Robotic‐Assisted Extended Sistrunk Approach (RESA) for Salvage Surgery After Head and Neck Irradiation

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The robotic‐assisted extended “Sistrunk” approach (RESA) is a minimally invasive technique providing access to hypopharyngeal and laryngeal structures via a submental incision and vallecular pharyngotomy, bypassing the base of tongue.

Design of nonlinear photonic crystal fibers with ultra‐flattened zero dispersion for supercontinuum generation

ETRI Journal, 2020
The study reports on the design and performance of two air‐filled and two partial ethanol‐filled photonic crystal fiber (PCF) structures with a tetra core for supercontinuum generation. The PCFs are nonlinear with ultra‐flattened zero dispersion.

FAM107A loss facilitates TTK‐OPTN‐mediated mitophagy to drive docetaxel resistance in castration‐resistant prostate cancer

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
In the progression of docetaxel resistance, downregulation of FAM107A releases its transcriptional repression of TTK, leading to TTK upregulation. TTK enhances the interaction and phosphorylation of OPTN. This activates mitophagy in tumor cells, facilitates clearance of damaged mitochondria, reduces intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation ...

PCF theory and Woodin cardinals [PDF]

, 2017
We prove the following two results. Theorem A: Let alpha be a limit ordinal. Suppose that 2^{|alpha|}aleph_{|alpha|^+}. Then for all n< omega and for all bounded X subset aleph_{|alpha|^+}, M_n^#(X) exists. Theorem B: Let kappa be a singular cardinal of uncountable cofinality.

Verification of False Reactivity in HIV Rapid Diagnostic Tests and Its Translation Into the Three Tests Algorithm in Cameroon

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Verification study enabled the detection of HIV false reactivity ranging from 0‐4% across rapid diagnostic tests. A reliable three‐tests algorithm ranked First Response HIV 1‐2‐0 Card, First Response HIV1+2/Syphilis Combo or STANDARD Q as suitable test 1 to mitigate false positive events. As countries move toward HIV elimination, implementing the three‐

Hollow-core photonic crystal fibre for high power laser beam delivery

High Power Laser Science and Engineering, 2013
We review the use of hollow-core photonic crystal fibre (HC-PCF) for high power laser beam delivery. A comparison of bandgap HC-PCF with Kagome-lattice HC-PCF on the geometry, guidance mechanism, and optical properties shows that the Kagome-type HC-PCF ...

Data‐Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry in Tumor Classification and Cancer Biomarker Research

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Cancer treatment is far from optimal also because current classification systems do not reflect the complex molecular status of the tumor and its phenotype in sufficient detail. To construct molecular tumor classifiers, omics tools provide complex molecular data reflecting many aspects from genotype to phenotype.
