Oxygen Therapy during Exercise in Patients with Interstitial Lung Diseases [PDF]
Introduction: ILDs are a varied group of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases associated with high morbidity and mortality. Current treatments can only slow their progression but not cure the disease. Other treatments such as oxygen therapy can also be used

A Quantum Mechanical Description of Photosensitization in Photodynamic Therapy using a Two-Electron Molecule Approximation [PDF]
A fundamental, Quantum Mechanical description of photoactivation of a generic photosensitizer and the ensuing transfer of energy to endogenous oxygen as part of the Type II pathway to photodamage during photodynamic therapy (PDT) is presented. The PS and molecular oxygen are approximated as two-electron molecules.

Singlet oxygen luminescence detection with a fiber-coupled superconducting nanowire single-photon detector [PDF]
Direct monitoring of singlet oxygen (1O2) luminescence is a particularly challenging infrared photodetection problem. 1O2, an excited state of the oxygen molecule, is a crucial intermediate in many biological processes. We employ a low noise superconducting nanowire single-photon detector to record 1O2 luminescence at 1270 nm wavelength from a model ...

Direct evidence for low-energy electron emission following O LVV Auger transitions at oxide surfaces [PDF]
Oxygen, the third most abundant element in the universe, plays a key role in the chemistry of condensed matter and biological systems. Here, we report evidence for a hitherto unexplored Auger transition in oxides, where a valence band electron fills a vacancy in the 2s state of oxygen, transferring sufficient energy to allow electron emission.

Structural Causal Model with Expert Augmented Knowledge to Estimate the Effect of Oxygen Therapy on Mortality in the ICU [PDF]
Recent advances in causal inference techniques, more specifically, in the theory of structural causal models, provide the framework for identification of causal effects from observational data in the cases where the causal graph is identifiable, i.e., the data generating mechanism can be recovered from the joint distribution.

Interplay of Hypoxia-Inducible Factors and Oxygen Therapy in Cardiovascular Medicine [PDF]
Mammals have evolved to adapt to differences in oxygen availability. Although systemic oxygen homeostasis relies on respiratory and circulatory responses, cellular adaptation to hypoxia involves the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF ...
