Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the challenges in current data storage technology, specifically the need for materials that enable higher density, faster access times, and lower power consumption.
- It highlights the use of vertically aligned nanocomposites (VANs) made from ferromagnetic LaSrMnO (LSMO) nanopillars in a ZnO matrix, which allows for controllable magnetic anisotropy.
- The research finds that these VAN films align the magnetic easy axis out-of-plane and provide significant advantages in remnant magnetization and bit density, suggesting their potential in improving data storage technologies.
Background: Heart failure (HF) is an important health problem and guidelines recommend multidisciplinary management. The pharmacist is an important member of the multidisciplinary heart failure team, both in the hospital and community setting. This study aims to explore the perceptions of community pharmacists on their role in HF care.

One approach is to create a nanostructured thermoelectric material that has a low thermal conductivity due to its high number of grain boundaries or voids, which scatter phonons. Here, we present a new method based on spark ablation nanoparticle generation to create nanostructured thermoelectric materials, demonstrated using BiTe.

We evaluated responsiveness and minimal important change (MIC) of seven Dutch-Flemish PROMIS computerized adaptive tests (CAT) in Dutch patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: CKD patients (eGFR < 30 ml/min.
Background: The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) has been recommended for computerized adaptive testing (CAT) of health-related quality of life. This study compared the content, validity, and reliability of seven PROMIS CATs to the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease.
Methods: Adult patients with chronic kidney disease and an estimated glomerular filtration rate under 30 mL/min/1.
