The polymer solar cells also known as organic solar cells (OSCs) have drawn attention due to their cynosure in industrial manufacturing because of their promising properties such as low weight, highly flexible, and low-cost production. However, low restricts the utilization of OSCs for potential applications such as low-cost energy harvesting devices. In this paper, OSCs structure based on a triple-junction tandem scheme is reported with three different absorber materials to enhance the absorption of photons which in turn improves the , as well as its correlating performance parameters.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is no more deemed to be an ailment of the 4th or 5th decade; rather an earlier age incidence is not infrequently encountered in our population. However, there are a few data regarding CAD in young adults, and much about its underlying pathology still remains undetermined. The objective of this study was to delineate the coronary arterial disease pattern in adults under the age of 35 years, but having no known coronary risk factors.

Objective: To determine the frequency and demographic features of subjects with Brugada-Type ECG pattern in apparently healthy young population.
Study Design: Cross sectional descriptive study.
Methods: This study was conducted at School of Nursing Hayatabad Medical Complex, Public Health School, Post Graduate College of Nursing, Qurtaba College, Brain's Post Graduate College and Gandhara Institute of Science and Technology Hayatabad Peshawar from June 2006 to May 2007.
Background: Prevention of sudden cardiac death has always been a challenge for electrophysiologists and to date, automatic implantable cardiovertor defibrillator (AICD) is found to be the only remedy. This device delivers an intracardiac shock whenever it senses a fatal ventricular arrhythmia in order to achieve sinus rhythm. If the delivery of these intracardiac shocks becomes frequent, the situation is declared as an electrical storm.
