Metasurfaces precisely control the amplitude, polarization and phase of light, with applications spanning imaging, sensing, modulation and computing. Three crucial performance metrics of metasurfaces and their constituent resonators are the quality factor (Q factor), mode volume (V) and ability to control far-field radiation. Often, resonators face a trade-off between these parameters: a reduction in V leads to an equivalent reduction in Q, albeit with more control over radiation.

Introduction: Prolonged length of stay (LOS) in emergency departments (ED) is a widespread problem in every hospital around the globe. Multiple factors cause it and can have a negative impact on the quality of care provided to the patients and the patient satisfaction rates. This project aimed to ensure that the average LOS of patients in a tertiary care cancer hospital stays below 3 hours.

Purpose: To examine the effects of treatment with a thermomechanical skin device to the eyelid area on the clinical signs and symptoms of patients who suffer from dry eye disease (DED) secondary to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
Methods: Forty patients aged 45 years or older with DED due to MGD were recruited. Both eyes (n = 80) of each patient received three treatments with the Tixel device (Novoxel®, Israel), with each treatment separated by a 2-week period.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is used to manage bone loss in revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA). However, the application of PMMA has been associated with complications such as volumetric shrinkage, necrosis, wear debris, and loosening. Glass polyalkenoate cements (GPCs) have potential bone cementation applications.
