We use a vector phase sensitive amplification (PSA) scheme, which can eliminate the inherent phase noise (PN) to amplitude noise (AN) conversion in a conventional PSA process. A dispersion-engineered silicon strip waveguide is used to investigate the vector PSA scheme at the telecom wavelengths. The phase-dependent gain and phase-to-phase transfer functions as well as constellation diagram at different signal polarization states (SPSs) are numerically analyzed. It is found that the PN to AN conversion is completely suppressed when the SPS is identical to one of the pump polarization states. Moreover, the binary phase shift keying signal is regenerated by the proposed vector PSA scheme, and the error vector magnitude is calculated to assess the regeneration capacity. Our results have potential application in all-optical signal processing.

Long-Term Survival of Methotrexate as First-Line Therapy in Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis and Undifferentiated Arthritis.

J Clin Med

Academic Rheumatology Unit, Department of Medicine and Health Sciences "Vincenzo Tiberio", University of Molise, 86100 Campobasso, Italy.

: In the era of biotechnological drugs, methotrexate (MTX) still represents the first-line treatment in chronic inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and undifferentiated arthritis (UA). The aim of our study was to evaluate the persistence of MTX as a first-line treatment in a group of patients with chronic inflammatory arthritis. : We conducted a retrospective analysis of a database of outpatients diagnosed with RA, PsA, or UA who visited our Rheumatology Clinic from January 2014 to January 2022.

Objective With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, models like Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) are increasingly being evaluated for their potential applications in healthcare. The Prescribing Safety Assessment (PSA) is a standardised test for junior physicians in the UK to evaluate prescribing competence. This study aims to assess ChatGPT's ability to pass the PSA and its performance across different exam sections.

Surveillance after Focal Therapy - a Comprehensive Review.

Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis

October 2024

Department of Urology and Duke Cancer Institute, Duke Medical Center, Durham, NC, USA.

Background: to date, no standardized, evidence-based follow-up schemes exist for the monitoring of patients who underwent focal therapy (FT) and expert centers rely mainly on their own experience and/or institutional protocols. We aimed to perform a comprehensive review of the most advantageous follow-up strategies and their rationale after FT for prostate cancer (PCa).

Methods: a narrative review of the literature was conducted to investigate different follow-up protocols of FT for PCa.
