A mode-locked extended cavity quantum well ring laser at 1.58 μm with a repetition rate of 2.5 GHz in the form of a photonic integrated circuit is presented. The device is realized using InP-based active-passive integration technology. The 33 mm long cavity contains gain, saturable absorption, and passive waveguide sections as well as phase shifter sections to enable fine tuning of the spectral position of the lasing modes. Passive and hybrid mode-locked operation, along with the wavelength tuning of the laser modes, are experimentally demonstrated. In the passive mode-locking regime, a beat signal at the fundamental round trip frequency with a 3 dB bandwidth of 6.1 kHz is produced on a fast photo diode.

Sensitive, rapid and label-free biochemical sensors are needed for many applications. In this protocol, we describe biochemical detection using FLOWER (frequency locked optical whispering evanescent resonator)-a technique that we have used to detect single protein molecules in aqueous solution as well as exosomes, ribosomes and low part-per-trillion concentrations of volatile organic compounds. Whispering gallery mode microtoroid resonators confine light for extended time periods (hundreds of nanoseconds).

Buchwald-Hartwig (BH) aminations are crucial for synthesizing arylamine motifs in numerous bioactive molecules and fine chemicals. While homogeneous palladium complexes can be effective catalysts, their high costs and environmental impact motivate the search for alternative approaches. Heterogeneous palladium single-atom catalysts (SAC) offer promising recoverable alternatives in C-C cross-couplings.

Actinomycosis is a chronic, granulomatous infection caused by species, a group of anaerobic, gram-positive bacteria commonly found in the human oral cavity, gastrointestinal, and female genital tracts. Although it predominantly affects the cervicofacial region, rare manifestations such as gallbladder actinomycosis can occur. This report presents a case of gallbladder actinomycosis in a 61-year-old man who presented with a two-week history of right upper quadrant pain, jaundice, nausea, and vomiting.

Stereotactic systems have traditionally used Cartesian coordinate combined with linear algebraic mathematical models to navigate the brain. Previously, the development of a novel stereotactic system allowed for improved patient comfort, reduced size, and carried through a simplified interface for surgeons. The system was designed with a work envelope and trajectory range optimized for deep brain stimulation applications only.

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune condition characterized by a reduced platelet count due to enhanced peripheral destruction and impaired platelet production. While thrombocytopenia is a well-documented complication of various viral infections, cytomegalovirus (CMV), a member of the Herpesviridae family, is primarily associated with infections in immunocompromised patients and is rarely implicated in causing severe thrombocytopenia in immunocompetent patients. This article aims to highlight the importance of considering CMV as a significant etiological factor in ITP, particularly in cases of asymptomatic thrombocytopenia.
