Article Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are attractive candidates for high-performance photodetectors due to their wide operating wavelength and potential to integrate with silicon photonics. However, due to their limited atomic thickness and short carrier lifetime, they suffer from high driving source-drain voltages, weak light-matter interactions and low carrier collection efficiency. Here, we present a high-performance van der Waals (vdWs) heterostructure-based photodetector integrated on a silicon nitride photonic platform combining p-type black phosphorus (BP) and n-type molybdenum disulfide (MoS). Owing to the efficient carrier separation process and dark current suppression at the junction interface of the vdWs heterostructure, high photodetectivity and a fast response speed can be achieved. A fast response time (∼2.08/3.54 μs), high responsivity (11.26 mA W), and a high light on/off ratio (10) operating in the near-infrared telecom band are obtained at zero bias. Our research highlights the great potential of the high-efficiency waveguide-integrated vdWs heterojunction photodetector for integrated optoelectronic systems, such as high-data-rate interconnects operated at standardized telecom wavelengths.

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.

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.
