Article Synopsis
  • Wolfram syndrome (WS) is a rare genetic disorder featuring a combination of symptoms like diabetes, optic atrophy, and hearing loss, primarily caused by a deficiency in arginine vasopressin.
  • The case describes an early adolescent girl initially diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, who later presented with urinary issues and vision problems, leading to the discovery of optic atrophy and chronic kidney disease.
  • Although she didn't exhibit all typical symptoms of WS, such as deafness, her case highlighted the need for thorough evaluation in juvenile diabetes patients, as early renal involvement could indicate conditions beyond common complications.

All-optical wavelength conversion based on four-wave mixing attracts intense interest in many areas, especially in optical fiber communications, due to the advantages of femtosecond response, modulation-format transparency, and high flexibility in optical network management. In this paper, we present the first optical translation of 32-GBaud 16QAM signals with an integrated SiN nonlinear nanophotonic waveguide. An on-chip continuous-wave conversion efficiency of up to -0.

Background: The change in serological status of community may be used as input for guiding the public health policy. Hence, the present study was conducted to determine change in seroprevalence of COVID-19 among healthcare workers (HCWs).

Methods: From the baseline multicentric study sample, a subsample was followed up, and a seroepidemiological study was conducted among them between 6 and 22 weeks after the second dose of the vaccination.

Biomechanical influences play a fundamental role in the structural, functional, and biosynthetic properties of articular cartilage. During physiologic joint loading, the contact area between two surfaces migrates due to the primary and secondary motions of the joint. It has been demonstrated that a migratory contact area plays a critical role in reducing the coefficient of friction at the cartilage surface.
