Participatory health research is developing rapidly. Certain issues make the involvement of people with experiential knowledge in research both more complex and more necessary. This is the case for people who use drugs, whose knowledge rendered invisible by the illegality of drug use and the multiple ensuing forms of domination and stigmatization.

Femtosecond Laser Engraving of Deep Patterns in Steel and Sapphire.

Femtosecond laser engraving offers appealing advantages compared to regular laser engraving such as higher precision and versatility. In particular, the inscription of deep patterns exhibits an increasing interest in industry. In this work, an optimization protocol based on constraining overlap ratio and scan number is demonstrated.

2D reproduction of the face on the Turin Shroud by infrared femtosecond pulse laser processing.

Femtosecond pulse laser processing concentrates a huge quantity of light energy in extremely short pulses of a few tens to hundreds of femtoseconds, enabling superficial laser machining or marking of any kind of materials, with a reduced or insignificant heat affected area. A digitized paper printed image of the face on the Turin Shroud was used to monitor a scan head intercalated between a femtosecond pulsed laser source and a linen fabric sample, enabling the direct 2D reproduction of the image of the face with a laser beam size corresponding to one pixel of the digitized image. The contrast in the marked image was controlled by adjusting the energy density, the number of superimposed pulses per pixel, and the distance between successive impacts.

Impact of ventilation strategies during chest compression. An experimental study with clinical observations.

The optimal ventilation strategy during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is unknown. Chest compression (CC) generates circulation, while during decompression, thoracic recoil generates negative pressure and venous return. Continuous flow insufflation of oxygen (CFI) allows noninterrupted CC and generates positive airway pressure (Paw).
