Technologies featuring external control of reflected and transmitted light are lately being explored for a wide range of optical and photonic applications. Yet, the options for spectral band tuning are scarce, especially if dynamic control of either reflected or transmitted light is required. In this work we demonstrate a tunable device capable of shifting the reflected light spectrum of an impinging light using dual frequency cholesteric liquid crystals. Modulating the frequency of the applied signal, the Bragg reflection can be dynamically shifted over a wide spectral range and also switched off. This feature can be applied to color filters, augmented reality, multi-color lasers or tunable windows.

Menopause and obstructive sleep apnea: revealing an independent mediating role of visceral fat beyond body mass index.

BMC Endocr Disord

January 2025

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, 430060, China.

Background: Menopause is a significant phase in women's health, in which the incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is significantly increased. Body fat distribution changes with age and hormone levels in postmenopausal women, but the extent to which changes in body fat distribution affect the occurrence of OSA is unclear.

Methods: This research performed a cross-sectional analysis utilizing data from the 2015-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Aims: There were no previous studies comparing aspirin versus P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy following short dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods And Results: We conducted a prespecified subgroup analysis based on complex PCI in the 1-year results of the STOPDAPT-3 trial, which randomly compared 1-month DAPT followed by aspirin monotherapy (aspirin group) to 1-month prasugrel monotherapy followed by clopidogrel monotherapy (clopidogrel group). The main analysis in the present study was the 30-day landmark analysis.

Objectives: How are socioeconomic inequalities modified by, or how do they interact with, preterm birth?

Design: Narrative systematic review of quantitative observational studies of an interaction, or effect modification, between preterm birth and socioeconomic status.

Data Sources: Five databases were searched for studies published between January 2000 and June 2020. Title and abstract were reviewed to identify articles for dual screening.

Background: Depression and anxiety disorders frequently co-occur with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, leading to poor glycaemic control and quality of life through complex biopsychosocial mechanisms. A dual diagnosis of chronic medical and mental health conditions reduces the probability of early recognition and intervention for either. This study was aimed at assessing the prevalence and correlates of depression and anxiety disorders among persons with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a tertiary hospital in North-West Nigeria.

Background/objectives: For low- and middle- income country (LMIC) settings, a global nutrition transition is rapidly emerging as diets shift, resulting in a dual burden of malnutrition. High quality dietary intake data for these populations is essential to understand dietary patterns contributing to these nutrition issues. New technology is emerging to address dietary assessment challenges; however, it is unknown how researchers conducting studies with LMIC populations or under-served groups in high-income countries adopt technology-assisted methods.
