Article Synopsis
- Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a serious condition that significantly impacts prognosis, and this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of various treatments available for it.
- The research reviewed 14 randomized controlled trials involving 1,047 patients, focusing on key outcomes like exercise capacity (6-minute walk distance) and pulmonary pressures.
- Findings indicated that treatments such as balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) and pulmonary artery dilatation with nitroglycerin (PADN) were the most effective, improving exercise capacity and pulmonary function while reducing side effects and mortality rates.
Large-scale, high-quality growth of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) of controlled thickness is paramount for many applications in opto- and microelectronics. This paper describes the direct growth of well-controlled large area molybdenum disulfide (MoS) on Si/SiO substrates by direct liquid injection pulsed-pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (DLI-PP-MOCVD) using low-toxicity precursors. It is shown that control of the deposited thickness can be achieved by carefully tuning the amount of molybdenum precursor evaporated and that continuous layers are routinely obtained.

The lack of consensus in the literature and the diverse techniques available have prompted the need for a comprehensive evaluation to guide surgeons in selecting the most optimal appendiceal stump closure method.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted on multiple databases from inception until December 2023 to find relevant studies according to eligibility criteria.
Bilateral asymmetric hip fracture dislocation is an extremely rare entity. The injury is caused by a high velocity mechanism. We reported a case of bilateral hip fracture dislocation and its management.

The primary purpose of this work is to determine via Raman spectroscopy the average thickness of MoS thin films synthesized by direct liquid injection pulsed-pressure chemical vapor deposition (DLI-PP-CVD). Such samples are constituted of nanoflakes (with a lateral size of typically 50 nm, i.
