Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited channelopathy characterized by right precordial ST-segment elevation. This study investigates the clinical and genetic characteristics of children with BrS in Hong Kong.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted at the only tertiary pediatric cardiology center in Hong Kong from 2002 to 2022, including all pediatric BrS patients under 18 years old.
Metasurfaces have recently opened up applications in the quantum regime, including quantum tomography and the generation of quantum entangled states. With their capability to store a vast amount of information by utilizing the various geometric degrees of freedom of nanostructures, metasurfaces are expected to be useful for processing quantum information. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a programmable metasurface capable of performing quantum algorithms using both classical and quantum light with single photons.

- Dengue fever is a common illness in tropical countries, often diagnosed in patients with acute fever, while Borrelia is linked to infections like Lyme disease and relapsing fever.
- This report presents the first case series of patients co-infected with dengue and Borrelia in Malaysia, highlighting that all three had typical dengue symptoms but no severe complications.
- Despite detecting Borrelia DNA in their blood, the patients did not show signs of skin lesions or insect bites, and they responded well to treatment with intravenous fluids, being discharged after a few days.
Rationale: Observations from our clinical practice indicate a notable occurrence of pleural complications post-percutaneous renal cryoablation (PRC).
Objective: To identify the incidence of pleural complications following PRC and potential risk factors associated with post-procedural pleural complications.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective cohort analysis of patients undergoing PRC at two tertiary hospital systems between 2016 and 2022.
Physical processes ultimately shape tissue during development. Two emerging proposals are that cells migrate toward stiffer tissue (durotaxis) and that the extent of cell rearrangements reflects tissue phase, but it is unclear whether and how these concepts are related. Here, we identify fibronectin-dependent tissue stiffness as a control variable that underlies and unifies these phenomena in vivo.
