Article Abstract

In this paper, the implementation of an all-optical logic gate based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) configuration is addressed with underlying nonlinear slot-waveguides. In order to reduce power consumption requirements, different ring-resonator structures are introduced in the arms of the MZI. A nonlinear Transfer Matrix Method is developed and used to analyze the response of the nonlinear MZI in order to optimize power requirements with maximum bit rates. The numerical analysis shows that a reduction in the switching power from 2.5 W to less than 5 mW can be achieved by a proper design of the ring-resonator structures introduced in the MZI arms. In addition, it is shown that the logic gate can handle bit rates higher than 60 Gbit/s.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on breast cancer care in terms of the stage at presentation, treatment delays, and follow-up in a tertiary care center in Lebanon.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study compared patients with breast cancer who presented to a tertiary care center in Lebanon before (September 2019-December 2019) and during (September 2020-December 2020) the COVID-19 pandemic. We extracted data from the electronic medical records of patients with breast cancer who had their initial presentation, were under treatment, or were on follow-up during our period of interest.

Aim: Electronic cigarette use (vaping) has increased rapidly among adolescents globally. Most electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) contain nicotine, which is addictive and can cause behaviour problems and mood dysregulation. We sought to assess whether an educational intervention increased knowledge about vaping-related health risks and desire to quit among high school students.

Background: Patient portals, or secure websites linked to electronic medical records, have emerged as tools to provide patients with timely access to their health information. To support the potential benefits of patient portals such as improved engagement in health care, it is essential to understand how patients and caregivers experience these portals.

Objective: This study aimed to explore patient and caregiver experiences, facilitators, and barriers to accessing and using a patient portal called MyChart during the initial stages of its implementation.
