The Role of Dynamic Renal Scintigraphy in Detecting Vesicoureteral Reflux Diagnosed by Voiding Cystourethrogram by İlhan Çiftci, Gonca Kara Gedik, Farise Yılmaz, Fatma Özcan Sıkı, Hasan Önner, Mehmet Sarıkaya

“…Aims: This study aims to evaluate the role of standardized dynamic renal scintigraphy (DRS) in recognizing vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in patients detected with VUR by voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). Methods: The data of all pediatric patients who underwent both VCUG and DRS [technetium-99m diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Tc-99m DTPA) or technetium-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine dynamic renal scintigraphy (Tc-99m MAG-3)] in our hospital between 2013 and 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. …”

High-Performance Memristive Synapse Based on Space-Charge-Limited Conduction in LiNbO₃ by Youngmin Lee, Sejoon Lee

“…In this study, we fabricated a high-performance Al/LiNbO₃/Pt memristive synapse and emulated various synaptic functions using its primary key operating mechanism, known as oxygen vacancy-mediated valence charge migration (V_O-VCM). The voltage-controlled V_O-VCM induced space-charge-limited conduction and self-rectifying asymmetric hysteresis behaviors. …”
