Organic electrochemical transistors printed from degradable materials as disposable biochemical sensors

Danick Briand, Nicolas Francis Fumeaux, Silvia Demuru, Claudio Pinto Almeida

Transient electronics hold promise in reducing electronic waste, especially in applications that require only a limited lifetime. While various degradable electronic and physical sensing devices have been proposed, there is growing interest in the developm ...

Electrochemical determination of nicotine in smokers' sweat

Sandro Carrara, Tugba Kilic, Eda Mehmeti

In this work, we report the demonstration of the capability of electrochemical sensors to provide measurements directly on the sweat of volunteers to successfully discriminate heavy smokers by light ones. Since its importance as pharmaceutical treatment-ag ...

Increased Myeloid Cell Production and Lung Bacterial Clearance in Mice Exposed to Cigarette Smoke

Alessandra Piersigilli

Pneumonia is a leading cause of hospitalization in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although most patients with COPD are smokers, the effects of cigarette smoke exposure on clearance of lung bacterial pathogens and on immune and ...

NANO-TERA.CH: Electronic Technology for Health Management

Giovanni De Micheli

The Swiss Nano-Tera.ch program addresses – among others – issues at the intersection of engineering and medical domains. Specifically, electronic-health (or E-Health) is a broad area of engineering that leverages transducer, circuit and systems technologie ...

Does chronic nicotine consumption influence visual backward masking in schizophrenia and schizotypy?

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Christine Mohr, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Nicotine consumption is higher for people within the schizophrenia spectrum compared to controls. This observation supports the self-medication hypothesis, that nicotine relives symptoms in, for example, schizophrenia patients. We tested whether performanc ...

Visual backward masking deficits in schizotypy are observed in late but not early onset nicotine smokers

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a potential endophenotype for schizophrenia. Relative VBM deficits were also observed in high as compared to low scorers in one schizotypal subdimension (cognitive disorganisation, CogDis; Cappe et al., 2012). VBM deficits ...

Small effects of smoking on visual spatiotemporal processing

Michael Herzog

Nicotine is an important stimulant that is involved in modulating many neuronal processes, including those related to vision. Nicotine is also thought to play a key role in schizophrenia: A genetic variation of the cholinergic nicotine receptor gene, alpha ...

Charge ordering in substituted and non-stoichiometric BaVS3

Helmuth Berger, László Forró, Ana Akrap

Among the correlated electronic systems, BaVS3 which exhibits both itinerant and localized states as well as a subtle interplay betwen charge, orbital, spin and lattice degrees of freedom, is a model system. Its electronic structure consists in a broad qua ...

Electronic origin of the isostructural decomposition in cubic M1-xAlxN (M=Ti, Cr, Sc, Hf): A first-principles study

Alireza Karimi

We have used first-principles calculations to investigate the mixing enthalpies, lattice parameters and electronic density of states of the ternary nitride systems Ti1-xAlxN, Cr1-xAlxN, Sc1-xAlxN and Hf1-xAlxN in the cubic B1 structure where the transition ...
