Graphene is a promising flexible transparent electrode, and significant progress in graphene-based optoelectronic devices has been accomplished by reducing the sheet resistance and tuning the work function. Herein, phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) is proposed as a novel p-type chemical dopant for graphene, and the optical and electrical properties of graphene are investigated systematically. As a result, the monolayer graphene electrode with lower sheet resistance and work function are obtained while maintaining a high transmittance. The Raman spectrum proves the p-type doping effect of PMA on graphene, and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results reveal the mechanism, which is that the electrons transfer from graphene to PMA through the Mo-O-C bond. Furthermore, using the PMA-doped graphene anode, organic and perovskite light-emitting diodes obtained the maximum efficiencies of 129.3 and 15.6 cd/A with an increase of 50.8 and 36.8% compared with the pristine counterparts, respectively. This work confirms that PMA is a potential p-type chemical dopant to achieve an ideal graphene electrode and demonstrates the feasibility of PMA-doped graphene in the practical application of next-generation displays and solid-state lighting.A uniform ceramic tape of well-dispersed garnet-type Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 particles (LLZTO) with a high solid content of 70 wt % is prepared as an electrolyte in solid-state Li-S batteries. The use of appropriate dispersants is crucial for achieving fine dispersion and uniform distribution of LLZTO particles in the ceramic tape. This leads to improved surface flatness and mechanical strength of the ceramic tape. Moreover, the ionic conductivity increases remarkably at the same time from 10-5 to 10-4 to 10-4 to 10-3 S cm-1, and the Li+ transport number doubles from 0.35 to 0.70. The Li-S battery constructed with the dispersed LLZTO electrolyte shows an adequate capacity of above 600 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at a discharge current of 84 mA g-1, and it is capable of charging/discharging at a high current of 1672 mA g-1. In comparison, the battery with a nondispersed LLZTO electrolyte functions only at the lower current of 84 mA g-1 and fails to work after 25 cycles.We consider the variables relevant to adsorption of renewable nanoparticles and stabilization of multiphase systems, including the particle's hydrophilicity, electrostatic charge, axial aspect, and entanglement. Exploiting the complexation of two oppositely charged nanopolysaccharides, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) and nanochitin (NCh), we prepared CNF/NCh aqueous suspensions and identified the conditions for charge balance (turbidity and electrophoretic mobility titration). By adjusting the composition of CNF/NCh complexes, below and above net neutrality conditions, we produced sunflower oil-in-water Pickering emulsions with adjustable droplet diameters and stability against creaming and oiling-off. The adsorption of CNF/NCh complexes at the oil/water interface occurred with simultaneous partitioning (accumulation) of the CNF on the surface of the droplets in net negative or positive systems (below and above stochiometric charge balance relative to NCh). We further show that the morphology of the droplets and size distribution were preserved during storage for at least 6 months under ambient conditions. This long-term stability was held with a remarkable tolerance to changes in pH (e.g., 3-11) and ionic strength (e.g., 100-500 mM). STM2457 order The mechanism explaining these observations relates to the adsorption of the CNF in the complexes, counteracting the charge losses resulting from the deprotonation of NCh or charge screening. Overall, CNF/NCh complexes and the respective interfacial nanoparticle exchange greatly extend the conditions, favoring highly stable, green Pickering emulsions that offer potential in applications relevant to foodstuff, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic formulations.The high energy density, low cost, and environmental friendliness of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries enable them to be promising next-generation energy storage systems. However, the commercialization of Li-S batteries is presently hindered by the bottlenecks, such as the low conductivity of sulfur species, shuttle effect of polysulfides, and poor conversion efficiency in discharging/charging processes. Here, on the basis of first-principles calculations, we predicted that the two-dimensional magnetic Fe3GeX2 (X = S, Se, and Te) monolayers are quite promising to overcome the aforesaid problems. The Fe3GeX2 monolayer has metallic electronic structures and moderate binding strength to the soluble lithium polysulfides, which are expected to improve the overall electric conductivity of sulfur species and anchor the soluble lithium polysulfides to suppress the shuttle effect. Remarkably, Fe3GeX2 monolayers show bifunctional electrocatalytic activity to the S reduction reaction and the Li2S decomposition reaction, which improves the conversion efficiency in discharging and charging processes. This finding may open up an avenue for the development of high-performance Li-S batteries.
Seven years after hip arthroscopy for cam impingement, a 47-year-old female patient suffered a valgus impacted femoral neck fracture of her left hip that was stabilized with cannulated screws. After fracture healing, she experienced persisting sharp groin pain that could be elicited in flexion/internal rotation and extension/adduction. We suspected a ligamentum teres impingement at the border of the acetabular fossa due to a post-traumatic fovea alta and performed an arthroscopic ligament resection. Symptoms completely resolved thereafter.

Valgus impacted femoral neck fractures with post-traumatic fovea alta may cause painful ligamentum teres impingement that can be treated with arthroscopic resection.

The etiology of adenomyosis is presently unknown, but some theories assist us in understanding its pathogenesis and natural history. Clinical manifestations are increased menstrual flow and dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, and dyspareunia. The signs and symptoms suggestive of adenomyosis are complemented by diagnostic methods such as transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS), ideally with intestinal preparation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and surgery; although currently, there are no precise criteria for the classification of findings on imaging studies. The clinical and surgical therapeutic approach must be individualized, taking into account the patient's characteristics, for instance, age, parity, depth and number of adenomyotic foci, uterine volume and, mainly, clinical manifestations. A causal relation between adenomyosis and infertility has been repeatedly suggested, mostly due to the anatomo-physiopathological conditions originated by the adenomyosis on the female genital tract; however, definitive conclusions are still lacking.
