Abstract

We employ a first-principles computational workflow to screen for optically accessible, high-spin point defects in wide band gap two-dimensional (2D) crystals. Starting from an initial set of 5388 point defects, comprising both intrinsic and extrinsic, single and double defects in ten previously synthesised 2D host materials, we identify 596 defects with a triplet ground state. For these defects, we calculate the defect formation energy, the hyperfine (HF) coupling, and the zero-field splitting (ZFS) tensors. For 39 triplet transitions exhibiting particularly low Huang-Rhys factors, we calculate the full photo-luminescence (PL) spectrum. Our approach reveals many new spin defects with narrow PL line shapes and emission frequencies covering a broad spectral range. Most of the defects are hosted in hexagonal BN, which we ascribe to its high stiffness, but some are also found in MgI2, MoS2, MgBr2 and CaI2. As specific examples, we propose the defects vSMoS0 and NiSMoS0 in MoS2 as interesting candidates with potential applications to magnetic field sensors and quantum information technology. All the data will be made available in the open access database QPOD.

However, it is essential that the collected data are reliable for the registers to be a valuable source of information. This study evaluated the quality of humeral fracture data in the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR) and in the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR). Furthermore, a model for improved case ascertainment was developed for future validation processes.Materials and Methods: Data were obtained from the NPR and SFR for all individuals aged ≥ 16 years with an acute humeral fracture ICD-code treated at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. The true number of humeral fractures (“gold standard”) was determined by cross-linkage between the two registers and a medical charts review. The completeness of registrations in each register was measured as the proportion of registrations compared with the gold standard, and accuracy was measured as positive predictive values (PPV).Results: The NPR demonstrated a high level of completeness (97%) and lower accuracy (PPV 70%) for acute humeral fractures, whereas the SFR had slightly lower completeness (88%) but perfect accuracy (PPV 100%). The most common systematic error was the registration of re-admissions as acute fractures in the NPR (84% of all erroneous registrations). With this knowledge, an adjustment model for NPR data was constructed to increase the accuracy of fracture registrations (PPV 92%) without excluding valid registrations.Conclusion: Data from the NPR tend to overestimate the true number of fractures, and proper case selection is needed in order for the data to function as a solid basis for epidemiological research and healthcare planning. In contrast, the SFR constitutes a complete, accurate and efficient source of information.Keywords: epidemiology, humeral fracture, registers, validation, completeness

18. Sustainable Wheat Protein Biofoams : Dry Upscalable Extrusion at Low Temperature

Abstract

Glycerol-plasticized wheat gluten was explored for producing soft high-density biofoams using dry upscalable extrusion (avoiding purposely added water). The largest pore size was obtained when using the food grade ammonium bicarbonate (ABC) as blowing agent, also resulting in the highest saline liquid uptake. Foams were, however, also obtained without adding a blowing agent, possibly due to a rapid moisture uptake by the dried protein powder when fed to the extruder. ABC's low decomposition temperature enabled extrusion of the material at a temperature as low as 70 °C, well below the protein aggregation temperature. Sodium bicarbonate (SBC), the most common food-grade blowing agent, did not yield the same high foam qualities. SBC's alkalinity, and the need to use a higher processing temperature (120 °C), resulted in high protein cross-linking and aggregation. The results show the potential of an energy-efficient and industrially upscalable low-temperature foam extrusion process for competitive production of sustainable biofoams using inexpensive and readily available protein obtained from industrial biomass (wheat gluten)., QC 20230614

Abstract

The prediction of a difficult cholecystectomy has traditionally been based on certain pre-operative clinical and imaging factors. Most of the previous literature reported small patient cohorts and have not used an objective measure of operative difficulty. The aim of this study was to develop a pre-operative score to predict difficult cholecystectomy, as defined by a validated intra-operative difficulty grading scale. Two cohorts from prospectively maintained databases of patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy were analysed: the CholeS Study (8755 patients) and a single surgeon series (4089 patients). Factors potentially predictive of difficulty were correlated to the Nassar intra-operative difficulty scale. A multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was then used to identify factors that were independently associated with difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy, defined as operative difficulty grades 3 to 5. The resulting model was then converted to a risk score, and validated on both internal and external datasets. Increasing age and ASA classification, male gender, diagnosis of CBD stone or cholecystitis, thick-walled gallbladders, CBD dilation, use of pre-operative ERCP and non-elective operations were found to be significant independent predictors of difficult cases. A risk score based on these factors returned an area under the ROC curve of 0.789 (95% CI 0.773–0.806, p
