    Abstract: This disclosure provides a preserving composition comprising a cholesterol: carrier complex, optionally a cholesterol:cyclodextrin complex (CC complex) and/or a cell permeable antioxidant peptide and a biological buffer and optionally a cryprotectant, wherein the preserving composition is optionally substantially free of animal phospholipid, animal protein and/or animal lipoprotein. The disclosure also provides methods for the use of the preserving composition in cryopreservation of semen or sperm cells. Also provided is a kit comprising the preserving composition having a CC complex, a biological buffer, a cryoprotectant, a carbohydrate, a pH stabilizer, an antibiotic or antibiotic cocktail and/or a cell permeable anti-oxidant peptide.

    Abstract: The present application relates to a method of increasing the volume of an airway surface liquid (ASL) layer and/or increasing mucociliary clearance in a subject. For example, the application relates the use of one or more neuronal agonists such as menthol and/or capsaicin, in combination with hypertonic saline (HTS) or isotonic saline (ITS) for increasing the volume of airway surface liquid (ASL) and/or increasing mucociliary clearance or for treatment of a disease, disorder or condition treatable by increasing the volume of an ASL layer and/or increasing mucociliary clearance. For example, the disease, disorder or condition is cystic fibrosis or a non-cystic fibrosis respiratory disease, disorder or condition such as non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.

    Abstract: A X-ray source, comprising a laser, of a pulse duration of at most 40 fs, instantaneous power of at least about 80TW, a pulse repetition rate of at least 1 Hz; an optical compressor spectrally shaping the laser beam; focusing optics in the range between f#10 and f#15; and a gas target of electron density after ionization by the laser beam in a range between 1018 cm3 and 1019 cm−3; wherein the focusing optics focuses the laser beam in the gas target, and interaction of the focused laser beam with the gas target generates an X-ray beam, with a focused laser amplitude a0, given by a0=0.855 [IL (1018W/cm2)λL,2 (μm)]1/2, where IL is the on-target laser intensity and λL is the laser wavelength, of at least 2 and a P/Pc ratio value of at least 20, with P being the beam power and Pc a critical power given by Pc=17 (nc/n) GW where n is the electron density and nc is a critical electron density at which the plasma acts as a mirror reflecting the laser beam.
