In gas sensing, optical sensors are often used to detect gases such as CO, NO<jats:italic><jats:sub>x</jats:sub></jats:italic>, and O<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>. Oxygen sensors typically incorporate dyes into oxygen‐permeable matrices like polymers, silica, or zeolites. Alternatively, semiconductor surface chemistry can enable O<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> detection. However, these approaches are often limited by slow response and recovery times and low selectivity, restricting their practical applications. The metal‐organic framework MOF‐76(Eu) and its yttrium‐modified variant, MOF‐76(Eu/Y) are reported to exhibit highly reversible and fast optical responses to varying O<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> concentrations. Time‐resolved emission measurements are performed over short (seconds) and long (hours) timescales using N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> and synthetic air mixtures. Cross‐sensitivity to humidity is analyzed. Multichannel scaling photon‐counting experiments confirm quenching at the linker level, as the emission lifetime remains nearly constant. Yttrium significantly improves stability and performance at room temperature. Structural and optical changes induced by yttrium are investigated. Additionally, MIL‐78(Eu), another Eu‐BTC‐based MOF with a different coordination environment, is synthesized. Unlike MOF‐76(Eu), MIL‐78(Eu) exhibits distinct optical properties but lacks a reversible response to O<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>.

To increase excited state lifetimes of iron complexes, the multichromophoric approach is promising, combining organic chromophores with photoactive iron complexes, potentially enabling a reservoir effect. We present a series of chromophore-functionalized complexes based on the parental FeIII complex [Fe(ImP)2][PF6] (HImP = 1,1′-(1,3-phenylene)bis(3-methyl-1-imidazole-2-ylidene)). The four organic chromophores benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, and pyrene are attached to the ImP-ligand in para-position to the coordination site to systematically investigate the influence of the steric demand and electronic properties of the chromophore on charge transfer lifetimes as well as photodynamics. A thorough ground state characterization was conducted in addition to investigations of the excited state dynamics by transient absorption spectroscopy and streak camera emission measurements. The conclusions drawn are supported by extensive DFT calculations. The emission coefficients could be significantly improved by the addition of chromophores. After excitation of the complexes with larger chromophores, coplanarization of the backbone and complex motif occurs to stabilize the formal charge. This results in population of a superligand state that exhibits a much faster radiationless relaxation to the ground state compared to the parent complex, hindering a reservoir effect.}},

The influence of the strong donor ligand on the ground and excited-state photophysical properties was investigated in the context of different alkyl substituents at the imidazole nitrogen. X-ray diffraction revealed no significant alterations of the structures and all differences in the series emerge from the electronic structures. These were probed via cyclic voltammetry and UV–vis spectroscopy, detailing the influence of the different alkyl substituents on the ground-state properties. All complexes are emissive at 77 K from a 3MC state, which exhibits lifetimes in the range of 1–5 ns at room temperature, depending on the alkyl substituent. Therefore, it is clearly shown that even small differences in the electronic structure have a large impact on the details of the excited state landscape. The observed behavior was rationalized by a detailed DFT analysis, which shows that the minimum-energy crossing point to the ground-state is located only slightly above the MC energy: Consequently, nonradiative decay to the ground state at room temperature is enabled, while at 77 K this path is prohibited, leading to low-temperature 3MC emission.}},

  abstract     = {{<jats:p>The specific binding of DNA origami nanostructures (DONs) to bacteria is an important prerequisite for their application in pathogen targeting and antimicrobial drug delivery. So far, targeting bacteria with DONs has been achieved exclusively via aptamers, which suffer from drawbacks such as sensitivity toward environmental conditions and reduced binding after immobilization or conjugation. Here, an alternative approach is presented based on the modification of DONs with the cell wall‐binding glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin. Using strain‐promoted azide‐alkyne cycloaddition, azide‐modified vancomycin is conjugated to selected staple strands and subsequently incorporated into 2D DON triangles. The resulting constructs show specific binding to the Gram‐positive species <jats:italic>Bacillus subtilis</jats:italic> (<jats:italic>B. subtilis</jats:italic>) and <jats:italic>Staphylococcus capitis</jats:italic> (<jats:italic>S. capitis</jats:italic>), and remarkably, to Gram‐negative <jats:italic>Escherichia coli</jats:italic> (<jats:italic>E. coli</jats:italic>), but no antimicrobial activity at vancomycin concentrations up to at least 2.91 μM. For <jats:italic>B. subtilis</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>E. coli</jats:italic>, DONs with vancomycin modifications on both sides exhibit better binding than DONs modified on only one side. However, both variants bind equally well to <jats:italic>S. capitis</jats:italic>. These results demonstrate the great potential of small molecule drug compounds for the robust, broad‐spectrum targeting of bacteria with DONs. Targeting a ubiquitous cell wall component of most pathogenic bacteria, vancomycin‐modified DONs have many potential applications in the prevention and treatment of nosocomial infections.</jats:p>}},

          <jats:p>The benefits of physical activity are undisputed. However, adverse events can occur in rare cases, particularly during high-intensity or prolonged exercise. During physical activity, at-risk patients can experience major cardiac events, whereas adverse events affecting the musculoskeletal system are more common but less severe. A sports preparticipation evaluation (PPE) for apparently healthy adults is designed to detect at-risk individuals and prevent potentially fatal events. This guideline for conducting PPEs was developed by consensus among 16 medical societies and sports associations and is based on previously published guidelines and consensus papers. Sports medicine physicians and potential participants were also surveyed to assess the recommendations’ content, feasibility, and implementation. On the basis of the 20 recommendations developed and agreed upon by the abovementioned entities, PPE comprises individuals’ personal, family, and sports histories, as well as a physical examination. The need for additional examinations (e.g., laboratory parameters, echocardiograms, or stress tests) is determined on the basis of the PPE findings. This approach’s feasibility in various regions, including resource-limited settings, and the extent to which it prevents adverse or potentially fatal events, should be examined in future research.</jats:p>}},

            <jats:p>Repetitive head impacts due to heading in soccer may bear the potential to induce brain changes. To investigate how brain development is affected by heading, effects of heading exposure on neurocognitive and vestibular performance in adolescent soccer players were prospectively examined.</jats:p>
          </jats:sec>
          <jats:sec>
            <jats:title>Methods</jats:title>
            <jats:p>In this longitudinal cohort study, male and female high-level youth soccer players of different ages were enrolled in two seasons. Age-matched athletes of other ball sports were included as controls. Before and after each season, neurocognitive performance (6 domain scores), vestibulo-ocular reflex, dynamic visual acuity, and postural control (sway velocity) were objectively assessed in all athletes. Every soccer training and match during the observation period was videotaped to analyze individual heading exposure. Associations between heading frequency (total, in duels, &gt;20 m flight distance) and pre- to post-changes were investigated via Spearman correlation.</jats:p>
          </jats:sec>
          <jats:sec>
            <jats:title>Results</jats:title>
            <jats:p>103 soccer and 51 control athletes (9-19 years) participated. Neurocognitive scores and sway velocity significantly improved in each season in soccer and control athletes. There were no associations between total heading numbers and changes in any parameter. Over the first season, the more headers played in duels (r = -0.255, 95%CI = -0.474 to -0.006, p = 0.04) and from &gt;20 m distance (r = -0.299, 95%CI = -0.510 to -0.055, p = 0.02) the less psychomotor speed improvement occurred. In the second season, improvements in reaction time were significantly smaller with higher numbers of headers played in duels (r = 0.375, 95%CI = 0.043 to 0.632, p = 0.02) and from &gt;20 m distance (r = 0.359, 95%CI = 0.025 to 0.621, p = 0.03).</jats:p>
          </jats:sec>
          <jats:sec>
            <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title>
            <jats:p>Potential high-impact headers may have affected neurocognitive improvements, exhibiting small to moderate effects.

            <jats:title>Background</jats:title>
            <jats:p>Parkinson’s Disease (PD) bears a variety of sex differences and is associated with cardiovascular dysregulation (CDR). Variation in the routinely assessed standard parameters heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) seem not well understood within the frame of sex-specific developments under therapy. Parameters of heart rate variability (RMSSD) and electrodermal activity (meanEDA) may assist the understanding of underlying autonomic developments. This pilot study aims to describe sex-specific cardiovascular and autonomic responses to a multimodal inpatient rehabilitation program in patients with PD.</jats:p>

            <jats:title>Methods</jats:title>
            <jats:p>Forty-one PD patients (24 male, 17 female) participated in a stationary, multimodal therapy intervention (MTI). Before and after MTI, HR, BP, RMSSD, and meanEDA were assessed in supine baseline (5 min of rest before orthostasis) and during supine adaption to rest (5 min of rest after orthostasis). Differences between baseline and adaption to rest as well as differences over time of MTI were calculated using Wilcoxon test; sex differences using Mann–Whitney-U test.</jats:p>

            <jats:title>Results</jats:title>
            <jats:p>Before MTI, women’s supine HR (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = .034*; d = .17) and BP (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = .015*, d = 0.4) were significantly higher during adaption to rest than during baseline. After MTI, women’s supine HR (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = .020*; d = .84) and BP (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = .022*, d = 0.5) during adaption to rest had decreased significantly. Men’s HR and BP remained constant and without differences between the supine conditions. RMSSD and meanEDA remained steady in both sexes.</jats:p>

          <jats:sec>
            <jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title>
            <jats:p>The sex-specific responsiveness to MTI supports the concept of sex-sensitive therapeutic management for cardiovascular symptoms in PD. In both sexes, peripheral cardiovascular outcomes appeared not attributable to corresponding outcomes in autonomic regulation. Further examination of autonomic parameters could provide a foundation for developing therapeutic approaches that address central nervous system mechanisms.</jats:p>
