Article Abstract

Single-layer semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (2H-TMDs) display robust excitonic photoluminescence emission, which can be improved by controlled changes to the environment and the chemical potential of the material. However, a drastic emission quench has been generally observed when TMDs are stacked in van der Waals heterostructures, which often favor the nonradiative recombination of photocarriers. Herein, we achieve an enhancement of the photoluminescence of single-layer MoS on top of van der Waals FePS. The optimal energy band alignment of this heterostructure preserves light emission of MoS against nonradiative interlayer recombination processes and favors the charge transfer from MoS, an n-type semiconductor, to FePS, a p-type narrow-gap semiconductor. The strong depletion of carriers in the MoS layer is evidenced by a dramatic increase in the spectral weight of neutral excitons, which is strongly modulated by the thickness of the FePS underneath, leading to the increase of photoluminescence intensity. The present results demonstrate the potential for the rational design of van der Waals heterostructures with advanced optoelectronic properties.

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

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.
