We present a new method to create a coupled waveguide array via tapering a seven-core telecommunications fiber. The fiber based waveguide array is demonstrated to exhibit the novel physics associated with coupled waveguide arrays, such as discrete diffraction and discrete self-focusing. The saturable absorber characteristics of the device are characterized and an autocorrelation measurement reveals significant single-pass pulse reshaping.

Early diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is challenging because of its depth, which often leads to misdiagnosis during ultrasound examinations. The unique PDAC tumor microenvironment (TME) is characterized by significant fibrous tissue growth, and high interstitial pressure hinders drug penetration into tumors. Additionally, hypoxia and immune suppression within the tumor contribute to poor responses to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, ultimately leading to an unfavorable prognosis.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has achieved potent antitumor efficacy in hematological malignancies; however, because of limitations in CAR T-cell recruitment, infiltration, activation, and functional persistence in the tumor, its efficacy in solid tumors has been suboptimal. To overcome these challenges, combinational strategies that include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immune checkpoint inhibitor agent therapy with CAR T-cell therapy are being investigated. The established functional characteristics of the abovementioned therapies provide a rationale for the use of a combinational approach with CAR T cells.

Purpose: To systematically review the use of suction/vacuum-assisted retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in children/adolescents with kidney stones.
Methods: The PICOS model (Patient Intervention Comparison Outcome Study type) was used to frame and answer the clinical question; P: children and adolescent men with kidney stones; I: use of suction during PCNL or RIRS; C: no suction devices or none; O: complications and stone-free rate (SFR); S: prospective and retrospective studies; case reports. The literature search was performed on 14th May 2024 using Embase, PubMed, and Scopus.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has the potential to induce neuroinflammation, which may increase the risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders. Ultrasound stimulation to the abdomen is a potential treatment for dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute colitis. The present study aimed to investigate whether abdominal low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can alleviate DSS-induced neuroinflammation through the microbiota-gut-brain axis.
