Pear person-centred care for dementia patients (front end Android app) by Ng, Jian Xiong

“…With so much emphasis placed on the individualism of eachpatient, this could stress out the caregivers in a care centre. To reduce the workload on the caregiver, technology could play apart and give rise to more effective healthcare services.In this project, a Person-Centred Care system was created to assist the caregivers who were responsible for taking care of their patients and increasing the efficiency of dementia care in a care centre. …”

Charge-depletion-enhanced WSe2 quantum emitters on gold nanogap arrays with near-unity quantum efficiency by Cai, Hongbing, Rasmita, Abdullah, He, Ruihua, Zhang, Zhaowei, Tan, Qinghai, Chen, Disheng, Wang, Naizhou, Mu, Zhao, Eng, John J. H., She, Yongzhi, Pan, Nan, Wang, Qian, Dong, Zhaogang, Wang, Xiaoping, Wang, Juan, Miao, Yansong, Singh, Ranjan, Qiu, Cheng-Wei, Liu, Xiaogang, Gao, Weibo

“…In this condition, for site-controlled SPEs in WSe2 coupled to gold nanogaps, the SPE transition quantum efficiency after gating is increased to 76.4 ± 14.6% on average, with some SPEs reaching near-unity (more than 90%) quantum efficiency. This study provides a new approach for tuning SPEs with an applied gate voltage and motivates further theoretical and experimental studies of SPE enhancement on vertically aligned nanogaps.…”

A dual-functional benzobisthiadiazole derivative as an effective theranostic agent for near-infrared photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy by Huang, Shuo, Upputuri, Paul Kumar, Liu, Hui, Pramanik, Manojit, Wang, Mingfeng

“…Herein, we report a theranostic agent based on a narrow-­‐bandgap small molecule, benzo[1,2-c;4,5-c’]bis[1,2,5]thiadiazole-4,7-bis(9,9-dioctyl-9H-­fluoren-­2-yl)thiophene (denoted as BBT-2FT), with strong absorption of near infrared (NIR) light. Colloidal nanoparticles composed of BBT­‐2FT show photoacoustic signal intensity 10 times higher than that of blood, and high photothermal conversion efficiency (η=40%) under irradiation of 800-nm laser light that kills over 90% HeLa cells in 10 mins.…”

Mortality forecasts for long-term care subpopulations with longevity risk : a bayesian approach by Kogure, Atsuyuki, Fushimi, Takahiro, Kamiya, Shinichi

“…This article aims to propose a new Bayesian methodology to forecast mortality rates of long-term care (LTC) subpopulations with longevity risk. A major obstacle to developing such a method is lack of data on the number of deaths in LTC subpopulations, which would prevent us from using conventional mortality models such as the Lee-Carter model. …”

The novel application of the lightning process to treat long COVID in primary care: case report by Finch, Fiona, Parker, Phil, Nollett, C., Burns, S.

“…Little evidence exists regarding how this chronic condition should be treated, but guidelines suggest for most people it can be managed symptomatically in primary care. The Lightning Process is a trademarked positive psychology focused self-management programme which has shown to be effective in reducing fatigue and accompanying symptoms in other chronic conditions including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. …”
