Effective and stable hole-transporting materials (HTMs) are necessary for obtaining excellent planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, we reported a solution-processed composite HTM consisting of a polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and a small-molecule copper phthalocyanine-3,4',4″,4‴-tetrasulfonated acid tetrasodium salt (TS-CuPc) with optimized doping ratios. The composite HTM is crucial for not only enhancing the hole transport and extraction but also improving the perovskite crystallization. In addition, the composite HTM can weaken the indium tin oxide erosion by reducing the acidity and increasing the dispersibility of the PEDOT:PSS aqueous dispersion via incorporating suitable TS-CuPc. Consequently, a highly efficient device was fabricated with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.29%. Its short-circuit current (J) is 22.23 mA/cm, and its open-circuit voltage (V) is 1.01 V. Meanwhile, it exhibited a higher fill factor (FF) of 77% and improved cell stability. The developed composite HTM provides a good potential anode interfacial layer for fabricating outstanding PSCs.

Background: With metabolic disorders on the rise globally, the cardiometabolic index (CMI) has emerged as a crucial predictor of mortality risks linked to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. This novel index, which combines lipid metabolism and body composition, is the focus of this study, aimed at exploring its association with all-cause and specific mortality in an all-age adult population.
Methods: A longitudinal cohort study including 5,728 participants aged over 18 from nine cycles between 2001 and 2018 was enrolled and assessed.

Background And Objectives: Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is an inherited muscle disorder, with childhood onset in 20% of patients. Understanding the natural history of childhood FSHD and identifying clinical and functional outcome measures are crucial for clinical care and future trials.
Methods: In a prospective nationwide FSHD cohort study (iFocus), 20 childhood-onset patients were assessed at baseline, 2 years, and 5 years.

Antioxidant-rich diets serve as protective factors in preventing obesity. The composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) represents a novel, comprehensive metric for assessing the antioxidant capacity of diets. Our objective is to investigate the relationship between the CDAI and obesity prevalence among adults in the United States.

Norovirus (NoV) is the predominant cause of foodborne illness globally; current detection methods are typically expensive, have inadequate sensitivities, and utilize biological receptors with poor stability. Therefore, accurate, cost-effective, and highly stable detection methods are needed to screen for NoV in foods. We developed molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) to detect NoV using a small target epitope (12 amino acids) with a solid-phase synthesis approach.
