Cadmium selenide quantum dots covalently attached to and photosensitizing single-crystal TiO2 surfaces are observed to corrode under illumination in aqueous electrolyte containing iodide as a regenerator. Comparison of photocurrent spectra before and after long-term monochromatic illumination indicated that the CdSe QD sensitizers photocorroded and decreased in size until their band gap energy exceeded the excitation energy. This wavelength-dependent photoelectrochemical etching mechanism can be used to tune the size distribution of surface adsorbed QDs and may account for the instability of QD sensitized solar cells that do not employ sulfide-based electrolytes.

Study Question: How accurately can artificial intelligence (AI) models predict sperm retrieval in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) patients undergoing micro-testicular sperm extraction (m-TESE) surgery?
Summary Answer: AI predictive models hold significant promise in predicting successful sperm retrieval in NOA patients undergoing m-TESE, although limitations regarding variability of study designs, small sample sizes, and a lack of validation studies restrict the overall generalizability of studies in this area.
What Is Known Already: Previous studies have explored various predictors of successful sperm retrieval in m-TESE, including clinical and hormonal factors. However, no consistent predictive model has yet been established.

Background: Malignant transformation (MT) of mature cystic teratoma (MCT) has a poor prognosis, especially in advanced cases. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) has an inhibitory effect on MT.
Case Summary: Herein, we present a case in which CCRT had a reduction effect preoperatively.

The early symptoms of hepatocellular carcinoma patients are often subtle and easily overlooked. By the time patients exhibit noticeable symptoms, the disease has typically progressed to middle or late stages, missing optimal treatment opportunities. Therefore, discovering biomarkers is essential for elucidating their functions for the early diagnosis and prevention.
