Genetic Variants in the SCN9A Gene are Detected in a Minority of Erythromelalgia Patients
Gain-of-function variants in the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7, encoded by the SCN9A gene, have previously been identified in patients with erythromelalgia, a clinical diagnosis defined by intermittent attacks of painful, hot, swollen, and red skin,

Moderate hypothermia within 6 h of birth plus inhaled xenon versus moderate hypothermia alone after birth asphyxia (TOBY-Xe): a proof-of-concept, open-label, randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Background Moderate cooling after birth asphyxia is associated with substantial reductions in death and disability, but additional therapies might provide further benefit.

Structural Basis for Xenon Inhibition in a Cationic Pentameric Ligand-Gated Ion Channel. [PDF]
GLIC receptor is a bacterial pentameric ligand-gated ion channel whose action is inhibited by xenon. Xenon has been used in clinical practice as a potent gaseous anaesthetic for decades, but the molecular mechanism of interactions with its integral ...

A magnetically-driven piston pump for ultra-clean applications
A magnetically driven piston pump for xenon gas recirculation is presented. The pump is designed to satisfy extreme purity and containment requirements, as is appropriate for the recirculation of isotopically enriched xenon through the purification ...

Direct comparison of high voltage breakdown measurements in liquid argon and liquid xenon [PDF]
As noble liquid time projection chambers grow in size their high voltage requirements increase, and detailed, reproducible studies of dielectric breakdown and the onset of electroluminescence are needed to inform their design.
