Sc-doped GeTe thin films prepared by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Graphic Arts and Photophysics, Faculty of Chemical Technology, University of Pardubice, Studentská 573, Pardubice, 532 10, Czech Republic.

Radio frequency magnetron co-sputtering method employing GeTe and Sc targets was exploited for the deposition of Sc doped GeTe thin films. Different characterization techniques (scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, sheet resistance temperature-dependent measurements, variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry, and laser ablation time-of-flight mass spectrometry) were used to evaluate the properties of as-deposited (amorphous) and annealed (crystalline) Ge-Te-Sc thin films. Prepared amorphous thin films have GeTe, GeTeSc, GeTeSc, GeTeSc and GeTeSc chemical composition.

Augmented Reality for Surgical Navigation: A Review of Advanced Needle Guidance Systems for Percutaneous Tumor Ablation.

Radiol Imaging Cancer

January 2025

From the Department of Clinical Affairs, MediView XR, Cleveland, Ohio (M.E.); College of Medicine, Alfaisal University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (A.B.); and Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Section of Interventional Radiology, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, 9500 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH 44195-5243 (S.K., K.G., C.M.).

Percutaneous tumor ablation has become a widely accepted and used treatment option for both soft and hard tissue malignancies. The current standard-of-care techniques for performing these minimally invasive procedures require providers to navigate a needle to their intended target using two-dimensional (2D) US or CT to obtain complete local response. These traditional image-guidance systems require operators to mentally transpose what is visualized on a 2D screen into the inherent three-dimensional (3D) context of human anatomy.

Rhinophyma, a severe manifestation of rosacea, predominantly affects Caucasian males aged 50-70 and is characterized by thickening and enlargement of the nasal skin. The condition can seriously both impact cosmetic appearance and obstruct nasal breathing. While its appearance is distinct, conditions such as basal cell carcinoma can mimic it, complicating diagnosis.

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive soft tissue ablation technique, which utilizes ultrasound energy to induce thermal coagulation necrosis in targeted tissues. Whether this high energy causes side effects in vivo, such as the formation of peptide bonds, has not been fully investigated. Glycylglycine is the simplest dipeptide and hence is often used as a model compound for peptide studies.

Background: Intravenous anesthesia with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has been reported to benefit oxygen reserves and enhance postoperative recovery in surgeries requiring low neuromuscular blockade. This study investigated whether HFNC improves recovery quality in elderly undergoing ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy (UHLL).

Methods: We enrolled 106 elderly patients undergoing UHLL, with 96 patients (48 per group) included in the final analysis.
