Transmitting data reliably over noisy communication channels is one of the most important applications of information theory, and is well understood for channels modelled by classical physics. However, when quantum effects are involved, we do not know how to compute channel capacities. This is because the formula for the quantum capacity involves maximizing the coherent information over an unbounded number of channel uses. In fact, entanglement across channel uses can even increase the coherent information from zero to non-zero. Here we study the number of channel uses necessary to detect positive coherent information. In all previous known examples, two channel uses already sufficed. It might be that only a finite number of channel uses is always sufficient. We show that this is not the case: for any number of uses, there are channels for which the coherent information is zero, but which nonetheless have capacity.

Ca and Mg are essential nutrients, and deficiency can cause serious health problems. Thus, lack of Ca and Mg can lead to osteoporosis, with incidence rising both in absolute and age-specific terms, while Mg deficiency is associated with type II diabetes. Prevention via vitamin D or estrogen is controversial, and the bioavailability of Ca and Mg from supplements is significantly lower than that from milk products.

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common cause of secondary hypertension, with familial hyperaldosteronism (FH) contributing to a lesser number of cases. FH type IV, a rare subtype, has hardly been reported as a subtype of PA cases. We present a case of a 27-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with circumoral tingling and numbness.

Prostatic urethral lift (UroLift) is a budding minimally invasive technique that utilises mechanical manipulation of the prostate tissue so that the urethra is free from compression, thereby creating a channel for the outflow of urine. The aim of the audit was to assess the short- to medium-term outcomes in our centre in terms of improvement in symptoms, quality of life (QoL) and complication rates.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with well-ordered channels are considered ideal solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) for lithium ionic conductors and are expected to be utilized in all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. However, the outstanding Li conductivity of MOFs, especially the properties at low temperatures, has become a crucial problem to overcome. Herein, a breakthrough is first realized to cope with this challenge a strategy of introducing fluoro-substituted bridging ligands in MOFs.
