Supermode Bragg grating combined Mach-Zehnder interferometer for temperature-strain discrimination.

Optics express

Wu Z, Zhang H, Shum PP, Shao X, Huang T, Seow YM, Liu YG, Wei H, Wang Z.
PMID: 26831968
Opt Express. 2015 Dec 28;23(26):33001-7. doi: 10.1364/OE.23.033001.

We report on a compact sensor by integrating a Mach-Zehnder interference and a cladding Bragg grating in a same section of all-solid photonic bandgap fiber. Theoretical investigation reveals that the Bragg grating resonance stems from the coupling of counter-propagating...

Highly significant differences in HBsAg kinetics among patients with two types of hepatitis B flare, with and without retreatment.

The Journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy

Jeng WJ, Liu YC, Peng CW, Chien RN, Liaw YF.
PMID: 34618028
J Antimicrob Chemother. 2021 Dec 24;77(1):205-212. doi: 10.1093/jac/dkab360.

BACKGROUND: Off-therapy hepatitis flare may be detrimental or, conversely, facilitate hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) decline. Retreatment decisions are crucial.METHODS: HBsAg was quantified before and during flares, at peak/retreatment start and at Months 6 and 12 in 336 entecavir/tenofovir-retreated...

Reduction of Opioid Consumption After Outpatient Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeries Using a Multimodal Pain Protocol.

The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons

J Am Acad Orthop Surg. 2021 Oct 28; doi: 10.5435/JAAOS-D-20-01417. Epub 2021 Oct 28.

INTRODUCTION: Because of the dearth of literature in the orthopaedic trauma population, we aimed to analyze how a multimodal pain protocol after outpatient surgery affects opioid consumption, pain scores, and patient satisfaction.METHODS: This was a cohort study with a...

Off-tenofovir hepatitis flares in HBeAg-negative patients occur earlier, more frequent and severe than those off-entecavir therapies.

Liver international : official journal of the International Association for the Study of the Liver

Liu YC, Jeng WJ, Peng CW, Chien RN, Liaw YF.
PMID: 34936719
Liver Int. 2021 Dec 22; doi: 10.1111/liv.15140. Epub 2021 Dec 22.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Clinical relapse occurs much earlier and more frequently in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients after stopping tenofovir (TDF) therapy than those off-entecavir (ETV). Clinical relapse may subside or progress to hepatitis...

Peritumoral Brain Edema in Meningiomas May Be Related to Glymphatic Dysfunction.

Frontiers in neuroscience

Toh CH, Siow TY, Castillo M.
PMID: 33967688
Front Neurosci. 2021 Apr 22;15:674898. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2021.674898. eCollection 2021.

The pathogenesis of peritumoral brain edema (PTBE) in meningiomas remains unclear. The glymphatic system is recently recognized as a pathway for waste clearance and maintaining fluid balance in the brain parenchymal interstitium. We aimed to investigate if the PTBE...

Recent Updates on Mechanisms of Resistance to 5-Fluorouracil and Reversal Strategies in Colon Cancer Treatment.

Biology

Vet Dermatol. 1996 Mar;7(1):11-20. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-3164.1996.tb00221.x.

Abstract  The in vivo dynamics of differentiated cells and interleukin (IL)-lβ, IL-8, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interferon (IFN)-γ titres in afferent lymph were compared following orf virus reinfection and inactivated virus injection of previously infected sheep. The biphasic...
