TL;DR: In this article, the structural and optical properties of CdTe thin films were investigated at different annealing temperatures from 200 to 500°C, and the authors concluded that films annealed at 400°C can be the best films for photovoltaic applications.

TL;DR: Sri Lankan Russell’s viper envenoming causes mild neuromuscular dysfunction with no long-term effects, and Indian polyvalent antivenom effectively binds free venom in blood but does not reverse neurotoxicity.
Abstract: Context: Russell’s viper is more medically important than any other Asian snake, due to number of envenoming’s and fatalities. Russell’s viper populations in South India and Sri Lanka (Daboia russelii) cause unique neuromuscular paralysis not seen in other Russell’s vipers. Objective: To investigate the time course and severity of neuromuscular dysfunction in definite Russell’s viper bites, including antivenom response. Methodology: We prospectively enrolled all patients (>16 years) presenting with Russell’s viper bites over 14 months. Cases were confirmed by snake identification and/or enzyme immunoassay. All patients had serial neurological examinations and in some, single fibre electromyography (sfEMG) of the orbicularis oculi was performed. Results: 245 definite Russell’s viper bite patients (median age: 41 years; 171 males) presented a median 2.5 h (interquartile range: 1.75–4.0 h) post-bite. All but one had local envenoming and 199 (78%) had systemic envenoming: coagulopathy in 166 (68%), ne...
