Introduction: The early detection of esophageal cancer is crucial to enhancing patient survival rates, and endoscopy remains the gold standard for identifying esophageal neoplasms. Despite this fact, accurately diagnosing superficial esophageal neoplasms poses a challenge, even for seasoned endoscopists. Recent advancements in computer-aided diagnostic systems, empowered by artificial intelligence (AI), have shown promising results in elevating the diagnostic precision for early-stage esophageal cancer.

Article Synopsis
  • Germanium/silicon (Ge/Si) avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are important for near-infrared detection and quantum communication, but most research has focused on just one optical communication band.
  • This study introduces a lateral separate absorption multiplication (SAM) APD and looks at its performance across different wavelengths, finding that it performs significantly better at L-band (1600 nm) than at C-band (1550 nm).
  • The research shows a gain-bandwidth product of 279 GHz, revealing insights into why higher gains occur and suggesting that Ge/Si APDs could play a bigger role in optical communication technology.

The Zika virus (ZIKV) is believed to cause birth defects, and no anti-ZIKV drugs have been approved by medical organizations to date. Starting from antimicrobial lead compounds with a pyrazolo[3,4-]pyridazine-7-one scaffold, we synthesized 16 derivatives and screened their ability to interfere with ZIKV infection utilizing a cell-based phenotypic assay. Of these, five compounds showed significant inhibition of ZIKV with a selective index value greater than 4.

Ultrafast compressive imaging captures three-dimensional spatiotemporal information of transient events in a single shot. When a single-chirped optical probe is applied, the temporal information is obtained from the probe modulated in amplitude or phase using a direct frequency-time mapping method. Here, we extend the analysis of the temporal resolution of conventional one-dimensional ultrafast measurement techniques such as spectral interferometry to that in three-dimensional ultrafast compressive imaging.
