Mosquito-borne West Nile virus (WNV) infection is benign in most individuals but can cause encephalitis <1% of infected individuals. We show that ∼35% patients hospitalized for WNV disease (WNVD) six independent cohorts from the EU and USA carry auto-Abs neutralizing IFN-α and/or -ω. The prevalence these antibodies highest with (∼40%), silent as low general population. odds ratios WNVD relative to those without them population range 19.0 (95% CI 15.0–24.0, P value <10–15) only...

We present the first detailed experimental observation and analysis of nanoparticle electrophoresis through a nanochannel obtained with synchronous high-bandwidth electrical camera recordings. Optically determined particle diffusion coefficients agree values extracted from fitting transport measurements to distributions 1D Fokker–Planck diffusion-drift theory. This combined tracking strategy enables optical recognition characterization nanoparticles in solution, which can have broad range...

The increasing global energy demand has stimulated great recent efforts in investigating new solutions for artificial photosynthesis, a potential source of clean and renewable solar fuel. In particular, according to the generally accepted modular approach aimed at optimising separately different compartments entire process, many studies have focused on development catalytic systems water oxidation oxygen. While years there been reports systems, mechanism active intermediates operating...

Abstract Two novel di(N‐heterocyclic carbene) complexes of formula (μ‐PyrIm‐CH 2 ‐ImPyr)[IrCp*Cl] (PF 6 ) ( 1 and μ‐MeIm‐CH p ‐C H )CH ‐ImMe[IrCp*Cl] (Im = imidazol‐2‐ylidene) have been synthesised by transmetallation the dicarbene ligand from corresponding silver complex, using [IrCp*(μ‐Cl)Cl] as an iridium precursor. The structure complex has determined X‐ray diffraction is characterized a double ortho ‐metallation ‐xylylene bridge between carbene units. Both show good activity in transfer...

Clinical effectiveness of botulinum toxin (BTX) in the treatment both neurogenic and idiopathic detrusor overactivity has been demonstrated several studies. However, different protocols techniques have used by authors. Methods. Literature review on intradetrusor injection BTX for overactivity. Results. The greatest clinical experience reports use 200 300 U Botox®. Available data suggest that efficacy, duration, side effect profile is similar at these doses. Very few data, other hand, are...

Normal and abnormal bladder contractions are principally mediated by acetylcholine released from postganglionic parasympathetic nerves. Since amikacin was reported to affect neurotransmission a prejunctional mechanism, we investigated the effect of on isolated detrusor smooth muscle contraction further evaluate its potential relaxant properties.Detrusor obtained 15 rats 8 patients undergoing surgery were studied through measurement isometric muscular induced with electrical field stimulation...
