Article Abstract
Benzophenone (BP) despite its relatively simple molecular structure is a paradigmatic sensitizer, featuring both photocatalytic and photobiological effects due to its rather complex photophysical properties. In this contribution we report an original theoretical approach to model realistic, ultra-fast spectroscopy data, which requires describing intra- and intermolecular energy and structural relaxation. In particular we explicitly simulate time-resolved pump-probe spectra using a combination of state-of-the art hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics dynamics to treat relaxation and vibrational effects. The comparison with experimental transient absorption data demonstrates the efficiency and accuracy of our approach. Furthermore the explicit inclusion of the solvent, water for simulation and methanol for experiment, allows us, despite the inherent different behavior of the two, to underline the role played by the H-bonding relaxation in the first hundreds of femtoseconds after optical excitation. Finally we predict for the first time the two-dimensional electronic spectrum (2DES) of BP taking into account the vibrational effects and hence modelling partially symmetric and asymmetric ultrafast broadening.

Reverberation cues underlying virtual auditory distance perception for a frontal source.

This study investigated the potential role of temporal, spectral, and binaural room-induced cues for the perception of virtual auditory distance. Listeners judged the perceived distance of a frontal source simulated between 0.5 and 10 m in a room via headphones, with eyes closed in a soundproof booth.

Helicene-based circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials suffer from severely low color purity in circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs). Here, a novel molecular engineering strategy is introduced by replacing helicene containing continuous fused benzene rings with a multiple resonance (MR) framework comprising discontinuous fused benzene rings. This approach effectively suppresses high-frequency C─C bond stretching vibrations and enhances short-range charge transfer, enabling high color purity, CPL activity, and efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF).

Objective: The aim of this RCT was to analyse the relationship between intermittent vibratory forces and external apical root resorption (EARR) in patients treated with clear aligners, building on prior research on vibrational effects on biomarkers.
Materials And Methods: A parallel, three-arm randomised clinical trial included adults to be treated with clear aligners, randomly assigned by a computerised randomisation list to: Group A (vibration from treatment onset), Group B (vibration after 6 weeks), or Group C (no vibration). While patients and orthodontists were aware of group assignments, evaluators remained blinded.
Acoustic therapy for allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis: modulating microbiome, immunity and well-being.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are common respiratory conditions that significantly impact patient health and contribute to substantial healthcare burdens. While conventional treatments offer symptom relief, many patients continue to experience persistent symptoms, side effects, or resistance to standard therapies. This highlights the growing need for novel, non-invasive, and sustainable therapeutic strategies to manage chronic airway inflammation.

Objectives: Liver transplant has significantly improved the survival of patients with end-stage liver disease, yet long-term transplant recipients often face challenges related to graft function and well-being. We aimed to evaluate the clinical role of vibration-controlled transi-ent elastography for assessment of liver fibrosis and steatosis, with a focus on fibrosis and steatosis, in liver transplant recipients who were over 10 years posttrans-plant. In addition, we aimed to identify factors that influence liver function and quality of life in these patients.
