Surface passivation with multifunctional molecules is an effective strategy to mitigate the defect and improve the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, the fabrication of a wide bandgap-PSC is reported with tin perovskite (WB-Sn-HP; bandgap: 1.68 eV), followed by molecular surface passivation using 4-Fluoro-benzohydrazide (F-BHZ).

In patients carrying MEFV exon 10 variants, FMF usually develops at an early age. A 76-year-old Japanese man presented with a periodic fever lasting 2-3 days, chest pain, and abdominal pain.

- Seven low molecular weight peptides were identified as potential biomarkers for diagnosing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and their relationship with leg ischemia and atherosclerosis in patients with lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) was explored.
- * A study involving 165 outpatients (mainly men) assessed symptoms of leg ischemia and blood flow using the Rutherford classification, ankle-brachial index (ABI), and carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT).
- * Results indicated that certain peptides (m/z 2091 and 2378) were positively correlated with leg ischemia severity, while peptide m/z 2081 showed an inverse relationship; however, these peptides did not correlate with carotid atherosclerosis.
Background: Seven peptides with low molecular weights in blood have been identified as possible biomarkers of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). A history of HDP is known to be associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease in the later life of women with HDP. However, it remains to be determined whether HDP-related peptides are useful biomarkers of cardiovascular disease in the general population.
