Van der Waals integration with abundant two-dimensional materials provides a broad basis for assembling functional devices. In a specific van der Waals heterojunction, the band alignment engineering is crucial and feasible to realize high performance and multifunctionality. Here, we design a ferroelectric-tuned van der Waals heterojunction device structure by integrating a GeSe/MoS VHJ and poly (vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene)-based ferroelectric polymer. An ultrahigh electric field derived from the ferroelectric polarization can effectively modulate the band alignment of the GeSe/MoS heterojunction. Band alignment transition of the heterojunction from type II to type I is demonstrated. The combination of anisotropic GeSe with MoS realizes a high-performance polarization-sensitive photodetector exhibiting low dark current of approximately 1.5 pA, quick response of 14 μs, and high detectivity of 4.7 × 10 Jones. Dichroism ratios are also enhanced by ferroelectric polarization in a broad spectrum from visible to near-infrared. The ferroelectric-tuned GeSe/MoS van der Waals heterojunction has great potential for multifunctional detection applications in sophisticated light information sensing. More profoundly, the ferroelectric-tuned van der Waals heterojunction structure provides a valid band-engineering approach to creating versatile devices.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the use of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in treating heavily calcified chronic total occlusions (CTOs), noting that calcification leads to worse patient outcomes.
  • It analyzes data from 404 patients, finding that procedural success rates and safety outcomes were similar for both CTO and non-CTO patients.
  • The conclusion emphasizes that IVL is effective and safe for managing heavily calcified lesions, supporting its use in clinical practice.

Article Synopsis
  • Multi-b-value diffusion-weighted MRI techniques can measure brain tissue properties but face challenges due to SNR and the selection of b-values for accurate data gathering.
  • This study uses a genetic algorithm to determine the most effective b-values for estimating interstitial fluid in the brain, comparing its performance to other sampling methods.
  • Results showed that the optimized b-value scheme significantly reduced the root mean square error (RMSE), improving the accuracy of the diffusion component estimation related to interstitial fluid.

Objectives: A minimally invasive lobectomy (MIL) is the standard treatment for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in medically operable patients. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is recommended for inoperable patients and has been proposed as a potential alternative for operable patients as well. Here, we present the results of a feasibility study in preparation for a nationwide retrospective cohort study, comparing outcomes between both treatment modalities.

Diagnostic accuracy of Ara h 2 for detecting peanut allergy in children.

Clin Exp Allergy

August 2021

Department of Dermatology/Allergology, University Medical Center Utrecht, University of Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the effectiveness of a specific IgE test for diagnosing peanut allergies in children, aiming to reduce reliance on more invasive food challenge tests.
  • It involved 150 children aged 3.5 to 18 in the Netherlands, comparing results from the IgE test with actual peanut ingestion to determine allergy status.
  • The findings showed high diagnostic accuracy for the IgE test, identifying patients as peanut-tolerant or allergic, and potentially saving healthcare costs by using this method instead of national guidelines.

Background: Neonates and infants requiring anaesthesia are at risk of physiological instability and complications, but triggers for peri-anaesthetic interventions and associations with subsequent outcome are unknown.

Methods: This prospective, observational study recruited patients up to 60 weeks' postmenstrual age undergoing anaesthesia for surgical or diagnostic procedures from 165 centres in 31 European countries between March 2016 and January 2017. The primary aim was to identify thresholds of pre-determined physiological variables that triggered a medical intervention.
