Melatonin versus midazolam in the premedication of anxious children attending for elective surgery under general anaesthesia: the MAGIC non-inferiority RCT by Christopher Deery, Robert Bolt, Diana Papaioannou, Matthew Wilson, Marie Hyslop, Esther Herbert, Nikki Totton, Zoe Marshman, Tracey Young, Jennifer Kettle, Sondos Albadri, Simon Atkins, Katie Biggs, Janet Clarkson, Chris Evans, Laura Flight, Jacqui Gath, Fiona Gilchrist, Kate Hutchence, Nicholas Ireland, Amanda Loban, Amy Norrington, Hamish Paton, Jaydip Ray, Helen Rodd, Elena Sheldon, Richard Simmonds, Christopher Vernazza

“…In terms of acceptability, preferences of the anaesthetist, patient and caregiver factors and medication side effects profile were influential and suggest the choice of preoperative anxiolytic is more complex than previously described. On average, costs over the 14 days post surgery were lower for those who received melatonin (−£46.20, 95% confidence interval −£166.14 to £66.74) with a mean incremental difference in procedure success of −0.02 (95% confidence interval −0.08 to 0.004), although there was uncertainty around the results. …”

Band gap engineering and electronic structure of Cu2Ni(Sn,Ge,Si)Se4 kesterites: A DFT perspective on new earth-abundant semiconductors for high-performance photovoltaics by Iskandar Raufov, Dilshod Nematov, Saidjaafar Murodzoda, Anushervon Ashurov, Sakhidod Sattorzoda

“…Convergence tests were carried out to determine the optimal values of plane-wave cutoff energy (450 eV) and k-point mesh (4 × 4 × 2), ensuring precise energy calculations while minimizing computational cost. Our study reveals that the substitution of Sn with Ge and Si leads to a progressive increase in the bandgap, ranging from 0.79 eV (Sn) to 2.35 eV (Si), allowing for fine-tuning of absorption edge energies. …”
