Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a commonly used and effective treatment option for nonmelanoma skin cancer. Apart from local side-effects such as pain, oedema and erythema, no major adverse events occur in the majority of cases. Here we report on five patients who developed memory deficits such as transient global amnes…

Abstract Recent work has shown that aerial diatoms are a useful ecological tracer of hydrological connectivity in the hillslope–riparian zone–stream (HRS) system. While such work has improved both our understanding of catchment functioning and aerial diatom taxonomy, assemblages and distribution, further work is hampe…

We assessed the photoluminescence performance characteristics of Mn 4+ -doped tetragermanate and silicogermanate phases with a benitoite-type structure. We observed a visible red emission based on the 2 E → 4 A 2 transition in the doped benitoite-type tetragermanate. The partial substitution of Si for Ge, resulting in…

Abstract The identification of a new class of luminogens based on pyrrolo‐quinoxaline embedded coumarin (PQC) structures is reported. The reaction relies on the gold‐catalyzed hydroarylation reaction of appropriately substituted aryl alkynoates that produces molecules that exhibit solvatochromism and aggregation‐induc…
