Sequential addition of cations increases photoluminescence quantum yield of metal nanoclusters near unity.

Photoluminescence is one of the most intriguing properties of metal nanoclusters derived from their molecular-like electronic structure, however, achieving high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of metal core-dictated fluorescence remains a formidable challenge. Here, we report efficient suppression of the total structural vibrations and rotations, and management of the pathways and rates of the electron transfer dynamics to boost a near-unity absolute PLQY, by decorating progressive addition of cations. Specifically, with the sequential addition of Zn, Ag, and Tb into the 3-mercaptopropionic acids capped Au nanoclusters (NCs), the low-frequency vibration of the metal core progressively decreases from 144.

Preexisting opioid daily MME and use duration within a national cohort of lumbar spine surgery patients on quality outcomes.

Objective: Pain management surrounding lumbar spine surgery is a complex topic. Though some authors suggest that preoperative opioid use is a negative prognostic factor, its association with patient-reported outcomes and satisfaction after surgery remains controversial. We aimed to uncover the effect of preoperative opioid use on long-term outcomes using a national sample.

ATAD1 Regulates Neuronal Development and Synapse Formation Through Tuning Mitochondrial Function.

Mitochondrial function is essential for synaptic function. ATAD1, an AAA+ protease involved in mitochondrial quality control, governs fission-fusion dynamics within the organelle. However, the distribution and functional role of ATAD1 in neurons remain poorly understood.

Effect of a Nurse-Led Support Program Using Mobile Application Versus Nurse Phone Advice on Patients at Risk of Coronary Artery Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major health problem of atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease and early intervention is regarded important. Given the proven effect of a lifestyle intervention with nursing telephone counselling and mHealth use in health care, yet the comparisons of both support are lacking, this study is proposed.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effects of a coronary artery disease (CAD) support program using a mobile application versus nurse phone advice on exercise amount and physical and psychological outcomes for clients at risk of CAD.

Detection and characterisation of high pathogenicity avian influenza virus (H5N1/H5N8) clade 2.3.4.4b, Hong Kong SAR, China, 2021 to 2024.

We isolated three genotypes of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) clade 2.3.4.
