Radiofrequency Ablation and Intrauterine Transfusion in a Delayed Diagnosed Acardiac Twin Pregnancy.

Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence or acardiac twin is a rare and severe complication of monochorionic multiple pregnancies. Acardiac twin accounts for 10% of all TRAP sequences, which is the most morphologically developed acardius. We present an undiagnosed TRAP sequence case up to 24 weeks of gestation who underwent successful amnioreduction, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and intrauterine transfusion (IUT).

Electrical programmable multilevel nonvolatile photonic random-access memory.

Photonic Random-Access Memories (P-RAM) are an essential component for the on-chip non-von Neumann photonic computing by eliminating optoelectronic conversion losses in data links. Emerging Phase-Change Materials (PCMs) have been showed multilevel memory capability, but demonstrations still yield relatively high optical loss and require cumbersome WRITE-ERASE approaches increasing power consumption and system package challenges. Here we demonstrate a multistate electrically programmed low-loss nonvolatile photonic memory based on a broadband transparent phase-change material (Ge2Sb2Se5, GSSe) with ultralow absorption in the amorphous state.

Torsion among Women with Acute Lower Abdominal Pain: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study.

Lower abdominal or pelvic pain is a common complaint among women and one of the most challenging findings to evaluate. We performed the present study to construct a new algorithm for predicting the chance of ovarian torsion among women with acute lower abdominal pain. This diagnostic retrospective cross-sectional study was performed on all female individuals who were referred to Imam Hossein Medical Center, Tehran, Iran, with the chief complaint of acute lower abdominal pain, and underwent laparotomy between 2010 and 2016.

Self-powered broadband photodetector based on MoS/SbTe heterojunctions: a promising approach for highly sensitive detection.

100 GHz micrometer-compact broadband monolithic ITO Mach-Zehnder interferometer modulator enabling 3500 times higher packing density.

Electro-optic modulators provide a key function in optical transceivers and increasingly in photonic programmable application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for machine learning and signal processing. However, both foundry-ready silicon-based modulators and conventional material-based devices utilizing lithium-niobate fall short in simultaneously providing high chip packaging density and fast speed. Current-driven ITO-based modulators have the potential to achieve both enabled by efficient light-matter interactions.
