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. …”

Three-dimensional modeling of near-field beam profiles from grating couplers using a deep neural network by Lim, Yu Dian, Tan, Chuan Seng

“…As the formfactor of ion traps reduces, the ion-trapping height decreases, and may unavoidably fall into the reactive near-field region of SiPh gratings. In this study, a deep neural network (DNN) modeling technique is developed as a rapid alternative to generate reactive near-field beam profiles of light coupled from SiPh gratings, as compared to the conventional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique. …”
