Proximity ferroelectricity is an interface-associated phenomenon in electric-field-driven polarization reversal in a non-ferroelectric polar material induced by one or more adjacent ferroelectric materials. Here we report proximity ferroelectricity in wurtzite ferroelectric heterostructures. In the present case, the non-ferroelectric layers are AlN and ZnO, whereas the ferroelectric layers are AlBN, AlScN and ZnMgO.

- This case report discusses a patient with a large abdominal aortic aneurysm and a horseshoe kidney, emphasizing the importance of thorough preoperative planning and teamwork among medical professionals.
- The patient presented with abdominal pain and imaging revealed an advanced aneurysm, which required the unusual step of autotransplanting the horseshoe kidney during surgery to ensure proper kidney function post-operation.
- The case highlights the critical need for careful imaging and planning in complex medical situations to reduce risks associated with aneurysm rupture and to enhance the patient's overall health and recovery.
Cryosectioning is known as a common and well-established histological method, due to its easy accessibility, speed, and cost efficiency. However, the creation of bone cryosections is especially difficult. In this study, a cryosectioning protocol for trabecular bone that offers a relatively cheap and undemanding alternative to paraffin or resin embedded sectioning was developed.

While there are psychological interventions able to prevent and treat MDD, uptake remains low. To overcome structural and attitudinal barriers, an indirect approach of using online insomnia interventions seems promising because insomnia is less stigmatized, predicts MDD onset, is often comorbid and can outlast MDD treatment.

Pharmacological interventions are not recommended to be the first-choice therapy. In general, a wide variance of non-pharmacological interventions is available, but no clearly suitable intervention can currently be specified.
