Movement Disorders in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review.

Background: Several movement disorders (MD) have been reported to occur in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). No extensive review has addressed the whole spectrum of MD in NMOSD.

Objective: This article aims to review MD in NMOSD, describing its prevalence and features.

Breaking antibiotic resistance: Porphyrin-driven photoinactivation and priming effect on mastitis-related MDR bacteria.

Bovine mastitis is a major infectious disease in dairy herds worldwide, with increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens affecting the efficacy of conventional antibiotic therapies. In this study, we explore antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (PDI) as an innovative and sustainable strategy for controlling mastitis-associated bacteria. The photoinactivation potential was evaluated for four photosensitizers (PS) - palladium(II)/diphosphine-coordinated meso-tetrapyridyl porphyrins - Porf@DPPE, Porf@DPPP, Porf@DPPB, and Porf@DPPF - against six MDR bacterial strains isolated from bovine mastitis cases.

Aligning MRI and CBCT for Advanced TMJ Diagnostics: Case Series Using AI-Powered Registration in Dentistry and Orthodontics.

This study demonstrates the functionality and clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) registration using a new open-source artificial intelligence (AI) model called MR2CBCT. We present five clinical cases in which the AI-based method was used to register CBCT and MRI images. For comparison, manual registration was also performed.

Roadmap for Photonics with 2D Materials.

Triggered by advances in atomic-layer exfoliation and growth techniques, along with the identification of a wide range of extraordinary physical properties in self-standing films consisting of one or a few atomic layers, two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and other van der Waals (vdW) crystals now constitute a broad research field expanding in multiple directions through the combination of layer stacking and twisting, nanofabrication, surface-science methods, and integration into nanostructured environments. Photonics encompasses a multidisciplinary subset of those directions, where 2D materials contribute remarkable nonlinearities, long-lived and ultraconfined polaritons, strong excitons, topological and chiral effects, susceptibility to external stimuli, accessibility, robustness, and a completely new range of photonic materials based on layer stacking, gating, and the formation of moiré patterns. These properties are being leveraged to develop applications in electro-optical modulation, light emission and detection, imaging and metasurfaces, integrated optics, sensing, and quantum physics across a broad spectral range extending from the far-infrared to the ultraviolet, as well as enabling hybridization with spin and momentum textures of electronic band structures and magnetic degrees of freedom.

Outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in younger low-risk patients: a comprehensive meta-analysis of efficacy and safety.

Background And Aims: Severe aortic stenosis (AS) was traditionally managed with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) emerged as a less invasive alternative, initially for high-risk patients. This meta-analysis evaluates the outcomes of TAVI in younger, low-risk patients, in whom SAVR is currently the gold standard.
