Top-gate staggered hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated over large-area glass substrates using a selective phosphorus-treatment (PT) of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) source/drain electrodes. The ohmic contact between a-Si:H and ITO had specific resistivity about 0.18 Ω·cm 2 . For 100-µm channel length TFT, the series resistance contributes less than 5% total drain-to-source resistance. This contribution increases to 25% for 10-µm TFT. Our study also...
Abstract Brief exposure of skin to near-infrared (NIR) laser light has been shown augment the immune response intradermal vaccination and thus act as an immunologic adjuvant. Although evidence indicates that NIR adjuvant capacity activate innate subsets including dendritic cells (DCs) in conventional adjuvants do, precise immunological mechanism by which acts is largely unknown. In this study we sought identify cellular target using established mouse model influenza examining alteration...
Background and Objectives: Condoliase, a chondroitin sulfate ABC endolyase, is novel minimally invasive chemonucleolytic drug for lumbar disc herniation. Despite the growing number of treatments herniation, predicting factors poor outcomes following treatment remain unclear. The aim this study was to determine predictive unsuccessful clinical outcome condoliase therapy. Material Methods: We performed retrospective single-center analysis 101 patients who underwent chemonucleolysis with from...
Predicting the progression of hip osteoarthritis (OA) remains challenging, and no reliable predictive method has been established. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model predict OA via plain radiographs patient data determine its accuracy.
Background: Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a rare sterile inflammatory disease characterized by cutaneous osteoarticular lesions. Associated spinal lesions chronically manifest slight or no neurological symptoms. Only rarely does destructive spondylodiscitis occur. Case Description: A 62-year-old female with palmoplantar pustulosis presented rapidly progressive quadriparesis. When the cervical MR showed at C5–C7 level, patient underwent anterior...
This study is aimed toward development of the system which supports early rehabilitation training upper-limbs paralysis. The form covered handedness exchange. Among for functional impairments to a person's dominant hand, in addition targeting affected area, there also that aims enable person use their other (non-dominant) hand instead. exchange bring out potential capability non-dominant hand. involves practicing manipulating chopsticks and penmanship practice, because it requires...
Abstract High‐performance top‐gate hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a‐Si:H) thin‐film transistor (TFT) structures have been fabricated over a large area from plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) materials. The electrical performances of the a‐Si:H TFT (μ FE ≅0.75cm 2 /Vsec, V T ≅3.5V, S ≅0.55V/dec) are comparable to observed for an inverted‐staggered bottom‐gate TFT. We shown that field‐effect mobility first increases with thickness, and then decreases thicker films. This change...
Central nervous system (CNS) mature teratoma is a rare disease with symptoms that can vary according to tumor location. Most lesions are benign; rarely, malignancy develop in any of the somatic components. Elevated levels markers such as α-fetoprotein and β-human chorionic gonadotropin not usually found patients CNS teratoma, no reports have described an association carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9).A 64-year-old woman headache was mass lesion anterior cranial fossa. Magnetic resonance...
This paper proposes a new optical biosensor composed of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) p–n junction photodiode (PD) with surface plasmon (SP) antenna. When the phase-matching condition between two lateral wavelengths diffracted light from SP antenna and waveguiding mode in SOI PD is satisfied, we observe sharp peaks spectroscopic sensitivity. Since peak wavelength depends on RI change around corresponding to condition, PDs an can be applied biosensor. The detection limit evaluated measurements...
A wide variety of conditions can cause recurrent postoperative lumbar radiculopathy.A 49-year-old female developed sudden right leg pain after a right-sided L5S1 microdiskectomy for herniated disc. Emergent magnetic resonance and computed tomography studies demonstrated migration the drainage tube into lateral recess compromising S1 nerve root. Following drain removal, patient's reg immediately resolved.Migration wound operated following diskectomy may result in acute, recurrent/intractable...
Iatrogenic dural tear is usually recognized during the surgery. We describe a rare case of unrecognized caused by percutaneous endoscopic lumbar surgery at another hospital clearly confirmed with dynamic myelography. Although magnetic resonance imaging spine showed no obvious fluid collection suggesting tear, myelography revealed leakage intradural subarachnoid contrast medium along root sleeve into intervertebral disc space. In setting surgery, incidental might be overlooked due to narrow...
Background: Retro-odontoid pseudotumors (ROPs) typically present as a single mass posterior to the odontoid ranging from isointense hypointense relative on T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI T1WI). Here, patient with ROP exhibited double-layer sign MRI T1WI characterized by an initial ventral layer process followed secondary dorsal layer. Case Description: An 84-year-old male presented cervical myelopathy attributed resulting in atlantoaxial instability dynamic X-ray studies,...
Spinal synovial cysts, attributed to degenerative changes of the facet joints, commonly occur at sites segmental spinal instability. Here, we present a patient with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) who developed T10/T11 cyst contributing myelopathy that resolved following surgical excision.A 69-year-old male presented progressive numbness and paraparesis for 2-month duration. The thoracic MR spine showed level, while computed tomography confirmed DISH fusion between T4 T10...
