Coherence time is one of the fundamental characteristics of light sources. Methods based on autocorrelation have been widely applied from optical domain to soft X-rays to characterize the radiation coherence time. However, for the hard X-ray regime, due to the lack of proper mirrors, it is extremely difficult to implement such autocorrelation scheme. In this paper, a novel approach for characterizing the coherence time of a hard X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) is proposed and validated numerically. A phase shifter is adopted to control the correlation between X-ray and microbunched electrons. The coherence time of the FEL pulse can be extracted from the cross-correlation. Semi-analytical analysis and three-dimensional time-dependent numerical simulations are presented to elaborate the details. A coherence time of 218.2 attoseconds for 6.92 keV X-ray FEL pulses is obtained in our simulation based on the configuration of Linac Coherent Light Source. This approach provides critical temporal coherence diagnostics for X-ray FELs, and is decoupled from machine parameters, applicable for any photon energy, radiation brightness, repetition rate and FEL pulse duration.

Purpose: To evaluate the predictive accuracy of various machine learning (ML) statistical models in forecasting postoperative visual acuity (VA) outcomes following macular hole (MH) surgery using preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters.
Methods: This retrospective study included 158 eyes (151 patients) with full-thickness MHs treated between 2017 and 2023 by the same surgeon and using the same intraoperative surgical technique. Data from electronic medical records and OCT scans were extracted, with OCT-derived qualitative and quantitative MH characteristics recorded.
Debilitating anxiety is pervasive in the modern world. Choices to approach or avoid are common in everyday life and excessive avoidance is a cardinal feature of all anxiety disorders. Here, we used intracranial EEG to define a distributed prefrontal-limbic circuit dynamics supporting approach and avoidance.

This review explores recent technological advances in intraoperative imaging during retinal disease surgeries, focusing on their applicability in clinical practice and impact on surgical outcomes. A literature search identified studies discussing new imaging technologies, their advantages over conventional methods, relevant case studies, and literature reviews. Exclusion criteria included studies unrelated to retinal diseases, imaging technologies not suitable for intraoperative use, outdated articles, and nonscientific reports.

Introduction: Repetitive focal and rotational activation patterns are currently used as additional ablation targets for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, there is no evidence that all these detected targets are actual sources of AF. In this paper, we present an approach that detects and ranks AF activation patterns not only based on the degree of pattern repetitiveness but also on the extent to which they are able to entrain their vicinity.

We studied the vibrational coherences during the ultrafast internal conversions (ICs) of pyrimidine nucleobases and -sides in aqueous solutions and the gas phase with an instrumental resolution of 14 fs. The coherence of the same ring-breathing vibrational mode with a frequency of 750 cm was observed. In the gas phase, the vibrational coherence was transferred during IC from the ππ* to the nπ* state, and it survived for approximately 1 ps.
