Space-charge-limited current (SCLC) measurements play a crucial role in the electrical characterization of semiconductors, particularly for metal halide perovskites. Accurate reporting and analysis of SCLC are essential for gaining meaningful insights into charge transport and defect density in these systems. Unfortunately, performing SCLC measurements on perovskites is complicated by their mixed electronic-ionic conductivity. This complexity led to SCLC data often being incorrectly analyzed using simplified models unsuitable for these materials and reported without essential information about how the measurements were performed. In light of recently published SCLC data, common challenges in using SCLC measurements on perovskite materials are addressed, and solutions are discussed in this paper. The applicability of the often-used analytical models, the overlooked issues related to the mixed ionic-electronic conductivity of perovskites, and the complexity of creating single-carrier devices are investigated using drift-diffusion simulations. Finally, guidelines for more accurate reporting and improved analysis are provided.

Background: Hippocampal avoidance during prophylactic cranial irradiation (HA-PCI) is proposed to reduce neurocognitive decline, while preserving the benefits of PCI. We evaluated whether (HA-)PCI induces changes in white matter (WM) microstructure and whether sparing the hippocampus has an impact on preserving brain network topology. Additionally, we evaluated associations between topological metrics with hippocampal volume and neuropsychological outcomes.

Introduction: Higher concentrations of the small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) serum marker, pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (proGRP), in lung inflammations has been indicated in literature. The objective of this study was to compare serum proGRP concentration in pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and early-stage primary lung cancers.

Materials And Methods: An observational study was performed to assess serum proGRP against other lung cancer markers in pneumonia, COPD and in stage 1/2 carcinomas.

Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is currently the most reliable biomarker for small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which is important for disease monitoring, clinical evaluation and diagnosis. However, traditional methods suffer from various disadvantages, including instability, complexity, time-consuming operations, and the necessity for standards. In this study, we developed a calibration-free concentration analysis (CFCA) method based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology, to accurately quantify the active concentration of NSE without relying on any standards.

Background: Most patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) present with extensive-stage (ES) disease and have a poor prognosis despite achieving high initial response rates to platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. This study evaluated whether adding hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to chemotherapy could improve outcomes.

Methods: This was a randomised multicentre phase II trial.

Objective: Smoking is concentrated in behavioral health populations in the United States, calling for efforts to increase access to cessation services.

Methods: Between 2010 and 2023, the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center (SCLC) implemented state Leadership Academies-a facilitated summit of public health leaders and community champions charged with developing an action plan to address smoking in their state. Using a multi-methods approach, we evaluated state Leadership Academies using the RE-AIM framework.
