The objective of this study was to quantitatively analyze differences in diaphragmatic motion between supine and prone positioning during resting breathing using dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Total diaphragmatic motion (TDM), defined as total excursion of the anterior (ANT), central (CNT), and posterior (PST) diaphragm, was 61 mm in the supine position and 63 mm in the prone position. No significant difference in TDM was apparent in response to change in positioning. Diaphragmatic motion was greatest in the PST > CNT > ANT with supine positioning, and PST > ANT ≈ CNT with prone positioning. In both positions, motion tended to be greatest in the posterior diaphragm. However, relative changes in CNT and PST were less with prone than with supine positioning. These findings suggest that ventilation in the posterior lung fields is decreased to a greater extent with prone than with supine positioning.

In this study, we demonstrate the avalanche multiplication phenomenon in a crystalline-selenium (c-Se)-based heterojunction photodiode. The carrier injection from an external electrode, which is considered to be the major factor contributing to dark current at a high electric field, was significantly decreased by employing a thin n-type Ga2O3 layer with a high hole-injection barrier. The fabricated Ga2O3/c-Se diode exhibited extremely high external quantum efficiency of over 100% in the short-wavelength region at a relatively low reverse-bias voltage of ∼20 V. Furthermore, Sn-doping of the Ga2O3 layer increases the carrier concentration; hence, the resulting device has a lower threshold voltage for avalanche multiplication.
