Enhanced inverse Faraday effect and time-dependent thermo-transmission in gold nanodisks.

Nonmagnetic media can be magnetized by light via processes referred to as an inverse Faraday effect (IFE). With nonmagnetic metal nanostructures, the IFE is dominated by the presence of light-induced solenoidal surface currents or plasmons with orbital angular momenta, whose properties depend on both the light and nanostructure geometry. Here, through a systematic study of gold nanodisks with different sizes, we demonstrate order-of-magnitude enhancement of the IFE compared to a bare gold film.

Accuracy of Spanish and English-generated ChatGPT responses to commonly asked patient questions about labor epidurals: a survey-based study among bilingual obstetric anesthesia experts.

Background: Large language models (LLMs), of which ChatGPT is the most well known, are now available to patients to seek medical advice in various languages. However, the accuracy of the information utilized to train these models remains unknown.

Methods: Ten commonly asked questions regarding labor epidurals were translated from English to Spanish, and all 20 questions were entered into ChatGPT version 3.

Treatment with thyroid hormones and grape juice in a model of pulmonary hypertension: the response of apoptosis and inflammation.

This study explored the association of cardioprotective role of thyroid hormones (TH) and benefit effects of grape juice (GJ) on vascular function against the apoptosis and inflammation associated with monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH). Wistar rats were distributed into five groups: control; PH (MCT 60mg/kg i.p.

Role of the locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system in stress-related psychopathology and resilience: Clinical and pre-clinical evidences.

Stressful events, from daily stressors to traumatic experiences, are common and occur at any age. Despite the high prevalence of trauma, not everyone develops stress-related disorders like major depressive disorder (MDD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a variation attributed to resilience, the ability to adapt and avoid negative consequences of significant stress. This review examines the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) system, a critical component in the brain's stress response.

Rethinking Immune Check Point Inhibitors Use in Liver Transplantation: Implications and Resistance.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy, including the two most common liver tumors, hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma, but their use in the peri-transplantation period is controversial. ICI therapy aims to heighten cytotoxic T lymphocytes response against tumors. However, tumor recurrence is common owing to tumor immune response escape involving ablation of CTL response by interfering with antigen presentation, triggering CLT apoptosis and inducing epigenetic changes that promote ICI therapy resistance.
