A beam of light incident upon a diffractive structure can under resonance conditions be subject to a rather large lateral displacement. The effect is demonstrated with a Gaussian profile beam and two geometries based on a waveguide grating and a single-mode waveguide.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis in children: the value of ultrasound in diagnosis and follow-up.

BMC Med Imaging

January 2025

Department of Ultrasound Medicine, First Affiliated Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, 350005, China.

Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease, most prevalent in children. Ultrasound is a noninvasive, cheap, and widely available technique. However, systematic elucidation of sonographic features of LCH and treatment related follow-up are relatively few, resulting in overall underestimation of the clinical value of ultrasound in diagnosing and monitoring LCH.

Imaging of elbow entrapment neuropathies.

Insights Imaging

January 2025

IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Galeazzi, Milan, Italy.

Entrapment neuropathies at the elbow are common in clinical practice and require an accurate diagnosis for effective management. Understanding the imaging characteristics of these conditions is essential for confirming diagnoses and identifying underlying causes. Ultrasound serves as the primary imaging modality for evaluating nerve structure and movement, while MRI is superior for detecting muscle denervation.

Electronic address:

Rationale And Objectives: Individuals with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) can present with diverse renal and extra-renal manifestations. Large vessel anomalies, such as cerebral aneurysms, are potentially fatal extra-renal manifestations. However, limited research has been conducted on cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).
