Conventional laser panel displays are developed through the mass integration of electrically pumped lasers or through the incorporation of a beam steering system with an array of optically pumped lasers. Here a novel configuration of a laser panel display consisting of a non-steered pumping beam and an array of electrically Q-switchable lasers is reported. The laser oscillator consists of a robust, self-standing, and deformable minute droplet that emits laser through Whispering-Gallery Mode resonance when optically pumped.

Lipid droplets (LDs) are also observed in β cells; however, the pathophysiological significance, especially for β cell function, has not been elucidated. Our aim was to assess LD accumulation in β cells in various stages of glucose intolerance and to clarify its relationship with clinical and histological parameters.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of preoperative arterial embolization for organized hematomas in the maxillary sinus, involving seven patients who underwent this procedure prior to endoscopic sinus surgery.
- The results showed no complications from embolization, with a median surgical blood loss of 30 mL and surgery time of 112 minutes, indicating a significant reduction in blood loss compared to non-embolization cases.
- The findings suggest that preoperative embolization is a safe and efficient approach to minimize serious bleeding during surgery for organized hematomas of the maxillary sinus.
Study Design: Retrospective observational study.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of reducing the radiation dose of intraoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) during posterior spinal fusion (PSF) for pediatric scoliosis on the rate of pedicle screw (PS) violation.
Summary Of Background Data: Intraoperative CBCT for pediatric scoliosis improves the accuracy of PS insertion in PSF.
Introduction: This trial was conducted to assess the long-term safety, efficacy, and benefit of early add-on of linagliptin to insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: This trial enrolled 246 subjects. The subjects were randomized to the linagliptin group or the control group and were observed for 156 weeks.
