Exciton localization through nanoscale strain has been used to create highly efficient single-photon emitters (SPEs) in 2D materials. However, the strong Coulomb interactions between excitons can lead to nonradiative recombination through exciton-exciton annihilation, negatively impacting SPE performance. Here, we investigate the effect of Coulomb interactions on the brightness, single photon purity, and operating temperatures of strain-localized GaSe SPEs by using electrostatic doping. By gating GaSe to the charge neutrality point, the exciton-exciton annihilation nonradiative pathway is suppressed, leading to ∼60% improvement of emission intensity and an enhancement of the single photon purity (0) from 0.55 to 0.28. The operating temperature also increased from 4.5 K to 85 K consequently. This research provides insight into many-body interactions in excitons confined by nanoscale strain and lays the groundwork for the optimization of SPEs for optoelectronics and quantum photonics.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the iodine contrast in blood and solid organs differs between men and women and to evaluate the effect of BMI, height, weight, and blood volume (BV) on sex-specific contrast in staging CT.
Materials And Methods: Patients receiving a venous-phase thoracoabdominal Photon-Counting Detector CT (PCD-CT) scan with 100- or 120-mL CM between 08/2021 and 01/2022 were retrospectively included in this single-center study. Image analysis was performed by measuring iodine contrast in the liver, portal vein, spleen, left atrium, left ventricle, pulmonary trunk, ascending and descending aorta on spectral PCD-CT datasets.

Background: Dopamine transporter (I-FP-CIT) single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) and I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (I-MIBG) image play roles as indicative biomarkers in diagnosing patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Brain- and body-first subtypes of DLB were hypothesized implying that subset of DLB may have normal I-FP-CIT or I-MIBG results, respectively. The purpose of this study was to explore the diagnostic sensitivity of two combination imaging modalities (I-FP-CIT SPECT and I-MIBG image) in patients with DLB and examine the clinical difference between brain- and body-first subtype.

Bioimaging technology has been broadly used in biomedicine, and the growth of multimodal imaging technology based on synergistic advantages can overcome the shortcomings of traditional single-modal bioimaging methods and attain high specificity and sensitivity in the fields of bioimaging and biosensing. The analysis of low-abundance microRNAs (miRNAs) in complex organisms is of high importance for early-stage diagnosis and clinical treatment of tumors. In our current study, a biosensing nanoplatform based on Tf-AuNCs and MnO nanosheets was developed for multimodal imaging of tumor cells.

The following study utilizes optical imaging methods (Figure 1) to characterize changes in neuronal, glutamate, and hemodynamic activities in a preclinical amyloidosis mouse model of the disease.
Method: Five (n = 5; 2 females & 3 males) APPswe/PS1dE9 x Thy1-jRGECO1a double transgenic mice were breed for whole-brain fluorescent imaging of neuronal activity.
Background: This study set to determine if 123I-ioflupane SPECT striatal binding ratio (SBR) correlated with parkinsonian symptoms measured on Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III (UPDRS-III) in a dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) cohort and if SBR measured at baseline could predict progression of parkinsonian symptoms over 2 years.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study using the U.S.
