Single-passage read-out of atomic quantum memory [PDF]
A scheme for retrieving quantum information stored in collective atomic spin systems onto optical pulses is presented. Two off-resonant light pulses cross the atomic medium in two orthogonal directions and are interferometrically recombined in such a way

Is Contrast Medium Osmolality a Causal Factor for Contrast-Induced Nephropathy? [PDF]
The exact pathophysiology of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is not fully clarified, yet the osmotic characteristics of contrast media (CM) have been a significant focus in many investigations of CIN. Osmotic effects of CM specific to the kidney include transient decreases in blood flow, filtration fraction, and glomerular filtration rate ...

Comparative diagnostic imaging in giant African land snails (Achatinidae)
Giant African land snails (GALS) have become increasingly popular, for example, as pets or in kindergartens in Europe, but little is known about their clinically relevant anatomy, diseases, or further details in diagnostic imaging.

Contrastâinduced early repolarization pattern and ventricular fibrillation
Malignant arrhythmias during coronary angiography consist a complication of the procedure. Clinicians should be aware that intracoronary infusion of contrast medium can lead to physiological changes that lower the ventricular fibrillation threshold.
