We show that excitonic resonances and interexciton transitions can enhance the probability of spontaneous parametric down-conversion, a second-order optical response that generates entangled photon pairs. We benchmark our ab initio many-body calculations using experimental polar plots of second harmonic generation in NbOI_{2}, clearly demonstrating the relevance of excitons in the nonlinear response. A strong double-exciton resonance in 2D NbOCl_{2} leads to giant enhancement in the second order susceptibility. Our work paves the way for the realization of efficient ultrathin quantum light sources.

Effects on maternal and pregnancy outcomes of first-trimester malaria infection among nulliparous women from Kenya, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of malaria infection during the first trimester of pregnancy on adverse outcomes for mothers and babies in Kenya, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
- Using rigorous testing methods, researchers found specific risks such as higher rates of preterm birth and anemia later in pregnancy among affected women.
- The findings suggest that first-trimester malaria is linked to increased prevalence of anemia and highlight the need for more research on its impact on other pregnancy complications like preterm birth and low birth weight.

To investigate the relationship between sociodemographic factors, musculoskeletal pain and its characteristics, and the type of primary health care received with self-reported disability. This is a cross-sectional study, interviewing individuals selected from spontaneous demand for health care in two types of care: health center and family health unit. Disability was investigated using the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.

Background: Patients who achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) may re-arrest. This phenomenon has not been sufficiently investigated. The aim of this study was to examine the immediate (1-min) and short-term (20-min) risks of re-arrest in IHCA.

Background: While oral minoxidil (OM) has been associated with pericardial effusion (PE), its etiology is presently inconclusive.
Aims: We characterized patient- and drug-related factors across reports from the United States Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) for PE and OM.
Methods: Our observation period spanned 18.
The indistinguishable photon-pair sources are valuable in many quantum information applications, such as quantum microscopy, quantum synchronization, and quantum metrology. Based on cascaded sum-frequency generation (SFG) and spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) processes, we propose and demonstrate a scheme for the generation of spatially separated broadband indistinguishable photon pairs in the telecom band by using only one piece of a fiber-pigtailed periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide in a modified Sagnac loop. The measured joint spectral intensity of the generated entangled photon pairs is 7.
