Article Abstract
The use of subcutaneous ICDs (S-ICD) is growing over years despite increasing alerts on premature battery depletion (PBD) and lead fractures leading to unanticipated device replacements. In our single-centre study including 192 patients, per year analysis demonstrated that incidence of PBD is higher than previously reported with overall greatest battery replacement requirements around the fifth year of follow-up. The underlying issue appears to be limited to old series devices, but only a longer follow-up will clarify the real impact of this phenomenon on patient outcomes. PBD is an underestimated S-ICDs issue and if the hereby demonstrated trend were to be confirmed in latest device series, this would bring significant concerns to patient safety and huge economic expense to health system.

Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) impose an enormous societal and financial burden, and world-wide, alcohol misuse is the 7th leading cause of premature death [1]. Despite this, there are currently only 3 FDA approved pharmacological approaches for the treatment of AUDs in the United States. The neurotensin (Nts) system has long been implicated in modulating behaviors associated with alcohol misuse.

Lithium metal batteries promise high energy density but suffer from unstable solid-electrolyte interphases that promote dendrite growth and premature failure. Here we report a simple drop-casting pretreatment that deposits a uniform layer of nano-sized silicon nitride (SiN <50 nm) onto lithium foil, forming a LiN-rich artificial interphase. Two loadings, 0.

Aqueous electrolytic Zn-MnO batteries hold great promise for energy storage applications owing to their high theoretical electromotive force and energy density. However, the zinc anode suffers from severe corrosion in strongly acidic electrolytes, leading to hydrogen evolution, low zinc utilization, and premature battery failure. To address these challenges, isoquinoline is introduced as an additive in a chloride-based acidic electrolyte.

Ensuring stable frequency regulation in islanded airport microgrids is a challenging task owing to the intermittency of renewable energy sources, unpredictable load variations, and nonlinear dynamics. Conventional optimization techniques often struggle with premature convergence and sub-optimal controller tuning, leading to a poor transient response and inadequate frequency stabilization. These challenges necessitate an advanced optimization strategy that can efficiently handle dynamic airport environments while ensuring enhanced frequency stability.

To address the inherent limitations of layered cathodes in terms of stability, kinetics, and energy density, a high-entropy superlattice layered oxide (KMnLiCoNiFeCuO, KMNCFCL) is proposed as a cathode for K-ion storage. High-entropy composition and [Li─O─K] configuration coupled with Cu─O covalency and local CuO distortion trigger and stabilize lattice oxygen redox through the anionic-cationic redox inversion, essentially a premature ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT), thereby alleviating potential issues of severe voltage hysteresis and capacity fade by restraining oxygen release and cation migration. Superior phase stability and strain tolerance with a solid-solution mechanism benefited from high-entropy stabilization, and "cocktail" effects can be successfully achieved by eliminating serious structural evolutions induced by Jahn-Teller (J-T) lattice distortion, O─O repulsion, and intercalation of electrolyte molecules.
