Based on the impedance-matching theory, a double-layer metal structure dynamical focusing cylindrical metalens with a stretchable substrate was designed at the operation frequency of 0.1 THz. The diameter, initial focal length, and NA of the metalens were 80 mm, 40 mm, and 0.7, respectively. The transmission phase of the unit cell structures could cover 0-2 by changing the size of the metal bars, and then the different unit cells were spatially arranged as the designed phase profile for the metalens. When the stretching range of the substrate was about 100%-140%, the focal length changed from 39.3 mm to 85.5 mm, the dynamic focusing range was about 117.6% of the minimum focal length, and the focusing efficiency decreases from 49.2% to 27.9%. Then, by rearranging the unit cell structures, a dynamically adjustable bifocal metalens was numerically realized. Using the same stretching ratio, compared to a single focus metalens, the bifocal metalens can provide a larger focal length control range.

Critical Care Challenges and Mortality Predictors in Older Adults: A Comprehensive Cohort Analysis.
Cureus
December 2024
Critical Care, Unidade Local de Saúde de Lisboa Ocidental, Lisbon, PRT.
Purpose: As the population ages, critically ill older adults increasingly face complications and require more healthcare resources during hospitalization. Since post-ICU (intensive care unit) mortality is an important consideration, particularly in elderly populations, this study aims to assess whether advanced age impacts ICU and post-ICU mortality by comparing outcomes between patients aged 81 years and above with those below 81 years.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from 3,821 ICU patients treated at the Unidade Local de Saúde de Lisboa Ocidental between 2015 and 2023.
Super-resolution imaging of proteins inside live mammalian cells with mLIVE-PAINT.

Super-resolution microscopy has revolutionized biological imaging, enabling the visualization of structures at the nanometer length scale. Its application in live cells, however, has remained challenging. To address this, we adapted LIVE-PAINT, an approach we established in yeast, for application in live mammalian cells.

Horta Institute, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and quality of healing of main corneal incisions in femtosecond laser procedures in cataract surgery.
Methods: It was a prospective, non-randomized, investigator-masked study. A total of 37 eyes of 37 patients with indication for cataract surgery were separated into two groups in this prospective, nonrandomized study: Femto group, with incisions automated by femtosecond laser (18 eyes), and Phaco group, with incisions made using a keratome (19 eyes).
Machine Learning-Based predictive model for adolescent metabolic syndrome: Utilizing data from NHANES 2007-2016.
Sci Rep

Department of Anesthesiology and Surgical Intensive Care Unit, Kunming Children's Hospital, Kunming, Yunnan, China.
Metabolic syndrome (Mets) in adolescents is a growing public health issue linked to obesity, hypertension, and insulin resistance, increasing risks of cardiovascular disease and mental health problems. Early detection and intervention are crucial but often hindered by complex diagnostic requirements. This study aims to develop a predictive model using NHANES data, excluding biochemical indicators, to provide a simple, cost-effective tool for large-scale, non-medical screening and early prevention of adolescent MetS.

Background: α thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX) serves as a part of the sucrose nonfermenting 2 (SNF2) chromatin-remodeling complex. In interphase, ATRX localizes to pericentromeric heterochromatin, contributing to DNA double-strand break repair, DNA replication, and telomere maintenance. During mitosis, most ATRX proteins are removed from chromosomal arms, leaving a pool near the centromere region in mammalian cells, which is critical for accurate chromosome congression and sister chromatid cohesion protection.
