The Selective Metallization Technique shows promise for roll-to-roll in-line patterning of flexible electronics using evaporated metals, but challenges arise when applied to sputtering functional materials. This study overcomes these challenges with simultaneous sputtering of Bi-Sb-Te and evaporation of metal (Ag or Cu) for thermoelectric layers when using Selective Metallization Technique. Large-scale manufacturing is demonstrated through roll-to-roll processing of a 0.

Introduction: The quality of the early child-caregiver relationship plays a crucial role in shaping a child's development. In response to the lack of early intervention provisions for 2-5 year olds, the Leeds Infant Mental Health Service increased their offer to support children up to their fifth birthday (and their caregivers), where relational difficulties impact upon the child's emotional wellbeing.

Aims: This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the direct therapeutic work (named 'Understanding Your Toddler'; UYT), in promoting the child-caregiver relationship.

Zero echo time (ZTE) imaging is a relatively new magnetic resonance (MR) pulse sequence that provides bone-soft tissue contrast similar to that of computed tomography (CT). We sought to (1) determine the accuracy of ZTE MRI for the diagnosis of common ankle fractures and (2) investigate whether ZTE imaging sequences are equivalent to the gold standard of CT for the characterization of fracture fragments. We conducted a prospective case series of 54 patients with acute ankle trauma, in whom ZTE MRI was performed, followed by surgical reduction.

Article Synopsis
  • Anemia is common in patients with peripheral vascular disease and can lead to serious complications and increased mortality after surgeries; transfusions, while sometimes necessary, are linked to their own risks, including infections and heart issues.
  • This study analyzed data from the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative to determine how blood transfusions affect major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and major adverse limb events (MALE) in patients undergoing lower extremity bypass operations between 2003 and 2020.
  • Results showed that patients with more severe anemia had higher rates of MACE and MALE, and the study evaluated the outcomes based on whether or not those patients received blood transfusions. *
