Nonfullerene all-small-molecule organic solar cells (NF all-SMSCs) are an important classification in the organic solar cell system. However, the application and research of NF all-SMSCs are limited due to the easy aggregation of small molecules to form large-phase domains. Perylene bisimides (PBIs) have been widely used as nonfullerene acceptors.…[Read more]

A novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SARS-CoV-2) causing a cluster of respiratory infections (coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19) in Wuhan, China, was identified on 7 January 2020. The epidemic quickly disseminated from Wuhan and as at 12 February 2020, 45,179 cases have been confirmed in 25 countries, including…[Read more]

Surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse is one of the most frequent gynecological procedures, and its frequency is expected to increase as the population is gradually aging. Mesh use in urogynecological surgery should be limited because of important and life-treating complications. Sacral mesh-less and lateral procedures have been described as…[Read more]

We aimed to determine whether 3D imaging reconstruction allows identifying molecularclinical associations in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1).

We obtained myoblasts from 6 patients with DM1 and 6 controls. We measured cytosine-thymine-guanine (CTG) expansion and detected RNA foci and muscleblind like 1 (MBNL1) through 3D reconstruction. We…[Read more]

Electromagnetic transducers using a balanced armature play an important role in hearing aids and in-ear headphones because they generate required sound output at high efficiency. RP-6306 This paper investigates the transfer behavior at high amplitudes and develops a lumped parameter model of this transducer that considers the nonlinearities caused…[Read more]

DRASTIC-N is compared to the widely used and documented Danish nitrate vulnerability assessment method SCANVA in a study area where the primary aquifer used for drinking water production is composed of heterogeneous sandy glacial deposits. Both SCANVA and DRASTIC-N result in vulnerability maps, which show similar patterns of nitrate vulnerability…[Read more]

The standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for OEWS, SOFA, and APACHE II was 66.3, 62.5, and 69.15%, respectively.

Obstetric early warning score is as effective as the conventional SOFA and APACHE II to prognosticate the obstetric patient. Since OEWS is based only on clinical criteria, it can be done immediately on admission and can help in…[Read more]

The clinical impact of invasive hemodynamic support with Impella in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) remains to be defined.

Only studies including patients treated with Impella in CS were selected. The primary endpoint was short term mortality, while secondary endpoints were major vascular complications and major bleeding.

17…[Read more]
