Noise is part of daily life in the operating room, and too often is viewed as a necessary evil. However, much of the noise in operating rooms (ORs) is unnecessary, such as extraneous conversations and music, and could be reduced. At the least, noise is known to increase staff stress and to hamper effective communication; at the worst, it adversely affects patient outcomes. Every member of the OR team should be cognisant of this and work to reduce unnecessary noise.

Multifunctional UV photodetect-memristors based on area selective fabricated GaS/graphene/GaN van der Waals heterojunctions.
Mater Horiz

School of Materials Scicence and Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, 510640, China.
Multifunctional devices based on van der Waals heterojunctions have drawn significant attention owing to their portable size, low power consumption and various application scenarios. However, high fabrication equipment requirements, complex device structures and limited operating conditions hinder their potential value. Herein, multifunctional UV photodetect-memristors based on GaS/graphene/GaN van der Waals heterojunctions area selective deposition have been proposed for the first time.

January 2025
Occupational Therapy Research Group (InTeO, Investigación en Terapia Ocupacional), Department of Surgery and Pathology, Miguel Hernandez University, Alicante, Spain.
Objective: To explore the association between telomere length (TL) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children at 6-12 years.
Method: Data from 1,759 children belonging to the HELIX project cohorts and the Asturias, Gipuzkoa and Valencia cohorts of INMA project were included. TL was determined by blood sample using a PCR protocol.
Characterization of Optokinetic Nystagmus in Healthy Participants With a Novel Oculography Device.
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Massachusetts Eye and Ear, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Objective: To develop a proof-of-concept smart-phone-based eye-tracking algorithm to assess non-pathologic optokinetic (OKN) nystagmus in healthy participants. Current videonystagmography (VNG) is typically restricted to in-office use, and advances in portable vestibular diagnostics would yield immense public health benefits.

The Clinical Value of the MAR+ Metal Artifact Reduction Algorithm for Postoperative Assessment of Lumbar Internal Fixation.
J Comput Assist Tomogr
January 2025
Department of Radiology, the Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Southwest Medical University.
Background: With the widespread use of lumbar pedicle screws for internal fixation, the morphology of the screws and the surrounding tissues should be evaluated. The metal artifact reduction (MAR) technique can reduce the artifacts caused by pedicle screws, improve the quality of computed tomography (CT) images after pedicle fixation, and provide more imaging information to the clinic.
Purpose: To explore whether the MAR+ method, a projection-based algorithm for correcting metal artifacts through multiple iterative operations, can reduce metal artifacts and have an impact on the structure of the surrounding metal.
Infrared (IR) photodetectors play a crucial role in modern technologies due to their ability to operate in various environmental conditions. This study developed high-performance InSe/GaAs interdiffusion heterostructure photodetectors with broadband response using liquid-phase method. It is believed that an InGaAs layer and InSe have been formed at the interface through the mutual diffusion of elements, resulting in a detection spectral range spanning from 0.
