'Coughing up a tonsil' - oesophageal leiomyoma.

Journal of surgical case reports

Mendis D, Molony N.
PMID: 24960718
J Surg Case Rep. 2012 Jan 01;2012(1):3. doi: 10.1093/jscr/2012.1.3.

We report on a case of oesophageal leiomyoma presenting as a potential cause of sudden airway obstruction. The patient presented with a large mass in the oral cavity after an episode of forceful vomiting. The operative findings and histology...

Long Lifetime Hole Traps at Grain Boundaries in CdTe Thin-Film Photovoltaics.

Physical review letters

Mendis BG, Gachet D, Major JD, Durose K.
PMID: 26636877
Phys Rev Lett. 2015 Nov 20;115(21):218701. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.115.218701. Epub 2015 Nov 18.

A novel time-resolved cathodoluminescence method, where a pulsed electron beam is generated via the photoelectric effect, is used to probe individual CdTe grain boundaries. Excitons have a short lifetime (≤100 ps) within the grains and are rapidly quenched at...

Peroneal intraneural ganglion.

Orthopedics

Roffman M, Mendes DG, Ullman G.
PMID: 24822482
Orthopedics. 1984 May 01;7(5):872-3. doi: 10.3928/0147-7447-19840501-14.

An intraneural cyst is a rare condition. This paper describes one such case, discusses the clinical picture and possible etiology, and reviews the methods of treatment reported in the literature.

Assessment of nasal patency after rhinoplasty through the Glatzel mirror.

International archives of otorhinolaryngology

de Pochat VD, Alonso N, Mendes RR, Gravina PR, Cronenberg EV, Meneses JV.
PMID: 25991955
Int Arch Otorhinolaryngol. 2012 Jul;16(3):341-5. doi: 10.7162/S1809-97772012000300007.

INTRODUCTION:  OBJECTIVE evaluation of nasal function is a constant challenge for plastic surgeons, otolaryngologists, and allergists. The modified Glatzel mirror can evaluate nasal expiratory flow; however, there is little information on this method and its use in the measurement...

Focused terahertz waves generated by a phase velocity gradient in a parallel-plate waveguide.

Optics express

McKinney RW, Monnai Y, Mendis R, Mittleman D.
PMID: 26480453
Opt Express. 2015 Oct 19;23(21):27947-52. doi: 10.1364/OE.23.027947.

We demonstrate the focusing of a free-space THz beam emerging from a leaky parallel-plate waveguide (PPWG). Focusing is accomplished by grading the launch angle of the leaky wave using a PPWG with gradient plate separation. Inside the PPWG, the...

Hiatus Hernia Repair with Bilateral Oesophageal Fixation.

Surgery research and practice

Mendis R, Cheung C, Martin D.
PMID: 26065030
Surg Res Pract. 2015;2015:693138. doi: 10.1155/2015/693138. Epub 2015 Apr 30.

Background. Despite advances in surgical repair of hiatus hernias, there remains a high radiological recurrence rate. We performed a novel technique incorporating bilateral oesophageal fixation and evaluated outcomes, principally symptom improvement and hernia recurrence. Methods. A retrospective study was...

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Processing of Barium Titanate Nanoparticles Embedded in Polymer Films.

ACS applied materials & interfaces

Toomey MD, Gao K, Mendis GP, Slamovich EB, Howarter JA.
PMID: 26633043
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces. 2015 Dec 30;7(51):28640-6. doi: 10.1021/acsami.5b10282. Epub 2015 Dec 15.

Barium titanate nanoparticles embedded in flexible polymer films were synthesized using hydrothermal processing methods. The resulting films were characterized with respect to material composition, size distribution of nanoparticles, and spatial location of particles within the polymer film. Synthesis conditions...

Patella or not?. (Is the patella component the 'Cinderella' of total knee arthroplasty?).

The Knee

Bloch wave analysis of the Eshelby twist contrast around end-on screw dislocations in bcc Mo.

Ultramicroscopy

Mendis BG, Hemker KJ.
PMID: 18403123
Ultramicroscopy. 2008 Aug;108(9):855-64. doi: 10.1016/j.ultramic.2008.02.005. Epub 2008 Feb 29.

In high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM), dislocation core structures are examined by tilting the dislocation end-on along the appropriate zone axis. For end-on screw dislocations diffraction contrast is largely due to surface relaxation in the form of the Eshelby twist....

Malaria mortality rates in South Asia and in Africa: implications for malaria control.

Parasitology today (Personal ed.)

Alles HK, Mendis KN, Carter R.
PMID: 17040819
Parasitol Today. 1998 Sep;14(9):369-75. doi: 10.1016/s0169-4758(98)01296-4.

Malaria mortality in human populations varies greatly under different circumstances. The intense malaria transmission conditions found in many parts of tropical Africa, the much lower malaria inoculation rates currently sustained in areas of southern Asia, and the epidemic outbreaks...

Nature of subpicosecond terahertz pulse propagation in practical dielectric-filled parallel-plate waveguides.

Optics letters

Mendis R.
PMID: 16902646
Opt Lett. 2006 Sep 01;31(17):2643-5. doi: 10.1364/ol.31.002643.

It is analytically shown that the presence of submicrometer-sized air gaps between the dielectric and metal contact surfaces in a dielectric-filled metallic parallel-plate waveguide can have a dramatic effect on the guided-wave propagation of subpicosecond terahertz pulses. Through the...

Extraordinary optical reflection resonances and bound states in the continuum from a periodic array of thin metal plates.

Optics express

Zhang W, Charous A, Nagai M, Mittleman DM, Mendis R.
PMID: 29801346
Opt Express. 2018 May 14;26(10):13195-13204. doi: 10.1364/OE.26.013195.

The creation of artificial structures with very narrow spectral features in the terahertz range has been a long-standing goal, as they can enable many important applications. Unlike in the visible and infrared, where compact dielectric resonators can readily achieve...
