Nonreciprocal Optics within a Wavelength Fraction
Reciprocity in optics-the invariance of a light-matter interaction to the reversal of time-is a key principle in electrodynamics. This symmetry can be broken in the presence... -
Younger age of patients with myocardial infarction is associated with a highe...
Abstract Background Premature coronary artery disease is one of the most pressing global issues in modern cardiology. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of family... -
Serum periostin levels following small bone fractures, long bone fractures an...
Abstract Background In asthma, serum periostin may potentially be used as a biomarker in the management of patients with Type-2 eosinophilic airway inflammation. However, serum... -
Diet-related greenhouse gas emissions assessed by a food frequency questionna...
Abstract Background The current food system generates about 25 % of total greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE), including deforestation, and thereby substantially contributes to the... -
Long-term effects of group exercise intervention on maximal step-up height in...
Abstract Background Low physical performance is a predictor of morbidity and mortality. This study looks at long-term effects of an exercise intervention on maximal step-up... -
The impact of frailty on healthcare utilisation in Ireland: evidence from the...
Abstract Introduction To examine the impact of frailty on medical and social care utilisation among the Irish community-dwelling older population to inform strategies of... -
Neuropsychological profiles of adult bipolar disorder patients with and witho...
Abstract Background Comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is common in bipolar disorder and associated with worse outcomes. Cognitive testing might be a tool... -
Minimally Invasive Ponto Surgery compared to the linear incision technique wi...
Abstract Background Over the last years, less invasive surgical techniques with soft tissue preservation for bone conduction hearing implants (BCHI) have been introduced such as... -
Acute hyperventilation increases the central venous-to-arterial PCO2 differen...
Abstract Background To evaluate the effects of acute hyperventilation on the central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide tension difference (∆PCO2) in hemodynamically stable... -
Frontal plane pelvis and hip kinematics of transfemoral amputee gait. Effect ...
Following a transfemoral amputation (TFA), numerous changes in movement patterns during gait can occur. Frontal plane hip and pelvis compensatory strategies are recognized among... -
Developmental basis for intestinal barrier against the toxicity of graphene o...
Abstract Background Intestinal barrier is crucial for animals against translocation of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) into secondary targeted organs. However, the molecular... -
Base excess and hematocrit predict response to indomethacin in very low birth...
Abstract Background The treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants remains a challenge. The ability to predict which infants will... -
Experimental investigation of magnetically induced unusual emission of light ...
An unusual emission of light is observed when a coherent light beam is passed through a mixture of a magnetorheological suspension and a ferrofluid that is subjected to a... -
Pressure based MRI-compatible muscle fascicle length and joint angle estimation
Abstract Background Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides critical information about the neurophysiology of the central nervous systems (CNS), posing clinical... -
Assessing the effectiveness of enhanced psychological care for patients with ...
Abstract Background Around 17 % of people eligible for UK cardiac rehabilitation programmes following an acute coronary syndrome report moderate or severe depressive symptoms.... -
The effect of long working hours on 10-year risk of coronary heart disease an...
Abstract Background Recently, the emergence of long working hours and the associated conditions such as coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke have gained attention. The aim of... -
Circadian disruption of core body temperature in trauma patients: a single-ce...
Abstract Background Circadian clock alterations were poorly reported in trauma patients, although they have a critical role in human physiology. Core body temperature is a...
