Autoimmune cerebellar ataxia (ACA) is a cerebellar syndrome induced by autoimmune reactions and its onset is induced by malignant tumors, prodromic infection, and gluten allergy. Its clinical symptoms include gait disorder, limb ataxia, dysarthria, and dysphagia. According to , the diagnosis of ACA is based on the following points: 1.

Its refractive index accuracy will play a crucial role in the research and application of nonlinear optics. In this paper, we theoretically analyze the accuracy and reliability of nonlinear methods and experimentally measure the refractive index of ordinary light at different wavelengths and temperatures in a non-critical phase matching LN crystal by the sum-frequency generation and spontaneous parametric down-conversion processes, with the help of the existing accurate Sellmeier equation for the refractive index of extraordinary light.

Oral microbiomes play a potential role in the pathogenesis of this disease. However, findings from individual studies have been inconsistent, and a comprehensive understanding of OSCC-associated microbiome dysbiosis remains elusive.

Background: Jejunal diverticula (JD) are rare clinical conditions that are typically incidentally detected and asymptomatic. When acute complications arise, surgical exploration may be necessary for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. In this report, we present a case of multiple JD complicated by gastrointestinal bleeding and review the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of JD to increase clinician awareness of this condition.
