Background and Aims Accurate determination of residual cancer status after neoadjuvant
chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) for esophageal cancer could assist in selecting the optimal …

Background To allocate healthcare resources optimally, complication-related quality
initiatives should target complications that have the greatest overall impact on outcomes after …

Photoluminescent nanomaterials continue to garner research attention becauseof their
many applications. For many years, researchers have focused on quantum dots (QDs) of …

Carbon dots (CDots) have emerged to represent a highly promising new platform for visible/natural
light-activated microbicidal agents. In this article, the syntheses, structures, and …

Carbon nanoparticles upon simple surface passivation exhibit bright photoluminescence.
Reported here is a new finding that these carbon dots are also strongly two-photon …

It was found and recently reported that small carbon nanoparticles can be surface-passivated
by organic or biomolecules to become strongly fluorescent. These fluorescent carbon …

We report that nanoscale carbon particles (carbon dots) upon simple surface passivation are
strongly photoluminescent in both solution and the solid state. The luminescence emission …

Fluorescent carbon dots (small carbon nanoparticles with the surface passivated by oligomeric
PEG molecules) were evaluated for their cytotoxicity and in vivo toxicity and also for their …

Lightweight nanocomposites with superior thermal transport properties promise great
application potential,[1–4] for which there has been extensive development effort.[5–8] Among …

A reduced forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1 ) is a well-recognized risk factor
for complications after esophagectomy. Lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) …
