An experimental platform for investigation of the Zeeman effect in strong magnetic fields.

An experimental platform is developed for the investigation of the Zeeman effect in strong magnetic fields. Mega-Gauss magnetic fields are generated by a 1 MA Zebra pulsed power machine using metal rod loads. A gas jet or CH oil on the load is the source of hydrogen.

Quadratic Zeeman effect in hydrogen at 2-3 MG magnetic fields.

The Zeeman effect is used for measurement of magnetic fields in astrophysical and laboratory plasmas. Magnetic fields in atmospheres of magnetic white dwarf stars are in the range 40 kG-1 GG. The quadratic Zeeman effect results in the additional split and shift of lines for magnetic fields >2 MG.

Drug-aggravated Bullous Pemphigoid in a 47-year-old Asian Woman - A Case Report.

Introduction: Bullous pemphigoid is the most common chronic recurrent autoimmune subepidermal blistering disorder most prevalent in the geriatric population. It varies widely in clinical presentation ranging from tense bullae to intense generalized pruritus. It is immunologic in origin with the presence of IgG antibodies.

Coherence pathway analysis of J-coupled lipids and lactate and effective suppression of lipids upon the selective multiple quantum coherence lactate editing sequence.

The selective multiple quantum coherence (Sel-MQC) sequence is a magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) technique used to detect lactate and suppress co-resonant lipid signals. The coherence pathways of J-coupled lipids upon the sequence, however, have not been studied, hindering a logical design of the sequence to fully attenuate lipid signals. The objective of this study is to elucidate the coherence pathways of J-coupled lipids upon the Sel-MQC sequence and find a strategy to effectively suppress lipid signals from these pathways while keeping the lactate signal.

Impact of native and external factors on exosome release: understanding reactive exosome secretion and its biogenesis.

Exosomes are minuscule vesicles secreted in the endolytic region of most mammalian cells. The release of exosomes from the cell engenders cell-to-cell signaling between cellular-compartments. The trading of exosomes between tumor and yonder cells plays a hypercritical role in tumor growth and progression.
