In the last few years, highly anisotropic metamaterials have been explored in various geometries, showcasing interesting routes to achieve better control of sound propagation. As an extreme example, hyperbolic metasurfaces have been shown to offer broadband enhanced sound-matter interactions and diffraction-less propagation of acoustic waves, providing opportunities for sub-diffraction imaging and enhanced sound emission. In this study, we show that structure design of a locally resonant metamaterial enables extreme anisotropic responses, ranging from elliptic to hyperbolic propagation of acoustic surface waves, offering interesting opportunities for extreme sound guiding and steering at the subwavelength scale well compatible with a wide range of additive manufacturing techniques.

According to the fluorescence internal filtering effect (IFE), the more the absorption spectrum of the quencher overlaps with the excitation and emission spectra of the fluorescent substance, the better the quenching effect and, correspondingly, the more significant and sensitive the contrast becomes when the fluorescence is turned on. Thus, in the competitive fluorescence-quenching lateral flow immunoassays (FQ-LFIAs), the fluorescence quencher with an outstanding optical property is of great importance. Herein, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and polydopamine (PDA) coengineered covalent organic frameworks (COF/Au@PDA) were synthesized as a fluorescence quencher to increase spectral overlap.

Background: Castleman disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder, with intracranial involvement being exceedingly rare. Unicentric Castleman disease (UCD) is typically benign and localized, but its presentation can mimic other intracranial pathologies, complicating diagnosis.
Case Description: We reported a 52-year-old woman who presented with progressive headaches and language disturbances.

Introduction: Branch atheromatous disease (BAD) is prone to early neurological deterioration (END), leading to a poor prognosis. The most common arteries causing END are the lenticulostriate arteries (LSA) and the paramedian pontine arteries (PPA). To gain insight into the characteristics of symptomatic plaques and their association with poor prognosis in patients with BAD, we conducted a prospective study using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI).

Astragali Radix (AR) is one of the monarch drugs of Fangji Huangqi decoction and has the effects of inducing diuresis to alleviate edema, tonifying and strengthening the body. However, there is a paucity of research regarding the effective fraction and the underlying metabolic mechanism of AR on nephrotic syndrome (NS). This work aims to elucidate the potential mechanisms of AR treating NS, as well as to identify effective part and components.

Stimulant laxatives (especially bisacodyl and sodium picosulfate) are frequently found to be adulterated into slimming foods, causing health-threatening effects to consumers. Sensitive, accurate, easy-to-operate and portable multiplex analytical techniques are still desired for the rapid screening of stimulant laxatives in slimming foods. In this work, a highly sensitive dual-modal colorimetric/photothermal lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFIA) was established based on facilely prepared concentrated gold nanoparticles (cAuNPs).
