Using a Gaussian-to-flattop beam reshaper and a frequency-doubling crystal, we demonstrate highly efficient and spatially uniform pulse compression of 1mJ, ~100fs pulses from a regenerative Ti:sapphire amplifier. The technique has general applicability to all-bulk self-defocusing-type cascaded-quadratic compressors, providing a way to increase peak power and intensity for a wide range of amplified femtosecond pulsed lasers.

Variation in the incidence, survival rate and factors associated with survival after cardiac arrest in China is reported. Some studies have tried to fill the knowledge gap regarding the epidemiology of cardiac arrest in China but were unable to identify reasons for the reported differences. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe Chinese management of cardiac arrest, particularly from the perspective of compression, ventilation, monitoring, treatment, and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Pneumopericardium (PPC) is defined by the presence of gas in the pericardial cavity, often leading to cardiac tamponade and a high mortality rate. This report describes a case involving a 33-year-old man found deceased a few meters from a knife, his clothes intact, with no resuscitation attempt made. A knotted scarf was tightly fastened around his neck, without ligature mark.

The importance of continuous and reliable pulse wave monitoring is constantly being increased in health signal monitoring and disease diagnoses. Flexible pressure sensors with high sensitivity, low hysteresis and fast response time are an effective means for monitoring pulses. Herein, a special wave-shaped layered porous structure of carbonized wood cellulose sponge (CWCS) was constructed based on natural wood (NW).

The traditional method is capable of detecting and tracking stationary and slow-moving targets in a sea surface environment. However, the signal focusing capability of such a method could be greatly reduced especially for those variable-speed targets. To solve this problem, a novel tracking algorithm combining range envelope alignment and azimuth phase filtering is proposed.

(1) Background: To develop a novel capillary refill time measurement system and evaluate its reliability and reproducibility. (2) Methods: Firstly, the utilization of electromagnetic pressure technology facilitates the automatic compression and instantaneous release of the finger. Secondly, the employment of pressure sensing technology and photoelectric volumetric pulse wave analysis technology enables the dynamic monitoring of blood flow in distal tissues.
