Whispering-gallery mode (WGM) resonators, renowned for their high Q-factors and narrow line widths, are widely utilized in integrated photonics. Integrating diffraction gratings onto WGM cavities has gained significant attention because these gratings function as azimuthal refractive index modulators, enabling single-mode WGM emissions and supporting beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM). The introduction of curved grating structures facilitates guided mode resonances by coupling high-order diffracted waves with leaking modes from the waveguide.

This report describes a patient who underwent multidisciplinary treatment for HCC with massive IVC tumor thrombus.
Methods: The 56-year-old woman in this study had diffuse HCC of the medial and anterior segments.
Objective: After a total laryngectomy, patients lose various physiological functions of the upper airway. To address these issues, an artificial nose (heat and moisture exchanger (HME)) has been developed. However, the current HMEs do not provide sufficient physiological upper airway function.

- The study introduces MS-DIAL 5, a software designed for analyzing complex mass spectrometry data to better understand lipid structures and localization, integrating a species-specific lipidome database for enhanced accuracy.* -
- With optimized settings, MS-DIAL 5 accurately identified lipid structures for 96.4% of tested standards and effectively assigned specific positions in lipids, particularly for complex molecules found in the eye.* -
- The research also identified an enzyme (glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase) linked to the incorporation of important fatty acids into lipids, using both mass spectrometry techniques and experimental validation.*
