The flow of electromagnetic wave energy through a chain of coupled cavities is considered. The cavities are assumed to be of sufficiently irregular shape that their eigenmodes are described by random matrix theory. The cavities are coupled by electrically short single mode transmission lines. Approximate expressions for the power coupled into successive cavities are derived, and the predictions are compared with Monte Carlo simulations. The analytic formulas separate into a product of factors. Consequently, the distribution of power in the last cavity of a very long chain approaches lognormal. For lossless cavities, signatures of Anderson localization, similar to those of the conductances of quantum wires, are observed.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of mankind's most common diseases with a nonspecific etiology. Lasers are gaining traction in dentistry due to their remarkable effects on pain reduction. Their convenience and lack of side effects have made them an attractive alternative to conventional interventions.

Background: Dental caries (DC) is a significant common disease of the oral cavity. Recently, researchers have focused more on the impact of poor sleep habits on the incidence and development of DC, which aroused our interest in the study of the correlation and causal relationship between sleep and dental caries.
Methods: In this study, Linkage disequilibrium score (LDSC) regression method was used to found the genetic correlation between different sleep traits and DC, while bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) methods were used to explore the causal relationship.

This descriptive study focuses on the oral health of African migrants, especially adolescents, arriving in the Canary Islands. Notably, these patients show a high prevalence of caries and oral mucosal alterations. These are influenced by multifactorial factors, such as living conditions in their country of origin, hygiene habits, and sugar-rich diets.

We propose a double-cavity optomechanical system with nonreciprocal coupling to realize tunable optical nonreciprocity that has the prospect of making an optical device for the manipulation of information processing and communication. Here we investigate the steady-state dynamic processes of the double-cavity system and the transmission of optical waves from opposite cavity directions. The transmission spectrum of the probe field is presented in detail and the physical mechanism of the induced transparency window is analyzed.

Coccidioidomycosis is an endemic fungal infection caused by the soil-dwelling Coccidioides immitis/posadasii. One prior study showed that persons with diabetes mellitus (DM) with elevated glucose at the time of coccidioidomycosis had poorer coccidioidal outcomes compared to persons without DM. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between hemoglobin A1C (A1C) and outcomes among persons with coccidioidomycosis and co-existing DM.
