Spin-helical Dirac Fermions at a doped topological insulator's boundaries can support Majorana quasiparticles when coupled with -wave superconductors, but in -doped systems, the requisite induced Cooper pairing in topological states is often buried at heterointerfaces or complicated by degenerate coupling with bulk conduction carriers. Rarely probed are -doped topological structures with nondegenerate Dirac and bulk valence bands at the Fermi level, which may foster long-range superconductivity without sacrificing Majorana physics. Using ultrahigh-resolution photoemission, we report proximity pairing with a large decay length in -doped topological SbTe on superconducting Nb.

- Health problems can get worse quickly for people in hospitals, often seen through changes in vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure.
- * To help detect these changes early, doctors use a system called Early Warning Scores (EWS), specifically NEWS2, to keep track of patient health.
- * This study tested if wristband devices could automatically calculate the NEWS2 score even better than medical staff so that it could help keep patients safer.
Background: Impaired diastolic function is associated with a variety of diseases such as myocarditis or dilated cardiomyopathy. Currently, echocardiography is the standard method for assessing diastolic function. Recently, it has been postulated that cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is an at least equivalent or superior alternative to echocardiography.

Objective: To evaluate the association of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging-derived measurements with clinical outcomes in NIDCM.
Data Sources: MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science Core Collection databases were systematically searched for articles from January 2005 to April 2023.
Right ventricular (RV) strain offers crucial diagnostic insights in cardiovascular and pulmonary disorders. Nonetheless, the absence of established reference values impedes its clinical implementation. Utilizing CMR-feature tracking, age- and gender-dependent RV strains were systematically assessed in 175 heart-healthy Caucasians, 97 females, median 32.
