This advanced technology not only provides an efficient strategy for the preparation of colloidal crystal but also demonstrates a highly thermosensitive structural colored screen that has great prospect for information storage, anticounterfeiting, and real-time display materials.This work reports a three-dimensional (3D) structured multifunctional sensor by connecting a magnetowhisker with a superflexible patterned skin film. Composed of percolation networks of silver nanowires, the patterned skin film is integrated via a simple template manufacturing method without increasing the complexity and sacrificing the flexibility. The as-prepared 3D structured sensor can realize the multimodal detection of out-of-plane tactile stimuli and details of noncontact environmental obstacles in multiple directions. Here, the sensor's perception behaviors on compression, pulling, magnetic field, sound waves, airflow, water level, water flow, and backwash are presented. Furthermore, the 3D structured sensor obtains outstanding mechanical robustness and stability for 8000 cycles, excellent sensitivity (12 800% when the applied pulling displacement was 3.5 mm; 152% T-1 when the magnetic flux density variation was 40.6 mT), ultrahigh response time, and ultrahigh recovery time (∼5 ms), which may meet the industrial sensing requirement for artificial tactile electronics. Facile manufacturing processes and outstanding multimodal sensing characteristics make the 3D structured sensor to possess great potential to be implemented in the next-generation intelligent bionic equipment or systems.The adsorbents for water treatment and purification are commonly not recyclable because of the lack of a reagent-less "switch" to readily release the adsorbed compounds. Herein, the interface of Bi2O2CO3 (BOC) nanosheets is designed, synthesized, and modified with citric acid, namely, modified Bi2O2CO3 (m-BOC). The m-BOC is able to selectively adsorb methylene blue (MB) in the dark and the adsorbed MB could be released in the light from m-BOC without the addition of any chemicals. The adsorption mechanism is attributed to the electrostatic attraction between positively charged MB and the negatively charged surface of m-BOC. In contrast, the desorption of MB has resulted from the photo-induced charge redistribution on the surface of m-BOC, which unlocks the coordination bond between m-BOC and the carboxylic group. As a result, BOC is recycled. Such a mechanism was verified by both experimental investigation and DFT calculation. This work provides a promising interfacial engineering strategy for the remediation of dye-polluted water and smart separation in chemical engineering.The current study describes the development of a disposable paper-based microfluidic system, which unlike its predecessors that are only capable of processing a small amount of fluid, can continuously process the fluid at a high flow rate of up to 1.5 mL/min. The fabrication procedure was clean-room-free and robust, involving the use of a CO2 laser to engrave the microchannels on a paper substrate, followed by alkenyl ketene dimer treatment to hydrophobize the paper and lamination. The microchannel down to a minimum depth of ∼80 μm with an average roughness of ∼8 μm was engraved on the substrate. As a proof of concept, the applicability of this system to enrich the microparticles based on the inertial focusing mechanism was tested. This new generation of paper-based microfluidic system can be potentially used for the diagnostic applications where the analyte is low in quantity and processing a large volume of fluid sample is required.Development of high-entropy alloy (HEA) films is a promising and cost-effective way to incorporate these materials of superior properties in harsh environments. Inflammation inhibitor In this work, a refractory high-entropy alloy (RHEA) film of equimolar CuMoTaWV was deposited on silicon and 304 stainless-steel substrates using DC-magnetron sputtering. A sputtering target was developed by partial sintering of an equimolar powder mixture of Cu, Mo, Ta, W, and V using spark plasma sintering. The target was used to sputter a nanocrystalline RHEA film with a thickness of ∼900 nm and an average grain size of 18 nm. X-ray diffraction of the film revealed a body-centered cubic solid solution with preferred orientation in the (110) directional plane. The nanocrystalline nature of the RHEA film resulted in a hardness of 19 ± 2.3 GPa and an elastic modulus of 259 ± 19.2 GPa. A high compressive strength of 10 ± 0.8 GPa was obtained in nanopillar compression due to solid solution hardening and grain boundary strengthening. The adhesion between the RHEA film and 304 stainless-steel substrates was increased on annealing. For the wear test against the E52100 alloy steel (Grade 25, 700-880 HV) at 1 N load, the RHEA film showed an average coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate of 0.25 (RT) and 1.5 (300 °C), and 6.4 × 10-6 mm3/N m (RT) and 2.5 × 10-5 mm3/N m (300 °C), respectively. The COF was found to be 2 times lower at RT and wear rate 102 times lower at RT and 300 °C than those of 304 stainless steel. This study may lead to the processing of high-entropy alloy films for large-scale industrial applications.COVID-19 has now become a pandemic. It has spread from Wuhan, China, in December 2019 to a large number of countries within three months. The objective of this work is to report the initial experience with epidemiologic and clinical features, as well as with the management of COVID-19 patients in India. This is a descriptive case series of the first 21 COVID-19 infected patients confirmed with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and admitted to a tertiary care centre in India from 01.02.2020 to 19.03.2020. Clinical, laboratory, and radiologic data were collected, including age, sex, nationality, travel history, symptoms, duration of stay, and comorbidities. The mean age of the population was 40.3 years with a male preponderance. Thirteen (62%) patients had recent travel history outside India in the previous 30 days, two thirds of whom had travelled to Italy. The most common symptoms were fever and cough (42.9%) followed by sore throat, headache and breathlessness. Vital and laboratory parameters were preserved ini (Assistant Professor, Anaesthesiology); Naveen KV (Assistant Professor, Anaesthesiology); Amandeep Jaswal (Assistant Professor, Anaesthesiology).OBJECT To summarize the administration model of a COVID-19 designated hospital transformed from a community hospital to improve the emergency capacity of community hospitals and the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of medical staff in the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS Analyze the surrounding environment, ward layout, area management, treatment process, medical staff and patient management of the designated community hospital. RESULTS From February 5, 2020, to February 18, 2020, the designated community hospital has received 198 COVID-19 mild and general patients (including 41 in the hospital at the beginning of the period). Among them, 39 were transferred to module hospitals, 131 were discharged, and 28 were in the hospital at the end of the period, and none of them became severe. There were 41 medical staff, and none of them had COVID-19 infection. CONCLUSIONS We have achieved excellent results in the prevention and control stratagems implemented in this new community-designated hospital that specializes in treating patients with COVID-19. Its diagnosis and treatment model has completed the treatment of COVID- 19 patients successfully. After adjustment, this community hospital can shoulder the critical task of being a designated hospital for COVID-19, which includes admission, isolation, and therapy of suspected and mild COVID-19 patients, reducing the medical burden of superior hospitals. Furthermore, our experience provides concepts for community hospitals to temporarily undertake medical responsibilities to reduce the spread of COVID-19 during the pandemic.BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common among idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. Life expectancy is estimated around 3-5 years at diagnosis. No reliable prognostic biomarker has been approved for routinary clinical practice of IPF. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential prognostic value of serum CD59 in a cohort of IPF patients. METHODS 57 patients (45 males, 66.1 ± 10 years old) were recruited in Siena Regional Referral Centre for Interstitial Lung Disease and underwent serum sampling for CD59 detection during diagnostic pathway. Clinical, functional, radiological and survival data were retrospectively collected. As control group for CD59 vakues, we recruited 8 healthy volunteers (5 males, 59.2 ± 18 years old). RESULTS CD59 levels were significantly higher in IPF patients in respect with healthy controls (p=0.0238). Patients with CD59 concentrations lower than 15 ng/ml reported a significant reduction of survival time (p=0.009); current or former smokers with CD59 less then 15 ng/ml showed the worst prognosis (p=0.014). CONCLUSIONS CD59 levels were significantly increased in IPF patients, supporting the existence of epithelial damage in the pathogenesis of disease. Lower values of CD59 were associated with a significantly worse prognosis, suggesting a potential role of CD59 in the prognostic estimation of IPF patients.In this work, nano-inspired nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO) and polythiophene (Pth) modified bioanode was prepared for biofuel cell applications. The chemically prepared nickel oxide nanoparticles and its composite with polythiophene were characterized for elemental composition and microscopic characterization while using scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical characterizations of polythiophene@NiO composite, biocompatible mediator ferritin (Frt) and glucose oxidase (GOx) catalyst modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode were carried out using cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), and charge-discharge studies. The current density of Pth@NiO/Frt/GOx bioanode was found to be 5.4 mA/cm2. The bioanode exhibited a good bio-electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of the glucose. The experimental studies of the bioanode are justifying its employment in biofuel cells. This will cater a platform for the generation of sustainable energy for low temperature devices.Healthcare optimization has become increasingly important in the current era, where numerous challenges are posed by population ageing phenomena and the demand for higher quality of the healthcare services. The implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) in the healthcare ecosystem has been one of the best solutions to address these challenges and therefore to prevent and diagnose possible health impairments in people. The remote monitoring of environmental parameters and how they can cause or mediate any disease, and the monitoring of human daily activities and physiological parameters are among the vast applications of IoT in healthcare, which has brought extensive attention of academia and industry. Assisted and smart tailored environments are possible with the implementation of such technologies that bring personal healthcare to any individual, while living in their preferred environments. In this paper we address several requirements for the development of such environments, namely the deployment of physiological signs monitoring systems, daily activity recognition techniques, as well as indoor air quality monitoring solutions.
