Nano/Microscale Thermal Field Distribution: Conducting Thermal Decomposition of Pyrolytic-Type Polymer by Heated AFM Probes

In relevant investigations and applications of the heated atomic force microscope (AFM) probes, the determination of the actual thermal distribution between the probe and the materials under processing or testing is a core issue.Herein, the polyphthalaldehyde (PPA) film material and AFM imaging of the decomposition structures (pyrolytic region of P

MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound Versus Radiofrequency Capsulotomy for Treatment-Refractory Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Cost-Effectiveness Threshold Analysis

Meta-analytic techniques support neuroablation as a promising therapy for treatment-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).This technique appears to offer a more favorable complication rate and higher utility than deep brain stimulation.Moreover, these pooled findings suggest that bilateral radiofrequency (RF) capsulotomy has marginally gre
