Hollow ducts compressing and homogenizing the emission of laser diode arrays are cheap, low weight alternatives to lens ducts. An analytic model is presented describing hollow ducts including internal reflection losses, which is useful in optimizing these devices, especially in determining the optimum length for maximum transmission efficiency. As an example, a gold coated duct is presented showing high transmission efficiencies of >90% comparable to lens ducts.

Blunt abdominal trauma frequently results in visceral injury to either solid or hollow organs; however, injury to the gallbladder is rare. This is most likely due to the anatomical position of the gallbladder, which is well-insulated posterior to the liver and rib cage. Gallbladder injuries can be in the form of avulsion, contusion, or laceration.

Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is a precursor of invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast. LCIS cells lack cell-cell cohesion due to the loss of E-cadherin. LCIS cells grow in mammary lobules rather than in ducts.

Article Synopsis
- Visceral muscle dysmotility syndrome (VMDS) is a rare condition seen in lupus patients, marked by issues like thickened intestinal walls and dilated organs.
- The best imaging method for diagnosing VMDS isn't well-defined, but computed tomography (CT) has been commonly used, while this study introduced the use of 18FDG-PET-CT for the first time.
- The case study revealed significant metabolic activity in the intestines and liver during a lupus flare, prompting a literature review on VMDS, symptoms, and imaging methods.
Pediatric Pyloric Transection: An Unusual Injury Following Blunt Abdominal Trauma.
Am J Case Rep
September 2024
Department of Pediatric General Surgery, King Abdullah Specialized Children's Hospital, Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric trauma often presents unique injury patterns due to anatomical and physiological differences, requiring clinicians to be prepared for diverse cases, including rare injuries like isolated pyloric damage.
- A case of a 19-month-old boy with abdominal pain and vomiting after being injured by a falling wardrobe demonstrated severe trauma, leading to the discovery of a complete transection of the pylorus during surgery.
- Isolated pyloric injuries in children are rare and can lead to significant complications; thus, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for better recovery outcomes.
