Investigation of additional responses caused by sample surface topography in piezoresponse force microscopy measurement
The purpose of this study is to elucidate the origin of the additional response signals arising from the surface topography of samples during piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) measurements.Periodic mountain-shaped protrusions with triangular cross-sections were fabricated on the surface of a silicon single crystal, a material with no inherent pi
Engaging Primary Care Physicians to Refer Patients to Home-Based Palliative Is Challenging and Complicated
Background: Before the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the financing landscape for fee-for-service health care lacked broad structure and incentives to provide palliative care outside hospitals.Since the ACA, several payers have taken the opportunity to offer home-based palliative care (HBPC) to their members.Objective: To evaluate the impact of outreac
Metabolomic profiling of overnight peritoneal dialysis effluents predicts the peritoneal equilibration test type
Abstract This study primarily aimed to evaluate whether peritoneal equilibration test (PET) results can be predicted through the metabolomic analysis of overnight peritoneal dialysis (PD) effluents.From a total of 125 patients, overnight PD effluents on the day china glaze fairytale bliss of the first PET after PD initiation were analyzed.A modifie
