We report the efficient operation of a continuous-wave, single-frequency, diode-pumped Nd:FAP laser at 1.126 mum. When frequency quadrupled, such a laser might be used as a local oscillator for an optical frequency standard based on the single-photon (2)S(1/2)-(2)D(5/2) electric quadrupole transition of a trapped and laser-cooled (199)Hg(+) ion. Since the frequencies of the atomic transition and the laser are harmonically related, this scheme helps to simplify the measurement of the S-D clock transition frequency by a phase-coherent chain to the cesium primary frequency standard.

A common problem when analyzing ancient DNA (aDNA) data is to identify the species which corresponds to the recovered aDNA sequence(s). The standard approach is to deploy sequence similarity based tools, such as BLAST. However, as aDNA reads may frequently stem from unsampled taxa due to extinction, it is likely that there is no exact match in any database.

Background: Prostate cancer remains the most frequent cancer among men, representing a significant health burden. Despite its high morbidity and mortality rates, the etiology of prostate cancer remains relatively unknown, with only non-modifiable established risk factors. Chronic inflammation has emerged as a potential factor in prostate carcinogenesis.

Impact of Fatty Acid Supplementation on Migraine Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Nutr Rev

January 2025

Universidad Europea de Madrid, Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Medicine, Health and Sports, 28670 Villaviciosa de odón, Madrid, Spain.

Context: Migraines are a prevalent neurological condition that significantly impacts the quality of life. Although narrative reviews and clinical trials suggest the potential effects of fatty acid supplementation as a promising approach for migraine prophylaxis, the findings remain inconsistent.

Objective: The aim was to evaluate the efficacy of fatty acid supplementation on migraine clinical outcomes through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
