2D layered germanium selenide (GeSe) with p-type conductivity is incorporated with asymmetric contact electrode of chromium/Gold (Cr/Au) and Palladium/Gold (Pd/Au) to design a self-biased, high speed and an efficient photodetector. The photoresponse under photovoltaic effect is investigated for the wavelengths of light (i.e.

We report a case of toxin-mediated motor polyneuropathy in a patient presenting with acute flaccid quadriplegia.
Case Summary: A 64-year-old female with mantle cell lymphoma on oral chemotherapy with ibrutinib presents with malaise and progressive ascending bilateral lower extremity weakness.
Cardiac aspergilloma is exceptionally rare with only a handful of cases reported and majority of them being in immunocompromised patients. Here, we present a case of cardiac aspergilloma involving the right and left ventricle in an immunocompetent patient that initially presented with acute limb ischemia. He was later found to have a cardiac mass with histopathological diagnosis confirming Aspergillus species.

Purpose: To evaluate the visual outcomes, predictability, and planarity of four types of 60-kHz femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK flaps: 90, 100, 110, and 120 microm.
Methods: This randomized, prospective, interventional, comparative trial was performed at a tertiary care facility. Two hundred forty eyes with a calculated residual bed thickness >300 microm (at 120-microm flap thickness and subjective refraction) were randomized into four flap thickness groups to undergo femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK.
