Metasurfaces, acting as arrays of perfect nano-polarizers, provide a promising approach to manipulate the amplitude of an incident light at the sub-wavelength scale. In this Letter, we design and demonstrate continuous amplitude-modulated meta-fork gratings to generate optical vortex beams. More importantly, benefiting from the unique negative…[Read more]

004), hemoglobin level (β = – 0.40, p = 0.001) and LV mass index (β = 0.24, p = 0.03) were determinants for resting coronary flow velocity. On the other hand, age (β = -0.30, p = 0.008), hemoglobin level (β = -0.47, p less then 0.001) and LV mass index (β = 0.24, p = 0.04) were determinants for hyperemic coronary flow velocity. Age was only dete…[Read more]

Hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) is used in protein biophysics to probe folding dynamics, intermolecular interactions, epitope and other mapping . A typical procedure often involves HDX in buffered D2O solution followed by pepsin digestion, and liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization Mass Spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) analysis. In this work, HDX…[Read more]

Medical information and support needs were reported as unmet by almost one third of parents. The two most endorsed needs were ‘To have the option of whether or not you would pursue genetic testing for yourself or family members’ and ‘To understand what happened’.

This work demonstrates for the first time, the multifactorial needs of…[Read more]

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical characteristics and evolution of lamellar macular hole (LMH) in high myopia and the parameters associated with structural worsening, defined as the development of foveal detachment or full-thickness macular hole. METHODS Patients with high myopia and LMH were retrospectively recruited. The clinical characteristics…[Read more]

81; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.72-0.91] and composite of all-cause death, recurrent MI, or hospitalization for new HF (adjusted HR 0.82; 95% CI 0.75-0.89), but not the risks of recurrent MI or hospitalization for new HF. The lower risk of all-cause death associated with persistent β-blocker therapy was observed beyond 2 years (adjusted HR…[Read more]
