We propose an embedded reverse-offset printing (EROP) method, which generates silver nanowire (AgNW) transparent electrodes for display applications. The proposed EROP method can solve the two critical issues of microscale pattern formation and surface planarization. The AgNW electrode had a transmittance of 82% at 550 nm, a sheet resistance of 12.2 Ω/sq, and a 3.27 nm smooth surface. We realized the roll-based pattern formation of AgNW on a plastic substrate as small as 10 μm with negligible step differences to facilitate the proposed method. The proposed EROP method also produced a double-stacked AgNW electrode, enabling the simultaneous operation of separately micropatterned devices. To verify the usefulness of EROP, we fabricated an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) device to demonstrate leakage current reduction and efficiency improvement compared with a conventional indium tin oxide (ITO)-based OLED device. The EROP-based OLED showed 38 and 25% higher current efficiencies than an insulator-patterned AgNW OLED and a conventional ITO-based OLED, respectively.

Validation of a Published Model to Reduce Burden of Retinopathy of Prematurity Screening.

Am J Ophthalmol

January 2024

Departments of Ophthalmology, Neurology, and Pediatrics, and Vanderbilt Eye Institute (S.D.), Vanderbilt University Medical Center; Nashville, Tennessee, USA.

Purpose: The E-ROP study evaluated 1257 patients screened for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and found that no infant born at or after 27 weeks' gestational age and having a birthweight over 750 g developed treatable disease if they had no ROP at 37 weeks' gestational age. The study investigators suggested that there is little value in continued screening of infants meeting these criteria who have no ROP at 37 weeks. We attempted to replicate these published data in a larger multi-center cohort to validate or refute this hypothesis.

Diagnostic accuracy, a measure of diagnostic tests for correctly identifying patients with or without a target disease, plays an important role in evidence-based medicine. Diagnostic accuracy of a new test ideally should be evaluated by comparing to a gold standard; however, in many medical applications it may be invasive, costly, or even unethical to obtain a gold standard for particular diseases. When the accuracy of a new candidate test under evaluation is assessed by comparison to an imperfect reference test, bias is expected to occur and result in either overestimates or underestimates of its true accuracy.

Osteopathic Medicine in Four Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain Diseases: An Observational Trial with Follow-Up.

Complement Med Res

February 2022

Institute of Social Medicine, Epidemiology and Health Economics, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, corporate member of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and Berlin Institute of Health, Berlin, Germany.

Background And Aim: Patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain diseases (CMPDs) often use osteopathic medicine (OM), although the changes in patients with pain diseases are still insufficiently investigated. This study aimed to observe changes along and after OM in addition to routine care on pain, functioning, and quality of life in patients with four CMPDs.

Methods: In this observational trial with follow-up, patients suffering from chronic neck pain (CNP, n = 10), chronic low back pain (CLBP, n = 10), chronic shoulder pain (CSP, n = 10), or chronic knee pain (CKP, n = 10) received up to six OM sessions in addition to routine care.
