Light-Induced Quantum Reconfiguration of Oxyhydroxides for Photoanodes with 4.24% Efficiency and Stability Beyond 250 Hours.

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is attracting significant research interest in addressing sustainable development goals in renewable energy. Current state-of-the-art, however, cannot provide photoanodes with simultaneously high efficiency and long-lasting lifetime. Here, large-scale NiFe oxyhydroxides-alloy hybridized co-catalyst layer that exhibits an applied bias photon-to-current efficiency (ABPE) of 4.

Short-Term Outcomes of Total Knee Arthroplasty Using a Conventional, Computer-Assisted, and Robotic Technique: A Pilot Clinical Trial.

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a prevalent surgical procedure for treating severe knee arthritis, aiming to alleviate pain and restore function. Recent advancements have introduced computer-assisted (CAS) and robot-assisted (RA-TKA) surgical techniques as alternatives to conventional methods, promising improved accuracy and patient outcomes. However, comprehensive comparative studies evaluating the short-term outcomes and prostheses survivorship among these techniques are limited.

Automated personalization of biomechanical knee model.

Purpose: Patient-specific biomechanical models of the knee joint can effectively aid in understanding the reasons for pathologies and improve diagnostic methods and treatment procedures. For deeper research of knee diseases, the development of biomechanical models with appropriate configurations is essential. In this study, we mainly focus on the development of a personalized biomechanical model for the investigation of knee joint pathologies related to patellar motion using automated methods.

[Relationship between the pain severity, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and blood pressure in elective large joint arthroplasty of the lower extremities].

Aim: To evaluate the changes in blood pressure (BP), the severity of pain syndrome and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use patterns in patients hospitalized for elective arthroplasty of large joints of the lower extremities during the postoperative period.

Materials And Methods: This study included 374 patients. In all patients, medical history, antihypertensive therapy and history of NSAIDs usage were collected, BP was measured, and the severity of pain was assessed via a 10-point scale before surgery, as well as 1 and 3 months after arthroplasty.

Inverse-Designed Metaphotonics for Hypersensitive Detection.

Controlling the flow of broadband electromagnetic energy at the nanoscale remains a critical challenge in optoelectronics. Surface plasmon polaritons (or plasmons) provide subwavelength localization of light but are affected by significant losses. On the contrary, dielectrics lack a sufficiently robust response in the visible to trap photons similar to metallic structures.
