Laser filaments can project intensities sufficient to ablate materials at long ranges, but the clamping of a filament's intensity to ∼10 W/cm limits the effective ablation of targets with which the laser pulses interact. We seek to identify regimes in which auxiliary radiation can be used to augment the ablation created by single filaments. In this work, the combination of an 800 nm, 50 fs beam at single filament intensity and a 1064 nm, 8 ns laser pulse is studied. The ablation of GaAs is quantitatively evaluated for varying interpulse delays. Under optimum conditions, an ∼threefold increase in the ablation is observed. The metrology and surface features of the resultant ablation craters are examined to gain insight on the mechanisms of ablation in the dual-pulse cases.

Aspect Category Sentiment Analysis (ACSA) is a fine-grained sentiment analysis task aimed at predicting the sentiment polarity associated with aspect categories within a sentence.Most existing ACSA methods are based on a given aspect category to locate sentiment words related to it. When irrelevant sentiment words have semantic meaning for the given aspect category, it may cause the problem that sentiment words cannot be matched with aspect categories.

Objective: Surgery and thermal ablation are both viable treatment modalities for patients diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism (HPT). However, the comparative efficacy of these approaches remains uncertain. The objective of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical complications and therapeutic strategies in managing HPT.

Introduction And Objectives: Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is one of the cornerstones of rhythm-control therapy for symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel ablation modality that involves the application of electrical pulses causing cellular death, and it has preferential tissue specificity. In this study, we aimed to share a one-year single center experience of AF ablation with PFA.

Background & Aims: There is conflicting literature describing the durability of complete remission of intestinal metaplasia (CRIM) after endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) for Barrett's esophagus (BE). We aim to assess the timeline, predictors and long-term outcomes of recurrence.
Methods: Data on 365 patients who underwent EET for dysplastic BE were collected prospectively between 2008 and 2022 at a Barrett's referral unit.
The role of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis in thyroid cancer.

The hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, risk stratification, effectiveness of radioiodine therapy, and treatment response evaluation in epithelial thyroid cancer. Supraphysiological doses of levothyroxine are used in patients with intermediate-risk and high-risk thyroid cancer to suppress thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) to prevent tumour progression. However, free thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine have also been found to promote tumour growth in thyroid cancer preclinical models.
