An intrinsic temporal dimension of DNA: the new concept of time-island by Giovanni Villani

“…In particular, the conditions were sought so that a perturbation, in addition to moving in a coherent and complete manner, remained enclosed within a DNA fragment for a life time similar to those of biological interest of hundreds of picoseconds or in the time scale of nanoseconds. The conditions of closure of these pieces of DNA and the conditions of prolongation of the life time of the perturbation have allowed us to introduce the concept of time-island for the base-pairs sequences with these characteristics. …”

Host plants selection of Centranthera grandiflora Benth. and nontargeted metabolomics analysis of its parasitic and non-parasitic samples. by Song Jin, Yuchuan Li, Jun Ni, Haili Xie, Falin Lei, He Liu

“…The results showed that Cyperus iria L. was the best host for C. grandiflora, and when they were mixed sowed, C. grandiflora had a vigorous growth above ground and the haustoria connected obviously below ground, while C. grandiflora could achieve blossoming and fruiting in the same year. Next, nontargeted metabonomics analysis methods were utilized to clarify the differences in metabolites between parasitized and non-parasitized C. grandiflora. …”

Neurocranial Pharmacodialysis Device for subarachnoid hemorrhage treatment—a perspective by Nandor Ludvig

“…The RESULTS showed the following four facts: (1) high-grade SAH requiring decompressive craniectomy readily offers, as the last step of the neurosurgical procedure, the safe closure of the opened cranium with the NPD while leaving the efficacy of the decompressive intervention intact. (2) The neurocranially attached NPD can automatically execute, as long as it is necessary, subarachnoid polypharmacy to prevent post-SAH vasospasm, reduce the risk of rebleeding, and provide neuroprotection in delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), bypassing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via connected subarachnoid strips. (3) These effects of drug delivery can be optimized with NPD-controlled long-term cleaning of the CSF and drainage of cellular debris, hydrocephalus, and interstitial edema accompanied by the subarachnoid dialysis of potentially neurotoxic extracellular molecules. (4) Safety and efficacy of these NPD operations are monitored, and possible epileptiform EEG is detected, via the wireless EEG system of the device. …”
