Enhanced Capacity Retention of Li3V2(PO4)3-Cathode-Based Lithium Metal Battery Using SiO2-Scaffold-Confined Ionic Liquid as Hybrid Solid-State Electrolyte

Li3V2(PO4)3 (LVP) is one of the candidates for high-energy-density cathode materials matching lithium metal batteries due to its high operating voltage and theoretical capacity. However, the inevitable side reactions of LVP with a traditional liquid-state electrolyte under high voltage, as well as the uncontrollable growth of lithium dendrites, worsen the cycling performance. Herein, a hybrid solid-state electrolyte is prepared by the confinement of a lithium-containing ionic liquid with a mesoporous SiO2 scaffold, and used for a LVP-cathode-based lithium metal battery. The solid-state electrolyte not only exhibits a high ionic conductivity of 3.14 × 10−4 S cm−1 at 30 °C and a wide electrochemical window of about 5 V, but also has good compatibility with the LVP cathode material. Moreover, the cell paired with a solid-state electrolyte exhibits good reversibility and can realize a stable operation at a voltage of up to 4.8 V, and the discharge capacity is well-maintained after 100 cycles, which demonstrates excellent capacity retention. As a contrast, the cell paired with a conventional liquid-state electrolyte shows only an 87.6% discharge capacity retention after 100 cycles. In addition, the effectiveness of a hybrid solid-state electrolyte in suppressing dendritic lithium is demonstrated. The work presents a possible choice for the use of a hybrid solid-state electrolyte compatible with high-performance cathode materials in lithium metal batteries.

Assessment of Radiologic Extranodal Extension Using Combinatorial Analysis of Nodal Margin Breakdown and Metastatic Burden in Oropharyngeal Cancer

Simple Summary The presence of extranodal extension is a significant prognostic factor in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Despite its significance as a prognostic factor, the predictive efficacy of preoperative ENE outcomes falls short of clinical expectations. The aim of this study was to examine the nodal margin-related feature and nodal tumor burden-related feature to enhance the predictive power of preoperative ENE. The study revealed that the inclusion of both margin and burden-related features resulted in higher predictive power compared with the use of either feature alone in predicting ENE. It would be beneficial to incorporate nodal tumor burden assessment in addition to nodal margin evaluation to enhance the accuracy of ENE prediction. Abstract The importance of risk stratification in the management of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is becoming increasingly obvious with the growing evidence of its variable prognosis. We identified and evaluated imaging characteristics predictive of extranodal extension (ENE) in OPSCC. Preoperative computed tomography and histopathologic results of 108 OPSCC patients who underwent neck dissection as primary treatment were analyzed. Imaging characteristics were reassessed for factors associated with nodal margin breakdown and metastatic burden. Moreover, the predictability of pathological ENE (pENE) was analyzed. Univariate and multivariate binomial logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the predictive power of ENE-related radiologic features. Imaging-based characteristics showed variable degrees of association with pENE. Factors associated with nodal margin breakdown (indistinct capsular contour, irregular margin, and perinodal fat stranding) and factors associated with nodal burden (nodal matting, lower neck metastasis, and presence of >4 lymph node metastases) were significantly predictive of ENE (odds ratio (OR) = 11.170 and 12.121, respectively). The combined utilization of the nodal margin and burden factors further increased the predictive ability (OR = 14.710). Factors associated with nodal margin breakdown and nodal burden were associated with pENE, demonstrating the use of combinatorial analysis for more accurate ENE prediction.
Asymptotic stabilization of stochastic high-order upper-triangular nonlinear systems with input time-varying delay

Based on the homogeneous domination approach and stochastic nonlinear time-delay system stability criterion, this paper investigates the global state-feedback stabilization problem for a class of stochastic high-order upper-triangular nonlinear systems with input time-varying delay. By skilfully choosing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasoviskii functional and successfully solving several troublesome obstacles in the design and analysis procedure, a delay-independent state-feedback controller is designed to render the closed-loop system globally asymptotically stable in probability. The simulation example is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design scheme.
Study of requirements and performances of the electromagnetic calorimeter for the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab

In this thesis we discuss the simulation and tests carried out for the optimization and design of the electromagnetic calorimeter for the Mu2e (Muon to electron conversion) experiment, which is a proposed experiment part of the Muon Campus hosted at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) in Batavia, United States. Elementary particles come in two main families: quarks and leptons. However, while quarks can morph from one family member to another through the CKM matrix and neutrinos oscillate through the PMNS matrix, charged leptons (e, μ and τ) seem to behave differently: charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) has not yet been observed. Although the Standard Model is very well tested in many regimes, it is probably incomplete. In many of the Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios, rates for CLFV processes are within the reach of the next generation of experiments (Mu2e, COMET). Moreover, many CLFV searches have a sensitivity to New Physics which even exceeds the reach of the LHC. In this context indirect measures of CLFV should be crucial evidence of New Physics. Mu2e proposes to measure the ratio of the rate of the neutrinoless conversion of muons into electrons in the field of a nucleus, relative to the rate of ordinary muon capture on the nucleus: Rμe = μ− + A(Z,N)→ e− + A(Z,N) μ− + A(Z,N)→ νμ + A(Z − 1,N) . The signature of this process is a mono-energetic electron with an energy nearly equivalent to the muon rest mass. At the moment of editing, Mu2e has reached the CD2/3a stage of approval by the United States Department of Energy and the building construction is planned to start next year. The data-taking is foreseen for 2020 in the current schedule. Mu2e should collect 7.52 · 1017 stopped muons in 2 years of running, expecting to improve the result of previous generation experiments (SINDRUM II) by a factor 104 (from Rμe < 7 · 10−13 to Rμe < 2.87 · 10−17). The work is organized in 6 chapters.

Prevalence of Hepatitis B Virus, Human Immune Deficiency Virus and Associated Risk Factors Among Individuals with Presumptive Pulmonary Tuberculosis Attending at Saint Peter’s Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis are the causes of widely spread infectious disease, especially in resource-limited countries. The extent of HBV infection and its contributing factors among people with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) were not adequately addressed. Objective To assess the prevalence of HBV, HIV & their associated risk factors and the magnitude of TB among individuals with presumptive pulmonary tuberculosis attending at St. Peter’s Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 387 individuals with presumptive PTB from October to December 2020. A standard questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic data and associated risk factors. Sputum samples were analyzed by GeneXpert, Florescent Microscopy and Ziehl-Nelson staining technique. HBsAg test was carried out using Murex Version 3 ELISA test kit from serum/Plasma samples, HIV testing was performed by rapid HIV test kits and data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Results The mean age of study participants was 44.2 years. Overall, 14 (3.6%), 28 (7.2%) and 37 (9.6%) of them were positive for HBV, HIV & TB, respectively. Only single patient was HBV-HIV co-infected (0.3%). The TB-HIV co-infection was identified in 6 (1.6%). In multivariate analysis, being partner separated, alcohol consumption, body piercing and having multiple sexual partners were significantly associated with HBV infection. Having a spouse, who is divorced, widowed, sharing scissors, alcohol consumption and contact with multiple sexual partners also significantly associated with HIV infection. Conclusion This study showed that HBV, HIV and TB are still public health issues that need awareness and health education on the risky behaviors and transmission of HBV, HIV & TB among individuals with presumptive TB suspects. Further large-scale study is necessary.
Meropenem Pharmacokinetics and Target Attainment in Critically Ill Patients

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetics and target attainment of meropenem and compare the effect of meropenem dosing regimens in critically ill patients. Patients and Methods Thirty-seven critically ill patients who were administered meropenem in intensive care units were analyzed. Patients were classified according to their renal function. Pharmacokinetic parameters were assessed based on Bayesian estimation. The target attainment of 40%fT > MIC (fraction time that the free concentration exceeds the minimum inhibitory concentration) and 100%fT > MIC with the pathogen MIC of 2 mg/L and 8 mg/L were specially focused. Furthermore, the effects of standard dosing (1g meropenem, 30 min intravenous infusion every 8h) and non-standard dosing (dosage regimens except standard dosing) were compared. Results The results showed that the values of meropenem clearance (CL), central volume of distribution (V1), intercompartmental clearance (Q), and peripheral volume of distribution (V2) were 3.3 L/h, 9.2 L, 20.1 L/h and 12.8 L, respectively. The CL of the patients among renal function groups was significantly different (p < 0.001). The tow targets attainment for the pathogen MIC of 2 mg/L and 8 mg/L were 89%, 73%, 49% and 27%, respectively. The severe renal impairment group has higher fraction of target attainment than the other group. The standard dosing achieved the target of 40%fT > 2/8 mg/L (85.7% and 81%, respectively) and patients with severe renal impairment achieved the target fraction of 100% for 40%fT > MIC. Additionally, there was no significant difference between standard and non-standard dosing group in target attainment. Conclusion Our findings indicate that renal function is an important covariate for both meropenem pharmacokinetics parameters and target attainment. The target attainment between standard and non-standard dosing group was not comparable. Therefore, therapeutic drug monitoring is indispensable in the dosing adjustment for critically ill patients if it is available.
Cognitive Functions, Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms After One Year of CPAP Treatment in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Objective The study worked with depressive symptoms, anxiety score and cognitive functions in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients treated with CPAP. Methods Eighty-one subjects with OSA and without psychiatric comorbidity were treated with CPAP for one year and completed the following scales and cognitive tests: Trail Making Test, Verbal Fluency Test, d2 Test, Beck Depression Inventory-II and Beck Anxiety Inventory. MINI ruled out psychiatric disorder. At the two months check-up, subjects were re-evaluated for depressive and anxiety symptoms, and after one year of CPAP treatment, subjects repeated cognitive tests and scales. Data about therapy adherence and effectiveness were obtained from the patient’s CPAP machines. Results The study was completed by 59 CPAP adherent patients and eight non-adherent patients. CPAP therapy effectiveness was verified in all patients by decreasing the apnea-hypopnoea index below 5 and/or 10% of baseline values. The adherent patients significantly improved depressive and anxiety symptoms. There was also an improvement in overall performance in the attention test; however, performance in many individual items did not change. The adherent patients also improved verbal fluency and in the Part B of the Trail making test. The non-adherent group significantly increased the number of mistakes made in the d2 test; other results were non-significant. Conclusion According to our results, OSA patients’ mood, anxiety and certain cognitive domains improved during the one-year therapy with CPAP. Trial Registration Number NCT03866161.
Outcomes and Risk Factor Analysis of Plastic Bronchitis Among 321 Children with Influenza Pneumonia After Bronchoscopy Examination

Background Plastic bronchitis (PB) is a rare and severe lung disease. It can be triggered by influenza virus infection, which is a common respiratory infection in children. Bronchoscopy can aid in the early detection and treatment of PB. However, the outcomes and risk for PB development in pediatric patients with influenza virus infection are not fully understood. Methods Data from 321 children diagnosed with influenza virus pneumonia who underwent bronchoscopy examinations between 1st January, 2009 and 31st December, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed to assess the outcomes and risk factors associated with PB development. Results This study included 97 girls and 224 boys with influenza virus pneumonia with a median age of 42 months. Among them, 36 patients (11.2%) were categorized as having PB based on bronchoscopy findings. PB patients had significantly longer fever durations (p=0.010) and higher risks of developing severe conditions including respiratory failure (p<0.001), acute respiratory distress syndrome (p<0.001), and air-leak syndrome (p<0.001) compared to non-PB patients. Conventional treatment including the use of neuraminidase inhibitors and antibiotics did not differ between the PB and non-PB patients, but PB patients required more anti-inflammatory treatment (p=0.019) and ventilator support (p<0.001). Combined univariate and multivariate analyses suggested that radiographic findings, including mediastinal emphysema (p=0.012) and lung consolidation (p=0.012), as well as increased levels of neutrophils (p=0.026), aspartate aminotransferase (p=0.004), and lactate dehydrogenase (p<0.001), were identified as risk factors for PB development in patients with influenza virus pneumonia. Although PB patients required more intensive care and had longer hospital stays, they all recovered well after treatment. Conclusion Influenza virus infection is linked to PB development in children. Identifying risk factors and early intervention such as bronchoscopy can improve the prognosis of children with PB.
Measuring Inequality Using Censored Data: A Multiple Imputation Approach

To measure income inequality with right-censored (top-coded) data, we propose multiple-imputation methods for estimation and inference. Censored observations are multiply imputed using draws from a flexible parametric model fitted to the censored distribution, yielding a partially synthetic data set from which point and variance estimates can be derived using complete-data methods and appropriate combination formulae. The methods are illustrated using US Current Population Survey data and the generalized beta of the second kind distribution as the imputation model. With Current Population Survey internal data, we find few statistically significant differences in income inequality for pairs of years between 1995 and 2004. We also show that using Current Population Survey public use data with cell mean imputations may lead to incorrect inferences. Multiply-imputed public use data provide an intermediate solution.
Dupilumab‐associated ocular adverse events are predicted by low tear break‐up time and correlate with high IL‐33 tear concentrations in patients with atopic dermatitis

Dupilumab, blocking IL‐4 and IL‐13 signals, improves atopic dermatitis and Quality of Life but might be also associated with the occurrence of ocular adverse events (OAEs). The main objective of our prospective study was to characterize the cytokine and chemokine profile in the tear fluid of dupilumab‐treated patients with moderate‐to‐ severe atopic dermatitis and to identify biomarkers predicting the occurrence of ocular adverse events. Patients with moderate‐to‐severe AD underwent dermatological and ophthalmological evaluation at the baseline (T0) and week 16 or at the time of an eventual ocular adverse events (T1). A multiplex immunoassay measuring multiple cytokines and chemokines in the tear fluid extracted during ocular examination at both T0 and T1 was performed. Thirty‐nine patients with moderate‐to‐severe AD and treated with dupilumab were included in the study. Baseline tear fluid levels revealed a significantly higher concentration of type 2 cytokines and chemokines in AD patients than healthy controls. The occurrence of ocular adverse events during dupilumab therapy was associated with a significant increase of IL‐33 tear fluid levels and a significantly lower tear break‐up time, this latter also identified as predictive factor. Our findings suggest that the ophthalmological examination should be considered a valid support to identify patients at risk of developing OAEs and to provide their appropriate management.
Advances in the treatment and management of frontotemporal dementia

ABSTRACT Introduction Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by a wide range of pathological conditions associated with the buildup of proteins such as tau and TDP-43. With a strong hereditary component, FTD often results from genetic variants in three genes - MAPT, GRN, and C9orf72. Areas covered In this review, the authors explore abnormal protein accumulation in FTD and forthcoming treatments, providing a detailed analysis of new diagnostic advancements, including innovative markers. They analyze how these discoveries have influenced therapeutic strategies, particularly disease-modifying treatments, which could potentially transform FTD management. This comprehensive exploration of FTD from its molecular underpinnings to its therapeutic prospects offers a compelling overview of the current state of FTD research. Expert opinion Notable challenges in FTD management involve identifying reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis and response monitoring. Genetic forms of FTD, particularly those linked to C9orf72 and GRN, show promise, with targeted therapies resulting in substantial progress in disease-modifying strategies. The potential of neuromodulation techniques, like tDCS and rTMS, is being explored, requiring further study. Ongoing trials and multi-disciplinary care highlight the continued push toward effective FTD treatments. With increasing understanding of FTD’s molecular and clinical intricacies, the hope for developing effective interventions grows.
