Therefore, the SnS2/SnS heterostructure PENG fabricated in this work can be employed to develop a flexible energy-harvesting device or an attachable self-powered sensor for monitoring pulse and human body movement.Hypoparathyroidism is a rare disorder characterized by hypocalcemia and deficient or absent levels of parathyroid hormone. The consequences of chronic hypoparathyroidism involve classic target organs of parathyroid hormone, namely the skeleton and the kidneys. In this article, we focus on the abnormalities in bone quality that are associated with hypoparathyroidism. As assessed by a number of modalities, bone quality is compromised. The evidence for abnormal bone quality includes findings from bone histomorphometry, bone material properties, and high-resolution peripheral computed tomography. These abnormalities include low bone turnover, altered skeletal microarchitecture and bone material properties. How these abnormalities relate to fracture risk are under investigation. In this article, we also review the therapeutic effects of parathyroid hormone as replacement therapy in this disease.Epidemiological studies have highlighted a higher incidence of morbidity and mortality among individuals with Klinefelter's syndrome (KS), however, the relative impact of oncological diseases on KS subjects is still uncertain. While some malignancies (e.g., hematological and lung cancers) may show an increased prevalence in the KS population, only a few rare tumors (i.e., extragonadal germ cell tumors [GCTs] and male breast cancer [MBC]) seem to follow this trend. Additionally, hormonal and genetic determinants may be involved in the pathogenesis of neoplasia in KS, even if subjects affected by this syndrome generally show lower incidence of prostate cancer along with lower disease-specific mortality despite testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). This review deals with the pathophysiological and clinical aspects of neoplastic diseases occurring in KS. The acute care surgery (ACS) model has been shown to improve patient, hospital and surgeon-specific outcomes. To date, however, little has been published on its impact on residency training. Our study compared the emergency general surgery (EGS) operative experiences of residents assigned to ACS versus elective surgical rotations. Resident-reported EGS case logs were prospectively collected over a 9-month period across 3 teaching hospitals. Descriptive statistics were tabulated and group comparisons were made using χ2 statistics for categorical data and t tests for continuous data. Overall, 1061 cases were reported. Resident participation exceeded 90%). Appendiceal and biliary disease accounted for 49.7% of EGS cases. Residents on ACS rotations reported participating in twice as many EGS cases per block as residents on elective rotations (12.64 v. 6.30 cases, p < 0.01). Most cases occurred after hours while residents were on call rather than during daytime ACS hours (78.8% v. 21.1%, p < 0.01). Senty of the EGS operative experience at our academic network. In locally or locally advanced solid tumors, surgery still remains a fundamental treatment method. However, conservative resection is associated with high collateral damage and functional limitations of the patient. Furthermore, the presence of residual tumor tissue following conservative surgical treatment is currently a common cause of locally recurrent cancer or of distant metastases. Reliable intraoperative detection of small cancerous tissue would allow surgeons to selectively resect malignant areas this task can be achieved by means of image-guided surgery, such as beta radioguided surgery (RGS). In this paper, a comprehensive review of beta RGS is given, starting from the physical principles that differentiate beta from gamma radiation, that has already its place in nuclear medicine current practice. Also, the recent clinical feasibility of using Cerenkov radiation is di
