Objective: Development of transnasal fiberoptic laryngoscopy, integration of an operative channel (OC), the advent of high-definition television imaging, with improvements in laser technology, cleared the way for office-based laryngology. Three treatment categories can be identified: bioendoscopy-guided biopsy; laryngeal injection; laser-assisted surgery.
Methods: 26 patients underwent OBPs at the Otolaryngology Clinic of IRCCS Policlinico San Martino, Genoa, Italy. Sixty-eight procedures were performed: 60 for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), 5 for unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) and 3 for glottic leukoplakias. Neoblucaine 5% was administrated through the operative channel, for local anaesthesia. All procedures were carried out with the physician standing behind the patient. Narrow band imaging (NBI - Olympus Medical) or i-scan (Pentax Medical) were used to enhance the accuracy of the biopsy thanks to identification of atypical vascular patterns. Laryngeal injections were made using a 25G flexible needle. Opera Evo (Quanta system IEC/EN 60825-1:2007) is a hybrid fibre laser that is used for "blanching" and vaporisation of RRP lesions and to treat selected leukoplakias that were previously biopsied.
Conclusions: No major complications occurred during the procedures.

In this work, we realize bilayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS) transistors with in-plane gates on sapphire substrates. Through sequential transferring of MoS, e-beam lithography, and metal lift-off, a device with channel width/length of 500:400 nm is fabricated. With a 250 nm separation between the in-plane gate and MoS channel, a drain current as high as 37 μA with a clear saturation region is observed.

Breast cancer is a prevalent and highly heterogeneous malignancy that continues to be a major global health concern. Voltage-gated sodium channels are primarily known for their role in neuronal excitability, but emerging evidence suggests their involvement in the pathogenesis of various cancers, including breast cancer. However, the effect of β-subunits on breast cancer cells is not yet studied.

Acute postinfarction ventricular septum defect has a persistently high mortality rate due to unstable scars in the acute phase, which make surgery or occluder use unsuitable. Delayed closure increases the risk of irreversible hemodynamic deterioration. To address this, a dual latex balloon catheter was designed for temporary closure and tested in a pig model.

Studies have linked inhalation anesthesia and surgery to increased cognitive impairment, particularly in the elderly. Our previous research showed that isoflurane, but not desflurane, affected cognitive function in mice by modulating cyclophilin D (CypD), a key regulator of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) and mitochondrial function. Both anesthetics metabolize into trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), which is associated with cognitive deficits.

Significance: We introduce a visible-light polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) system that operates in the spectral domain with balanced detection (BD) capability. While the BD improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the use of shorter wavelengths improves spatial resolution and birefringence sensitivity.
Aim: We aim to implement a new optical design, characterize its performance, and investigate the imaging potential for biological tissues.
