222‐nm far‐ultraviolet‐C lamp irradiation

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 517-526, March/April 2025.
To directly assess the ocular safety of 222‐nm far‐ultraviolet‐C (UVC) irradiation in humans, five subjects were exposed to 222‐nm UVC at doses of 22, 50, and 75 mJ/cm2. The findings indicate that far‐UVC irradiation does not cause “clinically significant photokeratitis” or long‐term ocular damage, though it may induce temporary discomfort.

The Nagoya Protocol and the EU ABS Regulation

, 2018
Genetic resources play an increasing role in developing and producing food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. This may relate to plants, animals or parts thereof as well as microorganisms.  The Nagoya protocol is an international agreement that governs the utilization of such genetic resources and traditional knowledge linked to the resource.

Human ocular‐discomfort‐free thresholds for 222 nm Far‐UVC irradiation: A prospective interventional study

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Eye discomfort induced by 222 nm far‐UVC irradiation is significantly correlated with both irradiance and radiant exposure dose. The red circles indicate conditions with significant differences in the number of eye discomfort compared to the control group (blue circles), while the green circles indicate conditions with no difference from the control ...

There Is Always a Bigger Fish. Determinants of Power Perceptions in Swiss Biodiversity Policy

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) views power as crucial in policy processes, but the nature of coalition power, its determinants, and how to empirically measure it remain understudied. In this article, we use a mixed method approach and social network analysis to explore power relationships in the biodiversity policy subsystem in ...

TMEM16A Ca2+‐activated Cl− channel: Functional interactions with cytoskeletal and membrane‐associated proteins

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The calcium‐activated chloride (ClCa) channel TMEM16A (also known as ANO1) plays critical roles in ion transport, neurotransmission and smooth muscle contraction. Dysregulation of TMEM16A channel activity contributes to the development and progression of various diseases.

Phase I/II Prospective Study on Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Hepaticogastrostomy as Primary Drainage for Unresectable Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Objectives Various drainage methods have been used for unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO). However, controlling cholangitis and obstructive jaundice is still challenging. We performed a phase I/II study of endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) as primary drainage for MHBO.

Efficacy and Safety of Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Biliary Drainage in the Management of Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO) remains challenging for biliary decompression. Although endoscopic ultrasound‐guided biliary drainage (EUS‐BD) has emerged as an alternative to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography‐guided BD (ERCP‐BD), evidence regarding EUS‐BD for MHBO is limited. Aims To evaluate the efficacy and safety of

Current Status and Unmet Needs of EUS Education in Japan: A Nationwide Survey Focusing on Screening EUS, EUS‐Guided Sampling, and Interventional EUS

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) plays a central role in the management of pancreaticobiliary diseases. However, EUS training in Japan remains highly dependent on the experience and educational capacity of individual institutions and supervisors, and the nationwide status of EUS education has not been comprehensively evaluated.
