Coal, historically a low-cost and abundant energy resource, is emerging as a promising carbon-rich precursor for advanced nanomaterials. In this work, we introduce a reductive intercalation strategy to synthesize reduced (electron-rich) graphene quantum dots (GQDs) directly from anthracite coal. ...

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) can manifest as brain lesions visible on magnetic resonance imaging, including white matter hyperintensities (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMB), perivascular spaces (PVS), lacunes, and recent small subcortical infarcts (RSSI). Detection and segmentation of thes ...

Background: Narrative electronic medical records (EMR), which include textual notes created by clinicians within healthcare environments, represent a significant resource for documenting various facets of patient care. This form of text exhibits distinctive characteristics, such as the occurrence of grammatically incorrect sentences, abbreviations, freque ...

The increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries has raised concerns about resource scarcity, battery accident risks, and end-of-life battery management. All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are emerging as a promising alternative due to their higher energy density and thermal stability. However, the large-scale production of ASSBs necessitates the developmen ...

Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC), a marker of subclinical cardiovascular disease, has previously shown to be associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture. However, it remains unclear whether AAC is associated with trabecular bone score (TBS), a gray-level textural measure, or w ...

Caregivers under the age of 25, or young carers, lack significant recognition and support across sectors of education, employment, and healthcare. As young carer advisors on a prior research project exploring Canadian healthcare providers' awareness of young carers in their clinical practice, we were a part of an experience-based co-design process to ...

Rhythmic music often leads to an urge to move the body in time with the music. This urge to move can be a pleasurable experience. In psychology, we define the pleasurable wanting to move to music as groove. Here, we investigate where in the body these two groove components-movement and pleasure-are felt and whether the embodied sensations depend on the mu ...

Background: The prevalence of antibiotic resistance continues to rise, rendering many valuable antimicrobial drugs ineffective. Pairwise cyclic antibiotic therapy, where treatment is rapidly switched between two antibiotics, has been demonstrated in vitro to limit the evolution of antibiotic resistance. However, what happens when resistance inevitably evo ...

We report the synthesis of supported lipid bilayer (SLB)-coated radioluminescent nanoparticles (RLNPs) possessing a lanthanide-based core for low-dose X-ray activated photodynamic therapy (XPDT). Methylene blue (MB) photosensitizer molecules, incorporated within the SLB, are excited by energy transfer from europium, leading to an enhanced generation of re ...

Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is crucial in ischemic heart disease to improve blood supply to the heart. Meanwhile, in cancer, inhibiting angiogenesis can limit tumor growth by reducing oxygen and nutrients. Calcium ions, key in cellular functions like proliferation and migration, play an important role in this process. TRPV4, a calciu ...

Sleep is essential for optimal functioning and health. Interconnected to multiple biological, psychological, and socio-environmental factors (i.e., biopsychosocial factors), the multidimensional nature of sleep is rarely capitalized on in research. Here, we deployed a data-driven approach to iden ...
