Management of enterocutaneous fistulae is challenging, often requiring a multidisciplinary approach. In high output fistulae, surgery is advocated after control of sepsis, adequate fluid and electrolyte repletion, and nutritional support. Surgery may, however, be contraindicated in the presence of sepsis and malnutrition. The presence of HIV infection brings extra challenges.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment has proven successful for advanced melanoma, but is associated with potentially severe toxicity and high costs. Accurate biomarkers for response are lacking. The present work is the first to investigate the value of deep learning on CT imaging of metastatic lesions for predicting ICI treatment outcomes in advanced melanoma.

Ultralow k covalent organic frameworks enabling high fidelity signal transmission and high temperature electromechanical sensing.

Nat Commun

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Advanced Polymeric Materials of Shanghai, School of Materials Science and Engineering, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai, P. R. China.

As integrated circuits have developed towards the direction of complexity and miniaturization, there is an urgent need for low dielectric constant materials to effectively realize high-fidelity signal transmission. However, there remains a challenge to achieve ultralow dielectric constant and ultralow dielectric loss over a wide temperature range, not to mention having excellent thermal conductivity and processability concurrently. We herein prepare dual-linker freestanding covalent organic framework films with tailorable fluorine content via interfacial polymerization.

Research Progress of Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Ocean Wave Energy Harvesting.

Small

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Advanced Marine Materials, Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Corrosion and Bio-Fouling, Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao, 266071, China.

The ocean wave energy is considered one of the most promising forms of marine blue energy due to its vast reserves and high energy density. However, traditional electromagnetic power generation technology suffers from drawbacks such as high maintenance costs, heavy structures, and low conversion efficiency, which restricts its application range. The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) uses Maxwell displacement current as its internal driving force, which can efficiently convert irregular, low-frequency, and dispersed mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Water-Enabled Electricity Generation by a Smooth Liquid-Like Semiconductor Coating Surface.

Small

December 2024

Engineering Research Center of Advanced Rare Earth Materials (Ministry of Education), Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University, Beijing, 100084, P. R. China.

Water energy-converting techniques that focus on interfacial charge separation and transfer have aroused significant attention. However, the water-repelling nature leads to a less dense liquid layer and a sharp gradient of liquid velocity, which limits its output performance. Here, a water sliding generator (WSG) based on a smooth liquid-like/semiconductor surface (SLSS) is developed that harnesses the full advantage of liquid sliding friction.
