TL;DR: Treatment with interferon gamma-1b did not improve survival for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which refutes previous findings from subgroup analyses of survival in studies of patients with mild-to-moderate physiological impairment of pulmonary function.

TL;DR: Early, goal-directed mobilisation improved patient mobilisation throughout S ICU admission, shortened patient length of stay in the SICU, and improved patients' functional mobility at hospital discharge.

TL;DR: A brief introduction to the pathology and pathogenesis of SARS‐CoV and MERS‐ coV is provided and extrapolate this knowledge to the newly identified 2019‐nCoV.
Abstract: First reported from Wuhan, The People's Republic of China, on 31 December 2019, the ongoing outbreak of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) causes great global concerns. Based on the advice of the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee and the fact that to date 24 other countries also reported cases, the WHO Director-General declared that the outbreak of 2019-nCoV constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020. Together with the other two highly pathogenic coronaviruses, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), 2019-nCov and other yet to be identified coronaviruses pose a global threat to public health. In this mini-review, we provide a brief introduction to the pathology and pathogenesis of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV and extrapolate this knowledge to the newly identified 2019-nCoV.

TL;DR: Non-fullerene acceptors with optimized energy levels enable 10% efficient solar cells with reduced voltage losses <0.6 V.
Abstract: Optimization of the energy levels at the donor–acceptor interface of organic solar cells has driven their efficiencies to above 10%. However, further improvements towards efficiencies comparable with inorganic solar cells remain challenging because of high recombination losses, which empirically limit the open-circuit voltage (Voc) to typically less than 1 V. Here we show that this empirical limit can be overcome using non-fullerene acceptors blended with the low band gap polymer PffBT4T-2DT leading to efficiencies approaching 10% (9.95%). We achieve Voc up to 1.12 V, which corresponds to a loss of only Eg/q − Voc = 0.5 ± 0.01 V between the optical bandgap Eg of the polymer and Voc. This high Voc is shown to be associated with the achievement of remarkably low non-geminate and non-radiative recombination losses in these devices. Suppression of non-radiative recombination implies high external electroluminescence quantum efficiencies which are orders of magnitude higher than those of equivalent devices employing fullerene acceptors. Using the balance between reduced recombination losses and good photocurrent generation efficiencies achieved experimentally as a baseline for simulations of the efficiency potential of organic solar cells, we estimate that efficiencies of up to 20% are achievable if band gaps and fill factors are further optimized.

TL;DR: This paper reviews the major cellular sources of spontaneous DSB and the different homologous and illegitimate recombination repair pathways, with particular focus on their potential to induce chromosomal aberrations.
Abstract: DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) are considered to be critical primary lesions in the formation of chromosomal aberrations. DSB may be induced by exogenous agents, such as ionizing radiation, but also occur spontaneously during cellular processes at quite significant frequencies. To repair this potentially lethal damage, eukaryotic cells have evolved a variety of repair pathways related to homologous and illegitimate recombination, also called non-homologous DNA end joining, which may induce small scale mutations and chromosomal aberrations. In this paper we review the major cellular sources of spontaneous DSB and the different homologous and illegitimate recombination repair pathways, with particular focus on their potential to induce chromosomal aberrations.
