Abstract The power conversion efficiency of organic photovoltaics (OPV) has recently surpassed 20%. However, the degradation mechanisms affecting blends based on these materials require urgent attention to improve stability such devices towards long timescales necessary for commercialization. In this work, we evaluated OPVs sustainable and scalable donors poly[(thiophene)‐alt‐(6,7‐difluoro‐2‐(2‐hexyldecyloxy)quinoxaline)] (PTQ10)...
Cancer patients are at high risk of malnutrition and tumor cachexia further increasing morbidity mortality. Reasons for not clear yet, but inflammatory processes as well the occurrence taste disorders reducing nutrient uptake discussed to play key roles. The purpose this study was gain insight into causative factors disturbance in cancer patients. Does itself, or therapy influence disorders? To capture an underlying disorder with (n = 42), acutely hospitalized disease 57) healthy controls...
Introduction In Germany, an efficient and feasible transition from hospital to home for older patients, ensuring continuous care across healthcare settings, has not yet been applied evaluated. Based on the transitional model (TCM), this study aims reduce preventable readmissions of patients ≥75 years age with a intervention performed by geriatric-experienced professionals. The investigates whether ensures during stabilises situation at home. Methods analyses Randomised controlled clinical...
At hospital discharge, many older patients are at health and nutritional risk, indicating a requirement for ongoing care. We aim to evaluate the effects of comprehensive individualized care by geriatric-experienced professionals, so-called “pathfinders”, on status (NS) after discharge. A total 244 (median age 81.0 years) without major cognitive impairment were randomized Intervention Group (IG: 123) or Control (CG: 121) 12-month intervention, with up 7 home visits 11 phone calls. The...
