Unraveling the Mechanism of Alkali Metal Fluoride Post-Treatment of SnO for Efficient Planar Perovskite Solar Cells.

The facile synthesis and beneficial properties of tin oxide have driven the development of efficient planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs). To increase the PSC performance, alkali salts are used to treat the SnO surface to minimize the defect states. However, the underlying mechanism of alkali cations' role in the PSCs needs further exploration.

A Phase II Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Efficacy and Safety Study of SPN-812 (Extended-Release Viloxazine) in Children With ADHD.

The objective of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of SPN-812 (extended-release viloxazine) for ADHD in children aged 6 to 12 years. In an 8-week study, 222 participants were randomized to placebo or SPN-812 100, 200, 300, or 400 mg/day. Measurements included ADHD Rating Scale (RS)-IV total score and Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) and Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) scores.

The challenge of long waiting lists: how we implemented a GP referral system for non-urgent specialist' appointments at an Australian public hospital.

OUR PROBLEM: The length of wait lists to access specialist clinics in the public system is problematic for Queensland Health, general practitioners and patients. To address this issue at The Townsville Hospital, the GP Liaison Officer, GPs and hospital staff including specialists, collaborated to develop a process to review patients waiting longer than two years. GPs frequently send referrals to public hospital specialist clinics.

Characterization and chromosomal localization of PTPRO, a novel receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase, expressed in hematopoietic stem cells.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) support blood cells throughout life by utilizing their self-renewing and multilineage differentiating capabilities. Hematopoietic growth factors mediate their effects on stem cells by the tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins. Regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation is partially mediated by protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases).
