Frequency conversion of CO laser radiation was experimentally studied in ZnGeP(2) and GaSe nonlinear crystals. To enhance conversion efficiency, we applied a CO laser system "master oscillator power amplifier" with concurrent mode locking and Q switching. The laser system emitted ∼1-μs train of ns pulses. Internal efficiency of frequency doubling reached 37% in ZnGeP(2) crystal and 5% in GaSe crystal. Two-stage frequency conversion (including second-harmonic and difference-frequency generation) in ZnGeP(2) crystal under optical pumping by a selective two-spectral line CO laser was studied.

The disease's trajectory of Alzheimer disease (AD) is associated with and negatively correlated to hippocampal hyperexcitability. Here, we show that during the asymptomatic stage in a knockin (KI) mouse model of Alzheimer disease (APP; APPKI), hippocampal hyperactivity occurs at the synaptic compartment, propagates to the soma, and is manifesting at low frequencies of stimulation. We show that this aberrant excitability is associated with a deficient adenosine tone, an inhibitory neuromodulator, driven by reduced levels of CD39/73 enzymes, responsible for the extracellular ATP-to-adenosine conversion.

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the rate of conversion from laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) to open cholecystectomy (OC) in our population and determine the potential risk factors associated with it. Understanding these factors helps surgeons predict complex cases and plan surgeries, reducing patient risks and improving outcomes.

Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023, at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, on 349 patients undergoing elective LC.

Background: Few studies have assessed the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in patients with metachronous colorectal cancer (MCRC). This study aims to evaluate the safety and outcomes of laparoscopic surgery in MCRC patients who have previously undergone colorectal cancer surgery.

Methods: We compared the short-term outcomes of open versus laparoscopic surgery in patients with MCRC between October 2007 and October 2022.

Background: Both laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) and robotic hepatectomy (RH) have been performed for tumors in nearly all liver segments. However, few studies have compared the outcomes of patients who underwent open hepatectomy (OH), LH and RH for the treatment of Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage 0-A HCC in S7/8.

Methods: The clinical data of patients who underwent S7/8 resection for the treatment of BCLC stage 0-A HCC in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from July 2017 to July 2023 were retrospectively collected.

This paper presents a novel approach to modeling and controlling a solar photovoltaic conversion system(SPCS) that operates under real-time weather conditions. The primary contribution is the introduction of an uncertain model, which has not been published before, simulating the SPCS's actual functioning. The proposed robust control strategy involves two stages: first, modifying the standard Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm to generate an optimal reference voltage using real-time measurements of temperature, solar irradiance, and wind speed.
