Secular trends in dietary energy, carbohydrate, protein and fat intake among Korean children and adolescents.

Objective: We aimed to analyse the evolving trends in macronutrient intake and dietary composition among Korean children and adolescents over a 10-year period.

Design: We utilised cross-sectional data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) spanning the years 2010-2020. Overall, the study included 11 861 participants aged 6-18 years who completed the 24-h dietary recall survey.

Biocompatible Co-organic Composite Thin Film Deposited by VHF Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition at a Low Temperature.

Although metal-organic thin films are required for many biorelated applications, traditional deposition methods have proven challenging in preparing these composite materials. Here, a Co-organic composite thin film was prepared by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) with cobaltocene (Co(Cp)) on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), using two very high frequency (VHF) NH plasmas (60 and 100 MHz), for use as a tissue culture scaffold. VHF PEALD was employed to reduce the temperature and control the thickness and composition.

Augmented Decision-Making in wound Care: Evaluating the clinical utility of a Deep-Learning model for pressure injury staging.

Background: Precise categorization of pressure injury (PI) stages is critical in determining the appropriate treatment for wound care. However, the expertise necessary for PI staging is frequently unavailable in residential care settings.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for classifying PIs and investigate whether its implementation can allow physicians to make better decisions for PI staging.

Association among Premenstrual Syndrome, Dietary Patterns, and Adherence to Mediterranean Diet.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) adversely affects the physiological and psychological health and quality of life of women. Mediterranean diet (MD) could be helpful for managing and preventing PMS, but evidence on the association between dietary patterns and PMS in Asian women is limited. This study aimed to investigate the association of dietary patterns and adherence to MD with PMS in Korean women.

Highly oxidation-resistant silver nanowires by C F polymers using plasma treatment.

We demonstrate plasma-treated Ag nanowires (NWs) as flexible transparent electrode materials with enhanced long-term stability against oxidation even in a high humidity environment (80% humidity, 20 °C). Through a simple fluorocarbon (CF or CF) plasma treatment method, a C F protective polymer was sufficiently cross-linked and attached on the surface of the AgNWs strongly and uniformly. Even though CF and CF activate differently on the AgNW surface due to the different dissociated radicals formed in the plasma, it was found that the C F protective polymers obtained by both chemicals work similarly as a protective layer for transparent conductive electrodes; a nearly constant sheet resistance ratio (R /R ) of 1.

Fabrication of high-performance graphene nanoplatelet-based transparent electrodes via self-interlayer-exfoliation control.

Graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) have attracted considerable attention due to their high yield and fabrication route that is scalable to enable graphene production. However, the absence of a means of fabricating a transparent and conductive GNP film has been the biggest obstacle to the replacement of pristine graphene. Here, we report on a novel means of fabricating uniform and thin GNP-based high-performance transparent electrodes for flexible and stretchable optoelectronic devices involving the use of an adhesive polymer layer (PMMA) as a GNP layer controller and by forming a hybrid GNP/AgNW electrode embedded on PET or PDMS.
