Abstract To realize the potential of artificial intelligence in medical imaging, improvements imaging capabilities are required, as well advances computing power and algorithms. Hybrid inorganic–organic metal halide perovskites, such methylammonium lead triiodide (MAPbI 3 ), offer strong X-ray absorption, high carrier mobilities ( µ ) long lifetimes τ they promising materials for use imaging. However, their incorporation into pixelated sensing arrays remains challenging. Here we show that...
Cancer patients are at a higher risk of developing severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the safety and efficacy COVID-19 vaccination in cancer undergoing treatment remain unclear.In this interventional prospective multicohort study, priming booster doses BNT162b2 vaccine were administered 21 days apart to solid tumor receiving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted or hormonal therapy, with hematologic malignancy rituximab after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell...
This qualitative study explored barriers and enabling factors to the implementation of an oral hygiene protocol in nursing homes.Oral health care homes Flanders (Belgium) is inadequate.Qualitative data were obtained from nurses employed 13 involved two randomised controlled trials Flanders-Belgium. Data collected by focus group face-to-face interviews during April 2005 December 2009. All transcripts analysed with support NVivo 8 (Version 2008). Transcripts intuitively a two-step method.Most...
Abstract Organic photodetectors (OPDs) have attracted much attention in recent years, due to their promise large‐area light sensing applications. Here, high‐resolution slot‐die‐coated bulk heterojunction organic photodiode (OPD) arrays are reported. The OPD uses a novel electron transport layer, indium gallium zinc oxide combination with molybdenum top‐electrode. Together, these effectively reduce dark current densities very low levels of ≈10 −7 mA cm −2 at V. OPDs show linear behavior wide...
Abstract Reflectance oximeters based on organic photodiode (OPD) arrays offer the potential to map blood pulsation and oxygenation via photoplethysmography (PPG) over a large area beyond traditional sensing locations. Here, an reflectance PPG array 16 × OPD pixels is developed. The individual exhibit near‐infrared sensitivity up ≈950 nm low dark current density in order of 10 −6 mA cm −2 . This results high‐quality signals. Analysis full waveform yields insight artery stiffness quality...
Abstract We combine a low dark current and high‐detectivity near‐infrared (NIR)‐sensitive organic photodetector with high‐resolution 508 pixels per inch (ppi) oxide thin‐film transistor (TFT) backplane to create large‐area thin NIR detector, using processes that are compatible flat‐panel display fabrication. The detector is characterized showing high uniformity linearity. With the use of light source, capable imaging (pattern of) veins under skin in reflection, leading improved biometric...
Abstract Objectives Patient risk management is an essential subject for clinical laboratory which now central in main international quality standards (e.g., ISO 15989:2022; 22367:2020 and CLSI EP23 2nd ). Risk analysis a necessary part of requires categorizing the severity patient harm from failure. However, this subjective task not currently any recommendation little literature about topic. To remedy that, we conducted survey medical biology professionals, asking them to rate panel 20...
To explore perspectives of Turkish migrants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on adherence to oral hypoglycaemic agents (OHA).In-depth interviews 21 T2DM patients descent recruited from primary care and community sources in Ghent, Belgium, using a theoretical sampling procedure. Analysis was guided by grounded theory approach, Nvivo 8.Respondents reported multitude barriers facilitators OHA. Some these are distinctive for descent. Respondents' causal beliefs about stress the Belgian...
Using flat‐panel compatible processes we realized 6x8 cm, 200‐ppi active‐matrix imagers with solution‐processed, ultrathin organic photodiodes and demonstrate its performance in a biometric palmprint detector.
Abstract Hadron therapy is an advanced radiation modality for treating cancer, which currently uses protons and carbon ions. Hadrons allow a highly conformal dose distribution to the tumour, minimising detrimental side-effects due received by healthy tissues. Treatment with hadrons requires sub-millimetre spatial resolution high dosimetric accuracy. This paper discusses design, fabrication performance tests of detector based on Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) coupled matrix thin-film...
Purpose: Patients with cancer display reduced humoral responses after double-dose COVID-19 vaccination, whereas their cellular response is more comparable that in healthy individuals. Recent studies demonstrated a third vaccination dose boosts these immune responses, both people and patients cancer. Because of the availability many different vaccines, have been boosted vaccine from one used for vaccination. Data on such alternative schedules are scarce. This prospective study compares...
Vein grafting is a frequently used surgical intervention for cardiac revascularization. However, vein grafts display regions with intraplaque (IP) angiogenesis, which promotes atherogenesis and formation of unstable plaques. Graft neovessels are mainly composed endothelial cells (ECs) that largely depend on glycolysis migration proliferation. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether loss glycolytic flux enzyme phosphofructokinase-2/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) in ECs...
