Self-mixing interferometry (SMI), as an extremely simple and compact laser range finding technique, is especially appropriate to develop minitype sensors for narrow space and small precision parts. In order to enhance the distance resolution performance of this technique, we described the mechanism of nonlinearity in laser frequency under injected current tuning, and proposed a current reshaping method to linearize the laser frequency to attain higher resolution in the scheme of SMI. The proof of nonlinearity was obtained through numerical simulation by considering the change of temperature and carrier concentration and experiment by complex wavelet analysis. The current reshaping method, based on the experimental data of wavelength versus injected current, was proposed to suppress the nonlinearity and improve the distance resolution to better than 20 μm over the range of 2.4-20.4 cm. The influence of tuning parameters and other sources of error was discussed additionally.

Aerosol dynamics in dental clinics: effects of ventilation mode on the mitigation of airborne diseases transmission.

Environ Pollut

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases & National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610041, Sichuan province, China. Electronic address:

Dental operations inherently involve a high risk of airborne cross-infection among medical staff and patients due to the exposure of respiratory secretions, which contain pathogenic microorganisms and typically spread in the form of aerosols. In order to contribute to the understanding of aerosol dynamics during dental operation and efficiently mitigate their dispersion and deposition through appropriate ventilation, 3D numerical simulations and full-scale experimental measurements were performed in this study. The indoor airflow distribution and dynamic aerosol behaviors observed under three optimized ventilation schemes (Scenario I-III) were compared with those observed under the current ventilation system.

The injectable contraceptive, depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), is associated with compromised cervical mucosal barriers. High-resolution spatial transcriptomics is applied here to reveal the spatial localization of these altered molecular markers. Ectocervical tissue samples from Kenyan sex workers using DMPA, or non-hormonal contraceptives, underwent spatial transcriptomics and gene set enrichment analyses.

Purpose Of Review: This narrative review aims to report upon the existing treatment evidence and strategies for managing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) during treatment, including transurethral resection and intravesical therapy. This review also attempts to examine novel approaches to mitigate treatment-related lower urinary tract symptoms and improve treatment adherence.

Recent Findings: There is sparse but promising evidence in improving LUTS secondary to intravesical therapy.

Combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) has dramatically improved the quality of life for people living with HIV (PLWH). However, over 4 million PLWH are over the age of fifty and experience accompanying HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). To understand how HIV impacts the central nervous system, a reliable and feasible model of HIV is necessary.
