Whispering gallery mode (WGM) lasing in CsPbI quantum dots (QDs) coated on TiO spherical microcavities is demonstrated. The photoluminescence emission from a CsPbI-QDs gain medium strongly couples with a TiO microspherical resonating optical cavity. Spontaneous emission in these microcavities switches to a stimulated emission above a distinct threshold point of 708.

After 5 years, we report the clinical early outcomes and impact of the program.
Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective, matched, observational cohort study comparing outcomes of hearts transplanted from DCD donors from March 1, 2015 to February 29, 2020 with those from matched donation after brain death (DBD) donors at Royal Papworth Hospital (RPH) (Cambridge, UK).

Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic led to increased demand for ECMO, a therapy for severely ill patients, prompting a reorganization of staffing to include cardiac surgery consultants.
- Data was collected from mid-March to early May 2020, utilizing a web-based portal for patient referrals and allowing the retrieval team to assess and implement ECMO when necessary.
- During the study period, 41 ECMO retrievals were conducted successfully, highlighting the effectiveness of adaptive team composition and skills transfer in a crisis situation without complications during the process.
Background: Vasoplegia has been associated with inferior outcomes following heart transplantation (HTx). This observational study was designed to investigate outcomes in recipients with vasoplegia following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) explant HTx.
Methods: Patients undergoing LVAD explant followed by HTx from 01/2013-12/2018 at our centre were included.
