Article Abstract
Background: There is a lack of consensus and very little published guidance on the management of a low-lying or malpositioned intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) or system (IUS).
Methods And Results: A short e-mail questionnaire sent to senior medical staff working in contraceptive services confirmed the variation in views and management of this clinical area. Almost all respondents would replace an IUD/IUS lying either totally or partially in the cervical canal. The nearer the device was to the fundus the more likely respondents were to leave it in situ and there was less concern if the device was an IUS, presumably in view of the hormonal action. In the presence of abnormal bleeding or pain, most respondents would look for other causes rather than assume that the low-lying device was to blame. Respondents expressed uncertainty as to whether low-lying devices were more likely to fail or not and around half the respondents felt that low-lying devices could migrate upwards within the cavity.
Conclusion: This survey highlighted the need for accurate evidence-based guidance to assist in this area of clinical contraceptive practice.

The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Columbus, Ohio.
Background: An all-inside endoscopic flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer is indicated for the treatment of chronic, full-thickness Achilles tendon defects. The aim of this procedure is to restore function of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex while avoiding the wound complications associated with open procedures.
Description: This procedure can be performed through 2 endoscopic portals, a posteromedial portal (the working portal) and a posterolateral portal (the visualization portal).

Benzothiadiazole (BT) has shown promising applications in fullerene solar cells. However, few BT-based polymer donors exhibited a noticeable power conversion efficiency (PCE) for the fused-ring small molecular acceptor-based polymer solar cells (PSCs). Herein, we developed a D-A (D: donor, A: acceptor) polymer donor F-1 based on fluorinated BT (ffBT) as A unit and chlorinated benzo [1,2-b : 4,5-b'] dithiophene (BDT-2Cl) as D unit.

Article Synopsis
- Both p-type and n-type conjugated polymers are essential for creating organic optoelectronic devices, but n-type polymers, which have been slower to develop, are crucial for optimizing performance in devices like organic solar cells and transistors.
- A new electron-withdrawing building block called double boron-nitrogen coordination bond (BNBP) shows promise due to its stable structure and desirable electronic properties, making it a good candidate for developing n-type polymers.
- BNBP-based conjugated polymers have demonstrated excellent optoelectronic characteristics, including high electron mobility and strong fluorescence, making them effective in a variety of optoelectronic applications such as organic light-emitting diodes and photodetectors.

Crystalline solids exhibiting inherently low lattice thermal conductivity ( ) are of great importance in applications such as thermoelectrics and thermal barrier coatings. However, cannot be arbitrarily low and is limited by the minimum thermal conductivity related to phonon dispersions. In this work, we report the liquid-like thermal transport in a well-ordered crystalline CsAgTe, which exhibits an extremely low value of ∼0.
