Energy Transfer between Conjugated Colloidal Ga₂O₃ and CdSe/CdS Core/Shell Nanocrystals for White Light Emitting Applications.

Developing solid state materials capable of generating homogeneous white light in an energy efficient and resource-sustainable way is central to the design of new and improved devices for various lighting applications. Most currently-used phosphors depend on strategically important rare earth elements, and rely on a multicomponent approach, which produces sub-optimal quality white light. Here, we report the design and preparation of a colloidal white-light emitting nanocrystal conjugate.

Uterine adnexal torsion: a case report.

Uterine adnexal torsion is a surgical condition that requires prompt diagnosis and intervention. An ultrasound examination demonstrating a unilaterally enlarged, hypoechoic ovary with several small spherical, peripherally located sonolucent structures in the involved ovary, in addition to a history and physical consistent with torsion, confirms the need for surgical intervention. In this article, we present a case of uterine adnexal torsion and discuss the etiologic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this entity.
