In 1989, opaque contrast arthrography of temporomandibular joint is still seldom used. A brief historical review of the procedure is presented here, and the technique of puncturing the menisco-condylar and menisco-temporal compartments is discussed. The value of injecting opaque contrast material into the lower compartment and carrying out kinetic and tomographic studies as well as bilateral examinations is stressed. Normal aspects are described with their variants, as well as pathological ones (reducible and non-reducible luxations, perforations, distension of the bilaminar zone, adhesions, etc.). Both the place of arthrography in relation to other investigations (TDM, IRM) and its indications for visualization of menisco-condylar problems are discussed.

Electrochromic materials were discovered in the 1960s when scientists observed reversible changes between the light and dark states in WO thin films under different voltages. Since then, researchers have identified various electrochromic material systems, including transition metal oxides, polymer materials, and small molecules. However, the electrochromic phenomenon has rarely been observed in non-metallic elemental substances.

Electrochromism stands out as a highly promising technology for applications including variable optical attenuators, optical switches, transparent displays, and dynamic windows. The pursuit of high-contrast tunability in electrochromic devices remains a challenging goal. Here, the first photochromic hydrogel electrolyte is reported for electro- and photo-dual responsive chromatic devices that yield a high transmittance contrast at 633 nm (ΔT = 83.

Article Synopsis
- A dielectric microsphere can gather light into a photonic nanojet (PNJ) that moves towards a near-infrared laser, while it was previously thought Janus particles with a metal layer couldn't stable produce PNJs.
- Researchers found that synthetic Janus particles can also generate a PNJ and experience a backaction force due to their unique composition, even with non-resonant light.
- The study reveals that these Janus particles show a unique hysteresis effect in the backaction force based on laser power changes, suggesting potential applications in manipulating and sorting irregular particles using light.
Acoustic contrast agents and reporter genes play a critical role in allowing ultrasound to visualize blood flow, map molecules and track cellular function in opaque living organisms. However, existing ultrasound methods to image acoustic contrast agents predominantly focus on 2D planar imaging, while the biological phenomena of interest unfurl in three dimensions. Here, we introduce a method for efficient, dynamic imaging of contrast agents and reporter genes in 3D using multiplexed matrix array transducers.

In contrast to synthetic aperture imaging systems operating at microwave or millimeter-wave frequencies where the frequency of the transmitter is scanned in the frequency domain, in our imaging system, all the frequency components are contained in a single terahertz pulse that can be generated and detected by photoconductive antennas. The image algorithm was analyzed theoretically and confirmed numerically using the finite-difference time-domain method.
