A radio frequency magnetron co-sputtering technique exploiting GaTe and ${\rm Sb}_2 {\rm Te}_3$SbTe targets was used for the fabrication of Ga-Sb-Te thin films. Prepared layers cover broad region of chemical composition (${\sim}{10.0 {-} 26.3}\,\, {\rm at.}$∼10.0-26.3at. % of Ga, ${\sim}{19.9 {-} 34.4}\,\, {\rm at.}$∼19.9-34.4at. % of Sb) while keeping Te content fairly constant (53.8-55.6 at. % of Te). Upon crystallization induced by annealing, large variations in electrical contrast were found, reaching a sheet resistance ratio of ${{R}_{\rm annealed}}/{{R}_{\rm as - deposited}}\;\sim{2.2} \times {{10}^{ - 8}}$R/R∼2.2×10 for the ${{\rm Ga}_{26.3}}{{\rm Sb}_{19.9}}{{\rm Te}_{53.8}}$GaSbTe layer. Phase transition from the amorphous to crystalline state further leads to huge changes of optical functions demonstrated by optical contrast values up to $|\Delta n| + |\Delta k| = {4.20}$|Δn|+|Δk|=4.20 for ${{\rm Ga}_{26.3}}{{\rm Sb}_{19.9}}{{\rm Te}_{53.8}}$GaSbTe composition.

Background: Nodular liver (NOD) in cystic fibrosis (CF) suggests advanced CF liver disease (aCFLD); little is known about progression of liver disease (LD) after detection of sonographic NOD.
Methods: Clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound (US) data from Prediction by Ultrasound of the Risk of Hepatic Cirrhosis in CFLD Study participants with NOD at screening or follow-up were compared with normal (NL). Linear mixed effects models were used for risk factors for LD progression and Kaplan-Meier estimator for time-to-event.

Background Radiogenomics of pediatric medulloblastoma (MB) offers an opportunity for MB risk stratification, which may aid therapeutic decision making, family counseling, and selection of patient groups suitable for targeted genetic analysis. Purpose To develop machine learning strategies that identify the four clinically significant MB molecular subgroups. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, consecutive pediatric patients with newly diagnosed MB at MRI at 12 international pediatric sites between July 1997 and May 2020 were identified.

Dear Editor, The chapter on mental, behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders of the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11) has been now finalized. Reporting of health statistics by Member States to the World Health Organization (WHO) using the new diagnostic system will begin in 2022. The section on mood disorders of the ICD-11 is overall consistent with the corresponding section of the ICD-10.

Background And Purpose: Epidemiological studies have shown racial and ethnic minorities to have higher stroke risk and worse outcomes than non-Hispanic Whites. In this cohort study, we analyzed the STAR (Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry) database, a multi-institutional database of patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for acute large vessel occlusion stroke to determine the relationship between mechanical thrombectomy outcomes and race.
Methods: Patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy between January 2017 and May 2020 were analyzed.
