The data are acquired from three EC porous films where the HPC phases have been leached out. The three data sets have varying porosities in a range of interest for controlled drug release applications. We demonstrate very good agreement with manual segmentations. In particular, we demonstrate an improvement in comparison to previous work on the same data sets that utilized a random forest classifier trained on Gaussian scale-space features. Finally, we facilitate further development of FIB-SEM segmentation methods by making the data and software used open access.Wide bandgap oxide semiconductors constitute a unique class of materials that combine properties of electrical conductivity and optical transparency. They are being widely used as key materials in optoelectronic device applications, including flat-panel displays, solar cells, OLED, and emerging flexible and transparent electronics. In this article, an up-to-date review on both the fundamental understanding of materials physics of oxide semiconductors, and recent research progress on design of new materials and high-performing thin film transistor (TFT) devices in the context of fundamental understanding is presented. In particular, an in depth overview is first provided on current understanding of the electronic structures, defect and doping chemistry, optical and transport properties of oxide semiconductors, which provide essential guiding principles for new material design and device optimization. With these principles, recent advances in design of p-type oxide semiconductors, new approaches for achieving cost-effective transparent (flexible) electrodes, and the creation of high mobility 2D electron gas (2DEG) at oxide surfaces and interfaces with a wealth of fascinating physical properties of great potential for novel device design are then reviewed. Finally, recent progress and perspective of oxide TFT based on new oxide semiconductors, 2DEG, and low-temperature solution processed oxide semiconductor for flexible electronics will be reviewed.
To assess the oncological outcome and prognostic factors for primary Oral Squamous Cell Cancer (OSCC) staged as per AJCC 8th pTNM, and treated by the contemporary standard of primary surgery and pathology directed adjuvant radiation-chemoradiation.

A single institution cohort from a tertiary care academic institution in North India. Case inclusion 2013 to 2016; n = 218, median follow-up 35 months. All patients were restaged as per the AJCC 8th pTNM classification. Analysis for Overall Survival (OS), Disease-free Survival(DFS), and factors impacting outcome (Cox proportionate model Multivariate analysis).

AJCC pTNM 7th to 8th edition conversion led to upstaging in 16.5%. Wnt inhibitor Stage-II demonstrated greatest stage migration and apparent improvement in OS and DFS (P < .09). Discordance was noted between the presurgical (clinico-radiologic) and postsurgical (pathological) nodal status in 40.3% (88/218; 54 pathologically upstaged;34 downstaged). Pathological downstaging was particularly significant with advanced stage Gingivo-Buccal Cancers (25/73-34.7%). Stage-I-II early cancers had 3 years. OS-86.7% and DFS-78.8%; Stage-III-IV advanced cancers had 3 years. link2 OS-56.7% and DFS-46.6%. Multivariate analysis identified poorer OS and DFS for age < 40 years (HR-1.8; 2.0), skin involvement (HR-2.1; 2.6) and pN+ status (HR-2.4; 3.5). Bone involvement did not compromise survival in this surgically treated set of patients.

Age < 45 is newly identified as significantly compromising DFS and OS in Oral Cancer. link3 Established factors of skin involvement and pN+ are confirmed as impacting DFS-OS. An apparent improvement in survival in Stage II Cancers is noted as consequent to adoption of AJCC 8th edition staging.

Research has identified the United States (U.S.) as a global outlier in its firearm ownership rates, with a correspondingly higher risk of youth firearm violence compared to other countries. The relative extent of disparities in youth firearm violence within the U.S. has been less clear. Little is known about factors in the social ecology driving these disparities and whether current firearm violence prevention approaches sufficiently address them.

Applying a health disparities framework, we synthesized epidemiological, sociological, and prevention science literatures, emphasizing structural inequalities in youth sociocultural positionality in life course developmental context. We also highlighted findings from national injury data and other studies regarding the magnitude and impacts of youth firearm violence disparities.

The burden of firearm violence varied markedly at intersections of gender, race, place, developmental stage, and homicidal or suicidal intent. Firearm homicide among Black boys and yoe among Black boys and young men and firearm suicide among Native and rural White boys and young men is urgently needed and has potential to substantially lower overall rates of firearm violence in the U.S.
Hysterectomy has been one of the most common surgical procedures in women in Finland. We studied the population-based trends of hysterectomy and its indications from 1986 to 2017.

A retrospective population-based cohort was created from the Care Register for Health Care by identifying women who had a hysterectomy from 1986 to 2017 and calculating the number of women from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency. We estimated the number and incidence of hysterectomy by period and age as well as by indication. We considered the primary diagnosis at the time of surgery as the indication of hysterectomy.

The number of hysterectomies increased from 7492 procedures in 1986 to 12404 procedures in 1998, and reduced substantially after that to 5971 procedures in 2017, the turning point being in 1999. The incidence rate of hysterectomy has decreased on average by 2.5% annually from 432.6 per 100000 women in 1998-2001 to 224.5 per 100000 women in 2014-2017. The median age at the time of hysterectomy has incsult of the availability of hormonal and other conservative treatment options for bleeding disorders and uterine fibroids. As hysterectomy practically removes the risk for endometrial cancer, the change in hysterectomy incidence over time emphasizes the importance of correcting endometrial cancer incidence according to hysterectomy incidence.
To assess rates of and factors associated with traversing fundamental barriers to good medical outcomes and pharmacologic care in individuals with episodic migraine (EM) and chronic migraine (CM), including socioeconomic status and race.

Barriers to good outcomes in migraine include the lack of appropriate medical consultation, failure to receive an accurate diagnosis, not being offered a regimen with acute and preventive pharmacologic treatments (if indicated), and not avoiding medication overuse.

The Chronic Migraine Epidemiology and Outcomes (CaMEO) Study was a longitudinal Internet-based survey. Respondents who met criteria for migraine consistent with the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition, had a Migraine Disability Assessment score≥6, and provided health insurance coverage status were included in this analysis. Successfully traversing each barrier to care and the effects of sociodemographic characteristics were examined.

Among 16,789 respondents with migraine, 9184 (of all appropriate guideline-based treatment, and avoidance of medication overuse.
Efforts to improve care should focus on increasing consultation and diagnosis rates, improving the delivery of all appropriate guideline-based treatment, and avoidance of medication overuse.Through-focus scanning optical microscopy (TSOM) is a model-based nanoscale metrology technique which combines conventional bright-field microscopy and the relevant numerical simulations. A TSOM image is generated after through-focus scanning and data processing. However, the mechanical vibration and optical noise introduced into the TSOM image during image generation can affect the measurement accuracy. To reduce this effect, this paper proposes a imaging error compensation method for the TSOM image based on deep learning with U-Net. Here, the simulated TSOM image is regarded as the ground truth, and the U-Net is trained using the experimental TSOM images by means of a supervised learning strategy. The experimental TSOM image is first encoded and then decoded with the U-shaped structure of the U-Net. The difference between the experimental and simulated TSOM images is minimised by iteratively updating the weights and bias factors of the network, to obtain the compensated TSOM image. The proposed method is applied for optimising the TSOM images for nanoscale linewidth estimation. The results demonstrate that the proposed method performs as expected and provides a significant enhancement in accuracy.
To estimate time to onset of cannabidiol (CBD) treatment effect (seizure reduction and adverse events [AEs]), we conducted post hoc analyses of data from two randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 trials, GWPCARE3 (NCT02224560) and GWPCARE4 (NCT02224690), of patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

Patients received plant-derived pharmaceutical formulation of highly purified CBD (Epidiolex, 100mg/ml oral solution) at 10mg/kg/day (CBD10; GWPCARE3) or 20mg/kg/day (CBD20; both trials) or placebo for 14weeks. Treatment started at 2.5mg/kg/day for all groups and reached 10mg/kg/day on Day 7 and 20mg/kg/day (CBD20 and matching placebo only) on Day 11. Percentage change from baseline in drop seizure frequency was calculated by cumulative day (i.e., including all previous days). Time to onset and resolution of AEs were evaluated.

Overall, 235 patients received CBD (CBD10 [GWPCARE3 only], n=67; CBD20 [pooled GWPCARE3&4], n=168) and 161 received placebo. Mean (range) age was 15.3years (2.6-48.0). Patients had ved within the 14-week period.
Evaluate resident perception on implementation of a night float (NF) system to an otolaryngology residency program. We compared these perceptions to Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) case log data.

A retrospective anonymous survey was sent to residents and alumni graduating between 2015 and 2023. Deidentified ACGME case log information was then examined for key indicator (KI) cases from post graduate year (PGY) 2 and PGY5.

Thirty (93.8%) residents and alumni responded. Residents with NF answered more positively compared to those without NF on following duty hour violations 80-hour work week, 1-in-7 days off, 1 call every 3 days, adequate time between shifts, and allotted time after a 24-hour shift. Residents most commonly agreed that NF has improved patient care, resident education, and resident morale. Although residents with NF were neutral on PGY2 case volume effects, they disagreed that it affected overall case volume. The only KIs that differed for both PGY2 and PGY5s were airway cases (P = .004 vs P = .002) and bronchoscopy (P = .02 vs P = .006), which were significantly higher for those with NF. Thyroid surgery was the only KI higher for the residents without NF and spanned all PGY levels.

Residents and alumni agreed that NF implementation had a positive effect on duty hour violations. The NF system does not have significant impact on case volume.
