An ELISA-based optical fiber methodology developed for the detection of anti-West Nile virus IgG antibodies in serum was compared to standard colorimetric and chemiluminescent ELISA based on microtiter plates. Colorimetric ELISA was the least sensitive, especially at high titer dilutions. The fiber-optic immunosensor based on the same ELISA immunological rationale was the most sensitive technique.

Enhancement of quantum synchronization in triple-cavity system.
Sci Rep
January 2025
School of Physics and Optoelectronics, Xiangtan University, Xiangtan, 411105, China.
We introduce two strategies to enhance quantum synchronization within a triple-cavity optomechanical system, where each cavity contains an oscillator and is interconnected via optical fibers. Our results demonstrate that applying appropriate periodic modulation to the driving fields or the cavity modes can ensure robust quantum synchronization across both open and closed configurations. This approach offers promising avenues for expanding quantum synchronization capabilities in multi-cavity systems and has significant implications for advancing quantum synchronization generation and application in complex networks.

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition where the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid in the brain increases without a known cause. It typically affects adults but can also occur in adolescents and children, although it is less common. Numerous elements, including coagulopathy, have been documented in previous cases as potential etiological factors of IIH.

The morphology and thickness of the retinal layers are valuable biomarkers for retinal health and development. The retinal layers in mice are similar to those in humans; thus, a mouse is appropriate for studying the retina. The objectives of this systematic review were: (1) to describe normal retinal morphology quantitatively using retinal layer thickness measured from birth to age 6 months in healthy mice; and (2) to describe morphological changes in physiological retinal development over time using the longitudinal (in vivo) and cross-sectional (ex vivo) data from the included studies.

Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR.
Purpose: To describe two cases of pediatric patients with Coats disease who developed nerve fiber layer (NFL) schisis.
Methods: Observational case series.
Results: Two male pediatric patients, ages 2 and 14, who were being treated for Coats disease were found to have NFL schisis on optical coherence tomography.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan.
Background: Dementia is age-related with a significant genetic contribution, yet genome-wide association studies have not fully accounted for heritability. This discrepancy may in part be due to reliance on SNPs and small indels. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data in the Japanese population may reveal population-specific susceptibility loci for dementia.
