Visible-Telecom Entangled-Photon Pair Generation with Integrated Photonics: Guidelines and a Materials Comparison.

Correlated photon-pair sources are key components for quantum computing, networking, synchronization, and sensing applications. Integrated photonics has enabled chip-scale sources using nonlinear processes, producing high-rate time-energy and polarization entanglement at telecom wavelengths with sub-100 microwatt pump power. Many quantum systems operate in the visible or near-infrared ranges, necessitating visible-telecom entangled-pair sources for connecting remote systems via entanglement swapping and teleportation.

The burden of headache disorders in the adult population of Morocco: estimates, and a health-care needs assessment, from a cross-sectional population-based door-to-door survey.

Background: We have previously shown headache disorders to be prevalent in in the adult general population of Morocco, especially migraine (30.8%) and headache on ≥ 15 days/month (H15+; 10.5%).

Influence of antiplatelet medication and anticoagulation therapy after dental extractions on hospitalization: a retrospective 10-year study.

Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to identify high-risk dental extraction patients and the timing of postoperative hemorrhage to evaluate whether preventive hospitalization should be considered in patients on antiplatelet medication (AP) or anticoagulants.

Methods: Our study included 1595 procedures; 1319 were conducted under monotherapy (Group I: AP; Group II: indirect oral anticoagulant [IAC]; Group III: direct oral anticoagulant [DOAC]) and 276 under dual therapy (Group IV: double AP; Group V: AP and IAC; Group VI: AP and DOAC). We evaluated the incidence, frequency and timing of hemorrhage, hospitalization rate, and treatment of bleeding incidents.

The burden of headache disorders among adults in Peru: national estimates and a health-care needs assessment from a population-based door-to-door survey.

Intravenous glibenclamide for cerebral oedema after large hemispheric stroke (CHARM): a phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised trial.

Background: No treatment is available to prevent brain oedema, which can occur after a large hemispheric infarction. Glibenclamide has previously been shown to improve functional outcome and reduce neurological or oedema-related death in patients younger than 70 years who were at risk of brain oedema after an acute ischaemic stroke. We aimed to assess whether intravenous glibenclamide could improve functional outcome at 90 days in patients with large hemispheric infarction.

, a new genus of Dorvilleidae (Annelida) from deep waters of the Southwest Atlantic Ocean and an insight into its relationship within the family.

Dorvilleidae Chamberlin, 1919 is a family of Annelida containing some of the smallest 'polychaetes' species, being poorly studied worldwide, and with little knowledge regarding its diversity and occurrence. Samples obtained in oceanographic campaigns performed in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean (Brazilian coast) revealed a high number of specimens of dorvilleids, adding to our knowledge of the family's biodiversity. A detailed morphological analysis of these organisms has revealed a new genus, , with two new species.

[Palliative neurology].

Palliative medicine represents the holistic multiprofessional treatment of severely and incurably ill people and their relatives, addressing their complex physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs. The central therapeutic goals are the quality of life and alleviation of suffering. In the course of many neurological diseases, high symptom burden, long and variable trajectories and unfavorable prognosis at times create a need for palliative care even at an early stage, which is currently still inadequately met.

UV-vis absorbance spectra, molar extinction coefficients and circular dichroism spectra for the two cyanobacterial metabolites anabaenopeptin A and anabaenopeptin B.

The UV-vis absorbance spectra, molar extinction coefficients and circular dichroism spectra, as well as NMR and high resolution tandem mass spectrometry spectra were determined for two prominent secondary metabolites from cyanobacteria, namely anabaenopeptin A and anabaenopeptin B. The compounds were extracted from the cyanobacterium CBT929 and purified by flash chromatography and HPLC. Exact amounts of isolated compounds were assessed by quantitative H-NMR with internal calibrant ethyl 4-(dimethylamino)benzoate in DMSO‑ at 298 K with a recycle delay (d1) of 120 s.

Cost of illness and labour market disaffiliation among patients with migraine discontinuing triptan treatment: A Danish nationwide register study from 1995 to 2021.

Background: Migraine presents significant health and economic challenges. Despite the widespread use of triptans, some patients discontinue them because of insufficient relief or adverse effects. Using national registers, the present study investigates the excess costs and labour market disaffiliation of Danish patients discontinuing triptan treatment.

The burden of headache disorders in the adult population of Mongolia: estimates, and a health-care needs assessment, from a cross-sectional population-based study.

Background: Having previously shown headache disorders to be prevalent in Mongolia, here we elaborate on headache as a public-health concern in this country, reporting symptom burden and headache-attributed impaired participation at individual and societal levels, and conducting a health-care needs assessment.

Methods: The study followed the standardized methodology developed by the Global Campaign against Headache, generating a representative general-population sample through multi-level randomized cluster sampling. Participants aged 18-65 years were interviewed at unannounced household visits by interviewers administering the HARDSHIP questionnaire.

Migraine is the most disabling neurological disease among children and adolescents, and second after stroke among adults: A call to action.

The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study is pivotal in shaping health policies by providing comprehensive data on mortality and disability. An updated GBD2021 analysis, published in on 14 March 2024, expands the scope of neurological disorders to include 37 conditions, revealing their significant impact on global health. Neurological disorders affect 3.

The prevalence of headache disorders in children and adolescents in Benin: a schools-based study.

Background: A global schools-based programme within the Global Campaign against Headache is estimating the burden of headache in children (6-11 years) and adolescents (12-17 years), cluster-sampling the world by conducting national studies in all world regions. Its purpose is to complement population-based studies in adults, adding to knowledge of the burden of headache and informing educational and health policies. This study in Benin was the third in the programme from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
