Analytic plasma wakefield limits for active plasma lenses [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Active plasma lensing is a promising technology for compact focusing of particle beams that has seen a recent surge of interest. While these lenses can provide strong focusing gradients of order kT/m and focusing in both transverse planes, there are limitations from nonlinear aberrations, causing emittance growth in the beams being focused.

Behavior of Compressed Plasmas in Magnetic Fields [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Plasma in the earth's magnetosphere is subjected to compression during geomagnetically active periods and relaxation in subsequent quiet times. Repeated compression and relaxation is the origin of much of the plasma dynamics and intermittency in the near-earth environment.

Things We Do for No Reason: Failing to consider primary aldosteronism in the initial evaluation of hypertension, hypertensive urgency, and hypertensive emergency

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypertension is frequently treated as essential hypertension. However, secondary causes of hypertension should be considered, because distinct treatments are used for different causes of hypertension. Primary aldosteronism is considered a candidate for the most common cause of secondary hypertension.

Treatment Selection and Prioritization for the EJS ACT‐PD MAMS Trial Platform

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background There are currently no disease‐modifying therapies (DMTs) registered for Parkinson's disease (PD). The Edmond J. Safra Accelerating Clinical Trials in Parkinson Disease (EJS ACT‐PD) initiative will expedite clinical assessment of putative DMTs through a multi‐arm multistage (MAMS) trial, testing several treatments against a common ...

Plasma-assisted Discharges and Charging in EUV-induced Plasma [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
In the past years, EUV lithography scanner systems have entered High-Volume Manufacturing for state-of-the-art Integrated Circuits (IC), with critical dimensions down to 10 nm. This technology uses 13.5 nm EUV radiation, which is transmitted through a near-vacuum H2 background gas, imaging the pattern of a reticle onto a wafer.

Urinary Proteomics and Systems Biology Link Eight Proteins to the Higher Risk of Hypertension and Related Complications in Blacks Versus Whites

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Blacks are more prone to salt‐sensitive hypertension than Whites. This cross‐sectional analysis of a multi‐ethnic cohort aimed to search for proteins potentially involved in the susceptibility to salt sensitivity, hypertension, and hypertension‐related complications.

Effects of Saffron Supplementation on Glycolipid Metabolism and Blood Pressure in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome and Related Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Saffron is a traditional herbal medicine used to treat conditions associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the conclusions of relevant clinical studies have been inconsistent. This study aimed to assess the impact of saffron supplementation on the metabolism of glycolipids and blood pressure in individuals with MetS and related ...

Adjoint Monte Carlo calculation of charged plasma particle flux to wall [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
This manuscript describes an adjoint/reverse Monte Carlo method to calculate the flux of charged plasma particles to the wall of e.g. a tokamak. Two applications are described: a fusion product activation probe and a neutral beam injection prompt loss measurement with a fast ion loss diagnostic.

Recent Advances in Mammalian Olfactory Receptor Function and Structure

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
Olfactory receptors (ORs), a subset of G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs), mediate odor detection in sensory neurons and regulate diverse physiological functions across tissues. Their roles in metabolism, immunity, and neural processes underscore their therapeutic relevance. Recent high‐resolution Cryo‐EM studies have unveiled OR activation mechanisms,
