Effects of multi-photon states in the calibration of single-photon detectors based on a portable bi-photon source.

Single-photon detectors (SPDs) are ubiquitous in many protocols for quantum imaging, sensing, and communications. Many of these protocols critically depend on the precise knowledge of their detection efficiency. A method for the calibration of SPDs based on sources of quantum-correlated photon pairs uses single-photon detection to generate heralded single photons, which can be used as a standard of radiation at the single-photon level.

Clinical RNA sequencing clarifies variants of uncertain significance identified by prior testing.

Purpose: Sequencing-based genetic testing often identifies variants of uncertain significance (VUS) or fails to detect pathogenic variants altogether. We evaluated the utility of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to clarify VUS or identify missing variants in a clinical setting.

Methods: Over a 2-year period, genetics providers at a single institution referred 26 cases for clinical RNA-seq.

BCL11A intellectual developmental disorder: defining the clinical spectrum and genotype-phenotype correlations.

An increasing number of individuals with intellectual developmental disorder (IDD) and heterozygous variants in BCL11A are identified, yet our knowledge of manifestations and mutational spectrum is lacking. To address this, we performed detailed analysis of 42 individuals with BCL11A-related IDD (BCL11A-IDD, a.k.

Erratum: Variants in cause a spectrum of X-linked neurodevelopmental disorders and facial dysmorphology.

Updates in the use of cannabis for insomnia.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to summarize recent updates in the area of cannabis use for insomnia.

Recent Findings: Cannabis products have continued to become more potent, particularly in regard to delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration. Additionally, the use of cannabis has continued to become more accepted with less legal restrictions.
