A central challenge in quantum technologies based on atom-like defects is the efficient collection of the emitter's fluorescence. Optical antennas are appealing as they offer directional emission together with spontaneous emission rate enhancement across a broad emitter spectrum. In this work, we introduce and optimize metal-dielectric nanoantenna designs recessed into a diamond substrate and aligned with quantum emitters. We analyze tradeoffs between external quantum efficiency, collection efficiency, radiative Purcell factor, and overall collected photon rate. This analysis shows that an optimized metal-dielectric hybrid structure can increase the collected photon rate from a nitrogen vacancy center by over two orders of magnitude compared to a bare emitter.

Using a smartphone app to monitor Raynaud's attacks and quantify skin colour changes-towards objective outcome measures for Raynaud's.

Centre for Imaging Sciences, Institute of Population Health, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.
Objectives: Our overall aim was to develop a smartphone app to collect photographic images of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) attacks alongside patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). Specific objectives included assessing the feasibility of patients documenting RP attacks using mobile phones, developing image analysis methods to document colour change, and comparing photographic parameters to 'non-imaging' app and paper diary parameters.
Methods: Study 1: 36 patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc)-related RP photographed RP attacks over 15 days as well as completing an RP paper diary.

Introduction: The authors of the latest recommendations state that osteoporosis diagnosis should not rely solely on densitometric (DXA) criteria. Fracture risk assessment is crucial for determining diagnosis and intervention thresholds. Comprehensive assessment of fracture risk requires consideration of bone mineral density (BMD) results, use of risk calculators like Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAXTM), and analysis of clinical and lifestyle factors.

Introduction: A densitometric diagnosis of osteoporosis qualifies patients to a diagnostic-therapeutic process, but densitometric evaluation may not be sufficient for osteopaenic patients. Therefore, it is essential to assess osteoporosis risk factors, fracture history, and 10-year fracture risk, and classify patients into low-, medium-, high-, or very high-risk categories. In our study, we aimed to assess the risk of fractures in patients with newly diagnosed osteopaenia and determine the percentage of patients at high and very high risk of fracture.

Purpose: Despite major advances in Computer Assisted Diagnosis (CAD), the need for carefully labeled training data remains an important clinical translation barrier. This work aims to overcome this barrier for ultrasound video-based CAD, using video-level classification labels combined with a novel training strategy to improve the generalization performance of state-of-the-art (SOTA) video classifiers.
Methods: SOTA video classifiers were trained and evaluated on a novel ultrasound video dataset of liver and kidney pathologies, and they all struggled to generalize, especially for kidney pathologies.
Fiber-based angular demultiplexer using nanoprinted periodic structures on single-mode multicore fibers.

Precise analysis of light beams is critical for modern applications, especially in integrated photonics, with traditional methods often struggling with efficient angular demultiplexing in compact environments. Here, we present a novel fiber-based approach that achieves angular demultiplexing through angle-sensitive coupling in nanostructure-enhanced multicore fibers. Our device uses axially symmetric nanoprinted structures to distribute the angular power spectrum of incident light over different fiber cores through higher diffraction orders.
