We report on observations of conical third harmonic emission that emerges during supercontinuum generation produced by self-focusing and filamentation of high (20-200 kHz) repetition rate 180 fs, 1035 nm pulses from an amplified Yb:KGW laser in various nonlinear crystals and glasses: YAG, sapphire, YLF, LiF, CaF, MgF, LiSAF, fused silica and BK-7 glass. We show that conical third harmonic generation is a phase-matched four-wave mixing process, where noncollinear phase matching is achieved by means of reciprocal lattice vector, inversely proportional to the period of nanograting, which is inscribed by femtosecond filament in the volume of nonlinear material. The existence of a particular period required to phase match conical third harmonic generation was indirectly verified by investigations of periodicity features of high and low spatial frequency laser-induced periodic surface structures, in which matter is reorganized in a similar fashion.

Article Synopsis
  • Acetabular chondrolabral delamination (ACD) is a prevalent hip injury with few effective treatments; this study explored the use of PLGA conical nail fixation as a potential method.
  • The experiment involved 24 pigs with surgically induced ACD, divided into three groups: a control (no treatment), an acute fixation group using PLGA nails, and a chronic fixation group using spacers before PLGA nails.
  • Results indicated that the pigs in the acute fixation group showed significantly better cartilage regeneration and proteoglycan deposition compared to the control and chronic groups, suggesting PLGA nails are effective for treating ACD.

Black corals are key species of marine ecosystems. They can be found in dense aggregations worldwide, but some parts of the world remain totally unexplored. This is the case of the Mesophotic Coral Ecosystem of Mo'orea where the Under the Pole scientific expedition explored mesophotic ecosystems between 60 and 120 m depth and focused on whip black corals.

The fourth-stage autoinfective larva of : redescription and diagnostic implications.

J Clin Microbiol

December 2024

School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, College of Public Health, Medical and Veterinary Sciences, James Cook University, Townsville, Queensland, Australia.

Article Synopsis
  • - Human strongyloidiasis is often misdiagnosed due to a lack of awareness about the crucial developmental stages of the parasite, particularly the fourth-stage larvae (L4a).
  • - This study reports the successful identification of these L4a larvae in two clinical cases in Australia using direct wet-mount microscopy methods on sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage samples.
  • - It highlights important morphological characteristics of L4a, such as its conical tail and mature genital features, to improve diagnostic accuracy for parasitological laboratories.

Accommodating version of a schematic eye for emmetropia and myopia.

Ophthalmic Physiol Opt

January 2025

Division of Pharmacy and Optometry, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.

Aim: To develop an accommodating, wide-angle, schematic eye for emmetropia and myopia in which spectacle refraction and accommodation level are input parameters.

Method: The schematic eye is based on an earlier unaccommodated refraction-dependent eye for myopia developed by Atchison in 2006. This has a parabolic gradient index lens and parameters derived from biometric and optical measurements on young adults.
