A single procedure based on speckle statistics is proposed to identify the scattering origins of light (surface or bulk). Successful results are obtained with high-scattering samples, which offers complementary techniques for imaging or characterization in random media. The speckle statistics are shown to be correlated to partial polarization. Angle-resolved ellipsometric data confirm all conclusions.

Evaluating the Role of Allopurinol in Mitigating Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

This meta-analysis investigates the potential of allopurinol to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), a common and serious complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). CIN is particularly prevalent among high-risk populations, including patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS), where the administration of contrast agents can exacerbate renal injury. Allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, is known for its dual action in reducing oxidative stress and uric acid production, positioning it as a promising therapeutic candidate to mitigate CIN.

Building on promising pilot study results that suggested homeopathy's non-inferiority, this multicenter trial aims to validate these findings and assess their broader clinical applicability.
Method: This open-label, randomized controlled trial was conducted on children (aged 02 to 12 years), suffering from acute otitis media.
How partisan news outlets frame vested interests in climate change.
J Environ Manage
January 2025
Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, United States.
This paper reports a theoretically-driven quantitative content analysis of news media discourse on climate change, its effects, and solutions to understand how US news discourse differs from widely supported scientific conclusions on global climate. Despite the dire warnings and calls to action, US public opinion on the causes and solutions to climate change remain divided. In the global context, the US's split views are anomalous and may be an artifact of the US media's coverage of the climate crisis.

Introduction: Non-adherence to tuberculosis (TB) treatment poses a significant challenge to effective TB management globally and is a major contributor to the emergence of multidrug-resistant TB. Although adherence to TB treatment has been widely studied, a comprehensive evaluation of the comparative levels of adherence in high- versus low-TB burden settings remains lacking. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to assess the levels of adherence to TB treatment in high-TB burden countries compared to low-burden countries.
