We report the performance of a magnetically silent optically pumped cesium magnetometer with a statistical sensitivity of 3.5 pT/ at 1 Hz and a stability of 90 fT over 150 s of measurement. Optical pumping with coherent, linearly-polarized, resonant light leads to a relatively long-lived polarized ground state of the cesium vapour contained in a measurement cell.

- The origin of homochirality in biological organisms is still a mystery, with some theories suggesting it may have extraterrestrial roots involving chiral molecules in space.
- A new study shows that specific forms of neutral amino acids can exhibit significant asymmetry in how they break down when exposed to circularly polarized light, challenging previous beliefs about the insignificance of this effect.
- The results indicate that this dissociation could lead to a notable enantiomeric excess, potentially playing a major role in the development of homochirality in biological systems.
Introduction: Nociplastic pain (NP), a third category of chronic pain, offers a framework for elucidating its pathophysiology and treatment strategies. One of the characteristics of NP is comorbidity of symptoms other than pain, such as psychological and cognitive problems; therefore, these can be clues to understanding NP. Recently, we reported several cases with comorbid symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

An important clinical feature of NP is that it is not only associated with pain but also with sensory hypersensitivity to sound and light and cognitive dysfunction, including mood and attention disorders. Recent studies have suggested that depression and developmental disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), coexist with NP at high frequency.

Methods: Subjects were children with NMS who underwent scoliosis surgery at our department by a surgeon using a single posterior approach. A series of 27 cases before the introduction of ERAS and 27 cases during program stabilization were included in the study.
