Multiple interacting photonic modes in strongly coupled organic microcavities.
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci
December 2024
Room-temperature cavity quantum electrodynamics with molecular materials in optical cavities offers exciting prospects for controlling electronic, nuclear and photonic degrees of freedom for applications in physics, chemistry and materials science. However, achieving strong coupling with molecular ensembles typically requires high molecular densities and substantial electromagnetic-field confinement. These conditions usually involve a significant degree of molecular disorder and a highly structured photonic density of states.

Gathering medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, physicians and researchers with esteemed expertise in these fields, the Immunorad Conference bridges the gap between preclinical outcomes and clinical opportunities. Thus, it paves a promising way toward optimizing radiotherapy-immunotherapy combinations and, from a broader perspective, improving therapeutic strategies for patients with cancer.

- The study analyzes bacteremia and antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacilli among patients with hematological malignancies and those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplants across different geographic regions.
- It includes 1,277 cases of bacteremia, revealing that Gram-negative bacilli were present in 60.3% of episodes, with a notable occurrence of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) affecting 40.2% of these infections.
- Key risk factors for 30-day mortality identified include relapse of underlying disease, use of corticosteroids, and the presence of resistant bacteria, emphasizing the high mortality associated with carbapenem-resistant cases.
Parametric nonlinear optical processes are instrumental in optical quantum technology for generating entangled light. However, the range of materials conventionally used for producing entangled photons is limited. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a novel class of optical materials with customizable nonlinear properties and proven chemical and optical stability.

This study aimed to review the existing literature to determine the outcomes, limitations, risks, and benefits of iCAN use in facial fracture management.
Methods: A systematic review of iCAN use in craniomaxillofacial fracture surgery was performed by 2 authors in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
