Article Synopsis
- - The research discusses the need for non-invasive optical methods to analyze the heterogeneous nature of biological tissues by accurately measuring their local optical properties through specialized probe designs.
- - The aim is to create a theoretical framework for tilted-fiber diffuse reflectance probes that can measure optical properties in small tissue volumes (a few cubic millimeters).
- - Using Monte Carlo simulations, the study establishes connections between probe design, the volume of tissue analyzed, and the effectiveness of the method in calculating optical properties from collected reflectance data.
Article Synopsis
- * The paper's aim is to create a specialized diffuse reflectance probe that can accurately assess the optical properties of these bilayer tissues in a subdiffusive context.
- * Through Monte Carlo simulations, a well-designed probe was developed, achieving less than 20% estimation error in measuring the optical properties of skin layers, which is crucial for early detection of skin-related issues.
Unlabelled: To determine the relationships between limiting factors and neuromuscular activity during a self-paced 20-km cycling time trial and evaluate the effect of environmental conditions on fatigue indices.
Methods: Ten endurance-trained and heat-acclimated athletes performed in three conditions (ambient temperature, relative humidity): HUMID (30 °C, 90%), DRY (35 °C, 46%) and NEUTRAL (22 °C, 55%). Voluntary muscular contractions and electromagnetic stimulations were recorded before and after the time trials to assess fatigue.
Objectives: In the last 30 years, opioid maintenance treatment prescription (OMT) has changed patients' and also changed physicians' practices. General practitioners (GPs) have to deal with patients on OMT who are in acute pain. The objective of this qualitative study was to explore medical care challenges and solutions identified by GPs in the management of acute pain among patients receiving OMT.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe theoretically and experimentally study the principle of phase-sensitive frequency conversion in a highly-nonlinear fiber using three pump waves. This mechanism, originally demonstrated with four continuous-wave pumps and a signal wave, is based on four-wave mixing and enables to convert the two quadrature components of the signal to different frequencies. In this work, we derive a set of two simple equations to describe this mechanism and find analytic solutions.
