TL;DR: In this article, multiferroic thin films of Ce-doped Bi1−xCexFeO3 (BCFOx) with x = 0.12 were successfully prepared on Pt/TiO 2/SiO2/Si substrates by chemical solution deposition.

TL;DR: Initial results from patients imaged prior to carotid endarterectomy suggest that strain imaging detects conditions that are traditionally considered high risk including soft plaque composition, unstable morphology, abnormal hemodynamics and shear of plaque against tethering tissue can be exacerbated by neoangiogenesis.

TL;DR: The data show that physical measures of plaque instability are possible through interpretation of ultrasound strain data during pulsation, which may be more clinically relevant than solely measuring degree of stenosis.

TL;DR: Ultrasound plaque characteristics (GSM, DWAs and black areas) represent histopathologic markers associated with plaque vulnerability and were associated with inflammation and inflammation on histopathology examination.

TL;DR: Overall cognitive performance was negatively associated with values of the maximum strain and the peak-to-peak for axial and lateral strains, respectively, and there was no significant correlation between the RBANS Total score and shear strain and strain indices averaged over the entire identified plaque for this group of patients.
