Quantum Dot-Induced Kinetic Bottleneck in Singlet Exciton Relaxation of Conjugated Polymer Aggregates

Abstract We designed hybrid aggregate model systems with cascade energy alignment from conjugated polymers (CPs) to quantum dots (QDs) to investigate the effects of QDs on CP singlet (S1) excitons. Radiative recombination of S1 excitons occurs within 1 ps in the chlorinated CP/QD...

Predictors of Early Versus Late Atrial Tachyarrhythmia Recurrence After Cryoballoon Ablation by Atrial Fibrillation Type

ABSTRACT Introduction Patient characteristics and predictors of early (ERAT) and late (LRAT) recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia by atrial fibrillation (AF) type after cryoballoon ablation (CBA) remain poorly defined. Methods Using the Korean Heart Rhythm Cryoballoon Registry (1...

Defining the problem of pandemic resource allocation: perspectives from healthcare providers and civil society advocates in South Korea

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic raised ethical questions about how scarce medical resources should be defined and allocated. Existing debates have largely focused on triage criteria and distributive principles, with less attention to how different social and institution...

Feasibility Study of Deep Learning-Driven Image Restoration for Fast, Low-Count [18F]FP-CIT Digital PET/CT

Background/Objectives: N-3-[18F]fluoropropyl-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-4-iodophenyl nortropane ([18F]FP-CIT) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is an effective imaging tool for diagnosing parkinsonism. This study evaluated the feasibility of deep learning (DL)-dri...
