In-Plane Vibration-Driven Miniature Piezoelectric Motor: Design, Modeling, and Experimental Characterization

Actuators
High-speed miniature rotary actuators are critical components in compact, high-performance systems. However, conventional electromagnetic micromotors face a prominent trade-off between miniaturization and output performance, which restricts their ...

Improvement of Sickle Cell Disease Care Mitigates the Healthcare Utilization Induced by Increased Prevalence: Experience of a Tertiary Pediatric Center

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) has undergone major changes in the last decades. Its prevalence has been steadily increasing and numerous advances have been made in the management of the disease. However, the effect in real‐life setting of these major changes is unknown, particularly in a Canadian environment. Procedure We aimed to assess

Double-Clad Anti-Resonant Hollow-Core Fiber With Inner Cladding Tube Offset for Mode Tailoring

IEEE Photonics Journal
We demonstrate a double-clad anti-resonant hollow-core fiber (DC-ARF) with an offset inner cladding structure for effective mode tailoring. The DC-ARF consists of six thin-walled, azimuthally offset inner tubes enclosed within a thicker outer cladding ...

Impact of Japan's 2024 Physician Work‐Style Reform on Pediatric Hematology–Oncology: Educational Implications in a 2‐Year Survey

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan's 2024 physician work‐style reform introduced legally binding limits on physicians’ working hours, but its impact on education and workforce sustainability in pediatric hematology–oncology (PHO) remains unclear. Procedure We conducted a repeated cross‐sectional study with structured quantitative items and free‐text responses ...

Refractometry With a Tailored Sensitivity Based on a Single-Mode-Capillary-Single-Mode Fiber Structure

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2017
We demonstrate a simple structure for the refractive index sensing by splicing a segment of capillary with two segments of single-mode fibers (SMFs). By selecting appropriate splicing parameters, two mode coupling regions can be formed with tapered air ...

Experience With Performing Rheocarna Therapy via the Single‐Needle Method for Treatment of Chronic Limb‐Threatening Ischemia

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This study investigated the safety and efficacy of single‐needle Rheocarna therapy for chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) with wounds. Methods Six patients with CLTI involving ulcers unresponsive to revascularization underwent single‐needle Rheocarna treatment.

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Disorder-induced single-mode transmission

Nature Communications, 2017
Here Leonettiet al. report the observation of single-mode states in the regime of transverse Anderson localization in a disordered optical fibre, with negligible crosstalk accompanied by an inherent resilience to fibre bending and invariance with respect
