Ion-Induced Phase Changes in 2D MoTe Films for Neuromorphic Synaptic Device Applications.

Two-dimensional molybdenum ditelluride (2D MoTe) is an interesting material for artificial synapses due to its unique electronic properties and phase tunability in different polymorphs 2H/1T'. However, the growth of stable and large-scale 2D MoTe on a CMOS-compatible Si/SiO substrate remains challenging because of the high growth temperature and impurity-involved transfer process. We developed a large-scale MoTe film on a Si/SiO wafer by simple sputtering followed by lithium-ion intercalation and applied it to artificial synaptic devices.

Enhanced Tolerability and Improved Outcomes in Acne Management: A Real-World Study of Dermocosmetic Adjunctive Therapy.

Background: Topical retinoids, while renowned for their efficacy in treating acne vulgaris, are often hampered by inter-individual variability in tolerability. This challenge, primarily driven by side effects like erythema, scaling, and dryness, significantly impacts patient adherence and, ultimately, treatment outcomes.

Aims: This prospective, multi-center, observational study investigated the novel role of a specific dermocosmetic regimen as adjunctive therapy, focusing on its ability to mitigate retinoid-induced side effects and enhance the overall tolerability of acne treatment regimens in a Korean population.

Clinical evaluation of usefulness and effectiveness of sitting-type continuous passive motion machines in patients with total knee arthroplasty: a dual-center randomized controlled trial.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a treatment option for osteoarthritis of the knee. After undergoing TKA, patients can be treated with continuous passive motion (CPM); however, inconsistent results have been reported on the effectiveness of CPM as part of a rehabilitation strategy. This discrepancy may be due to the difference between the set-arc of CPM and real arcs of knee motion.

Using National IVF Registries to Validate Clinical Outcomes Following IVF Covered by Health Insurance.

Objective: To evaluate in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles covered by health insurance using a national commercial claims database and to validate key clinical events against national IVF registries.

Design: Retrospective cohort study SUBJECTS: US women aged 20-44 who underwent IVF from 2005 to 2020 in Optum's de-identified Clinformatics® Data Mart Database (CDM).

Exposure: Undergoing IVF MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: IVF cycles and rates of pregnancies (inclusive of losses and terminations), live births, and live birth types (e.
