Role of growth temperature on microstructural and electronic properties of rapid thermally grown MoTethin film for infrared detection.

In the field of electronic and optoelectronic applications, two-dimensional materials are found to be promising candidates for futuristic devices. For the detection of infrared (IR) light, MoTepossesses an appropriate bandgap for which p-MoTe/n-Si heterojunctions are well suited for photodetectors. In this study, a rapid thermal technique is used to grow MoTethin films on silicon (Si) substrates.

Automated segmentation of the left-ventricle from MRI with a fully convolutional network to investigate CTRCD in breast cancer patients.

The goal of this study was to develop a fully convolutional network (FCN) tool to automatedly segment the left-ventricular (LV) myocardium in displacement encoding with stimulated echoes MRI. The segmentation results are used for LV chamber quantification and strain analyses in breast cancer patients susceptible to cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). A DeepLabV3+ FCN with a ResNet-101 backbone was custom-designed to conduct chamber quantification on 45 female breast cancer datasets (23 training, 11 validation, and 11 test sets).

Should Antipsychotics' Risks Be Accepted by Clinicians on Behalf of Patients to Achieve Benefits of Mitigating Older Adults' Behavioral Symptoms in Short-Staffed Units?

This commentary on a case considers risks and benefits of pharmacological and nonpharmacological management of agitation in patients with dementia. Specifically, it considers beneficence and nonmaleficence in treatment decisions that affect both patients and staff as well as autonomy and surrogate decision making.

A Comprehensive Review on Neuroendocrine Neoplasms: Presentation, Pathophysiology and Management.

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a group of heterogeneous tumors with neuroendocrine differentiation that can arise from any organ. They account for 2% of all malignancies in the United States. A significant proportion of NEN patients experience endocrine imbalances consequent to increased amine or peptide hormone secretion, impacting their quality of life and prognosis.

Precision Medicine and the future of Cardiovascular Diseases: A Clinically Oriented Comprehensive Review.

Cardiac diseases form the lion's share of the global disease burden, owing to the paradigm shift to non-infectious diseases from infectious ones. The prevalence of CVDs has nearly doubled, increasing from 271 million in 1990 to 523 million in 2019. Additionally, the global trend for the years lived with disability has doubled, increasing from 17.
