COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CLINICAL SEVERITY AND OUTCOMES IN PENETRATING VERSUS BLUNT TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY PROPENSITY MATCHED COHORTS

Comparative Analysis of Clinical Severity and Outcomes in Penetrating Versus Blunt Traumatic Brain Injury Propensity Matched Cohorts

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global health challenge; however, penetrating brain injury (PBI) remains under-represented in evidence-based knowledge and research efforts.This study utilized data from the Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) of the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) to investigate outcomes of PBI as compared with clinical-sev

The effect of nanometre-scale V-pits on electronic and optical properties and efficiency droop of GaN-based green light-emitting diodes

Abstract The development of efficient green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is of paramount importance for the realization of colour-mixing white LEDs with a high luminous efficiency.While the insertion of an InGaN/GaN superlattice (SL) with a lower In content before the growth of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) is known to increase the effici
