Ag-Ag2S hybrid nanoparticles were deposited onto Anatase anodic TiO2 nanotubular arrays via a one-step in situ hydrothermal method. Characterization was carried out using FE-SEM, HRTEM, XRD, XPS and UV-vis DRS. The fabricated nano-composites exhibit high visible light-sensitivity and photocurrent output as photoanodes in photoelectrochemical applications.

Methods: Paired data were collected on 22 patients (aged 67.5 ± 8.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of biventricular (BiV) pacing versus left univentricular (LUV) pacing in patients with heart failure, focusing on how modern pacing optimization techniques impact these treatments.
- Eighteen patients participated, undergoing a randomized crossover trial where each type of pacing was administered for eight weeks, with echocardiography used for optimization.
- The results showed no significant differences in key health measures between BiV and LUV pacing, although BiV mode improved New York Heart Association class significantly.
