When measuring atmospheric turbulence along the propagation path to an extended non-cooperative target, a wavefront sensor normally suffers from severe noise due to speckle. In this work, we quantify the benefits of speckle mitigation via polychromatic illumination for a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. We obtain results over a wide range of conditions by using the spectral-slicing approach to polychromatic wave-optics simulations. To quantify speckle noise, even when turbulence is present, we introduce a metric involving racetrack-mode strength in slope-discrepancy space. The results show that polychromatic illumination greatly reduces speckle noise under realistic conditions. Even with near worst-case conditions, 15 coherence lengths per resolution cell reduce the wavefront-measurement error by 56%.

Diabetic microvascular dysfunction is evidenced by disrupted endothelial cell junctions and increased microvascular permeability. However, effective strategies against these injuries remain scarce. In this study, the type 2 diabetes mouse model was established by high-fat diet combined with streptozotocin injection in Rnd3 endothelial- specific transgenic and knockout mice.

While conventional Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy (DCS) provides marginal brain sensitivity for CBFi in adult humans, new techniques have recently emerged to improve diffuse light throughput and thus, brain sensitivity. Here we further optimize one such approach, interferometric diffusing wave spectroscopy (iDWS), with respect to number of independent channels, camera duty cycle and full well capacity, incident power, noise and artifact mitigation, and data processing.

Introduction: Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory disease associated with elevated cardiovascular risk due to inflammatory and oxidative stress. Two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) can detect both regional and global myocardial strain. Impairment of ventricular strain can assist in the early detection of myocardial dysfunction.

Article Synopsis
- Acne vulgaris affects many young people globally, linked with increased levels of C acnes; concerns about antibiotic resistance push for nonpharmacological treatments like microneedling and postbiotics.
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of a postbiotic formulation alongside microneedling in treating mild-to-moderate facial acne in 20 Chinese patients, focusing on symptom improvement and safety.
- Results indicated significant improvements in acne severity and skin appearance, with high patient satisfaction and no major adverse reactions, suggesting this combination may be a promising alternative for managing acne.
