AI Article Synopsis
- A retained rear tip extender poses difficulties during penile prosthetic removal, potentially affecting the success of a replacement implant.
- A new method utilizing a Brook's dilator has been developed to effectively remove this retained extender.
- This approach could improve outcomes for patients needing explantation and replacement of penile prosthetics.
Article Abstract
A retained rear tip extender remains a challenge in penile prosthetic explantation. Removal failure can compromise the success of the new implant. We report a novel method of removing a retained rear tip extender using a Brook's dilator.

Descriptive evaluation of a camera-based dairy cattle lameness detection technology.
J Dairy Sci
November 2024
University of Minnesota, Department of Veterinary Population Medicine, St. Paul, MN 55108.
Lameness in dairy cattle is a clinical sign of impaired locomotion, mainly caused by painful foot lesions, compromising the US dairy industry's economic, environmental, and social sustainability goals. Combining technology and on-farm data may be a more precise and less labor-intensive lameness detection tool, particularly for early detection. The objective of this observational study was to describe the association between average weekly autonomous camera-based (AUTO) locomotion scores and hoof trimming (HT) data.

Article Synopsis
- - Perovskite solar cells are promising for future solar technology, but their commercialization is hindered by stability issues, with current aging tests lacking reliability.
- - A new industrial encapsulation process using a highly viscous adhesive helps reduce stress at key interfaces and incorporates hexagonal boron nitride to enhance thermal and barrier properties.
- - This encapsulation method has proven effective in prolonged aging tests, maintaining over 80% efficiency, and is adaptable for various cell types, including semi-transparent designs for building-integrated solar applications.

Defects at the top and bottom interfaces of three-dimensional (3D) perovskite photoabsorbers diminish the performance and operational stability of perovskite solar cells owing to charge recombination, ion migration and electric-field inhomogeneities. Here we demonstrate that long alkyl amine ligands can generate near-phase-pure 2D perovskites at the top and bottom 3D perovskite interfaces and effectively resolve these issues. At the rear-contact side, we find that the alkyl amine ligand strengthens the interactions with the substrate through acid-base reactions with the phosphonic acid group from the organic hole-transporting self-assembled monolayer molecule, thus regulating the 2D perovskite formation.

Organic solar cells (OSCs) are still suffering from the low light utilization and unstable under ultraviolet irradiation. To tackle these challenges, we design and synthesize a non-fused acceptor based on 1-(2-butyloctyl)-1H-pyrrole as π-bridge unit, denoted as GS70, which serves as active layer in the front-cell for constructing tandem OSCs with a parallel configuration. Benefiting from the well-complementary absorption spectra with the rear-cell, GS70-based parallel tandem OSCs exhibit an improved photoelectron response over the range between 600-700 nm, yielding a high short-circuit current density of 28.
