A promising high-sensitive 1D photonic crystal magnetic field sensor based on the coupling of Fano\Tamm resonance in far IR region.

This paper presents a novel investigation of a magnetic sensor that employs Fano/Tamm resonance within the photonic band gap of a one-dimensional crystal structure. The design incorporates a thin layer of gold (Au) alongside a periodic arrangement of Tantalum pentoxide ([Formula: see text]) and Cesium iodide ([Formula: see text]) in the configuration [Formula: see text]. We utilized the transfer matrix method in conjunction with the Drude model to analyze the formation of Fano/Tamm states and the permittivity of the metallic layer, respectively.

One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals Comprising Two Different Types of Metamaterials for the Simple Detection of Fat Concentrations in Milk Samples.

In this study, we demonstrate the reflectance spectrum of one-dimensional photonic crystals comprising two different types of metamaterials. In this regard, the designed structure can act as a simple and efficient detector for fat concentrations in milk samples. Here, the hyperbolic and gyroidal metamaterials represent the two types of metamaterials that are stacked together to construct the candidate structure; meanwhile, the designed 1D PCs can be simply configured as [()].

MicroRNA signatures in the pathogenesis and therapy of inflammatory bowel disease.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a persistent inflammatory illness of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) triggered by an inappropriate immune response to environmental stimuli in genetically predisposed persons. Unfortunately, IBD patients' quality of life is negatively impacted by the symptoms associated with the disease. The exact etiology of IBD pathogenesis is not fully understood, but the emerging research indicated that the microRNA (miRNA) plays an important role.

Role of right ventricular-pulmonary arterial coupling assessed by echocardiography to predict adverse outcomes in patients with acute pulmonary embolism.

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a lethal type of venous thromboembolic disease. Right ventricular (RV) failure is not an uncommon complication of PE leading to higher adverse outcomes. The tricuspid annular peak systolic excursion/pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP) ratio as a surrogate for RV-pulmonary artery coupling has proven to be among the predictor of clinical outcomes in multiple patient groups.

Liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma in elderly patients: does age matter?

Background: Evaluation of the influence of the age of the patients upon the outcomes of liver resection (LR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods: HCC patients who underwent LR between 2010 and 2020 were analyzed. They were divided into 3 groups depending on the patient's age.
