Discovering the Clinical and Prognostic Role of Pan-Immune-Inflammation Values on Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

A newly introduced pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) was not evaluated for its role in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In this study, the PIV was calculated with the following equation (neutrophil count × platelet count × monocyte count)/lymphocyte count from the results of the automated hematology analyzers in 853 OSCC patients from 2005 to 2017. The optimal cutoff for the preoperative PIV was 268, as determined by a receiver operating characteristic curve.

Successful management of rocuronium-induced anaphylaxis with sugammadex: A case report.

Although anaphylaxis during anaesthesia is a rare event, neuromuscular blocking drugs are responsible for 62% of anaesthesia-related anaphylaxis. However, sugammadex, a modified gamma-cyclodextrin, can encapsulate rocuronium molecules and cause the rapid reversal of the neuromuscular blockade. A 68-year-old man who presented for a radical prostatectomy was induced with IV fentanyl/propofol/rocuronium.

Uncommon cause of voiding dysfunction in a female patient-vaginal abscess: A case report.

Background: Vaginal abscess is a treatable disease and should be considered in female patients with voiding difficulties and perineal tenderness. There are no reported cases of vaginal abscess causing voiding dysfunction in the absence of a previous surgery. Early diagnosis and drainage of vaginal abscesses may lead to excellent outcomes.

Luminescent Pt(II) complexes bearing dual isoquinolinyl pyrazolates: fundamentals and applications.

A series of four Pt(II) metal complexes with trans-arranged isoquinolinyl azolates have been prepared, [Pt(Lx)2], x = 1-4, (1-4). The associated chelates possess various substituents; namely: one t-butyl (Bu(t)) at the 6-position (L1), two Bu(t) groups at the 5,7-positions (L2), one dip (2,6-di-isopropylphenyl) group at the 6-position (L3), and a single dip group at the 4-position of the 1-isoquinolinyl fragment (L4), respectively. Crystal structures of 1 and 4 were determined to shed light on the relationship of photophysics and packing arrangements.

A novel randomly textured phosphor structure for highly efficient white light-emitting diodes.

We have successfully demonstrated the enhanced luminous flux and lumen efficiency in white light-emitting diodes by the randomly textured phosphor structure. The textured phosphor structure was fabricated by a simple imprinting technique, which does not need an expensive dry-etching machine or a complex patterned definition. The textured phosphor structure increases luminous flux by 5.

Patterned structure of remote phosphor for phosphor-converted white LEDs.

High efficiency white light-emitting diodes with superior color-mixing have been investigated. It is suggested that the patterned remote phosphor structure could improve the uniformity of angular-dependent correlated color temperature (CCT) and achieve high chromatic stability in wider operating current range, as compared to the conventional remote phosphor coating structure. In this experiment, we employed a pulse spray coating method to place the patterned phosphor on the package and to leave a window region.
