A numerical model for the transient response of extrinsic photoconductors is applied to the behavior of Ge:Ga and GaAs:Te detectors. Photoconductors display a two-component response to changes in illumination. The characteristic time and magnitude for the slow component have been studied as a function of background flux, applied field, temperature, device length, and signal size. For large-signal applications, the background flux affects the transient response even when the signal is orders of magnitude greater than the background. Experimental results are presented to support key predictions of the modeling. Because the ratio of fast to slow components is independent of both background and signal size, we propose the operation of detectors in such a way that final signal levels are derived from the fast component.

Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil. Electronic address:
Background: Chronic pruritus is the defining symptom of atopic dermatitis (AD). Although AD is common in Latin America, there is little data regarding pruritus intensity, characteristics, and effects on quality of life in this population.
Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate pruritus in 91 patients with AD at a tertiary university hospital in São Paulo, Brazil.
Impacts of short-term exposure to ambient air pollutants on outpatient visits for respiratory diseases in children: a time series study in Yichang, China.
Environ Health Prev Med
March 2025
Department of Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Harbin Medical University.
Background: There is growing evidence that the occurrence and severity of respiratory diseases in children are related to the concentration of air pollutants. Nonetheless, evidence regarding the association between short-term exposure to air pollution and outpatient visits for respiratory diseases in children remains limited. Outpatients cover a wide range of disease severity, including both severe and mild cases, some of which may need to be transferred to inpatient treatment.

BMJ Open
March 2025
School of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Introduction: Patients with musculoskeletal conditions often seek care in an emergency department (ED). The problem is that the time required to manage these patients places an additional pressure on ED physician and nursing staff, who are primarily trained and resourced to manage high-acuity patients. Primary-contact physiotherapists could play a greater role in supporting ED physician and nursing staff in the management of patients presenting to the ED with musculoskeletal conditions.

Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology, Tampere University, Tampere, Pirkanmaa, Finland.
Objectives: In Finland, the reimbursement system for occupational health services (OHSs) was reformed on 1 January 2020 to shift the focus from curative care to preventive OHS and promote employees' work ability. We investigated the OHS trends and how the reimbursement affected them.
Design: A register-based study that used moving averages to visualise OHS trends in 2018-2022.
