Discusses the inclusion of anatomical constraints and anisotropy in static Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) using a two-step approach to EIT. In the first step, the boundaries between regions of different conductivities are anatomically constrained using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data. In the second step, the conductivity values in different regions are determined. Anisotropic conductivity regions are included to allow better modeling of the muscle regions (e.g., skeletal muscle) which exhibit a greater conductivity in the direction parallel to the muscle fiber. This two-step approach is used to reconstruct the conductivity profile of a canine torso, illustrating its potential application in extracting conductivity values for bioelectric modeling.

Background: To ensure the complete traceability of healthcare commodities, robust end-to-end data management protocols are needed for the supply chain. In Ethiopia, digital tools like Dagu-2 are used in the lower levels of the healthcare supply chain. However, there is a lack of information regarding the implementation status, factors, and challenges of Dagu-2, as it is a recent upgrade from the offline Dagu-1 application.

Targeting the peculiarities of tumor tissue microenvironment different from normal tissue, such as lower pH and overexpression of hydrogen peroxide is the key to effective treatment. In this study, acid-responsive Z-scheme heterojunctions polyglycolated MoS/CoFeO (MoS = molybdenum disulfide, CoFeO = cobalt ferrite) was synthesized using a two-step hydrothermal method, designated as MSCO-PEG, guided by dual modes of photoacoustic imagine (PAI) and nuclear magnetic imaging (MRI). MSCO-PEG (PEG = polyethylene glycol) responded to the acidic environment of tumor tissues and overexpression of hydrogen peroxide to turn on multimodal synergistic treatment of tumor cells under near-infrared-II (NIR-II) illumination.

Achieving sensors that can sensitively and selectively quantify levels of analytes in complex biofluids such as blood remains a significant challenge. To address this, we synthesized an array of isolated carbon nanochannels on a flat gold electrode that function as molecular sieves to prevent protein fouling and eliminate the need for antifouling layers. Utilizing a two-step pulsed technique, a reductive pulse expels negative interferences and fouling molecules followed by an oxidative pulse that oxidizes glucose at the bottom of the channel and on the gold surface.

Background: Up to 13% of adolescents suffer from depressive disorders. Despite the high psychological burden, adolescents rarely decide to contact child and adolescent psychiatric services. To provide a low-barrier alternative, our long-term goal is to develop a chatbot for early identification of depressive symptoms.

Converting biomass-derived molecules like 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) into value-added products alongside hydrogen production using renewable energy offers significant opportunities for sustainable chemical and energy production. Yet, HMF electrooxidation requires strong alkaline conditions and membranes for efficient conversion. These harsh conditions destabilize HMF, leading to humin formation and reduced product purity, meanwhile membranes increase costs.
