Reflectance, transmittance, and absorptance spectra of the Kretschmann-Raether attenuated total reflection configuration consisting of a BK7 prism, a nonmetallic excitonic layer, and a surrounding medium are calculated. For angles of incidence below the critical angle of total reflection, the reflectance and transmittance spectra normalized to background spectra exhibit Fano line shapes. Under the total reflection condition, nearly perfect absorption is achieved. The Fano line shape of the normalized reflectance spectrum is found to depend strongly on the refractive index of the surrounding medium, thus opening up a scheme of refractive index detection based on line shape analyses.

Importance: The efficacy of home end-of-life care in enhancing the quality of life for terminally ill patients and families has been well documented. While previous studies have explored perspectives on quality home palliative care and end-of-life care in several countries, limited knowledge exists regarding its specific components in the Chinese context.
Objective: To explore the core elements that constitute quality home end-of-life care in China.

Importance: Research in behavioral economics has demonstrated that people have irrational biases, which make them susceptible to decisional shortcuts, or heuristics. The extent to which physicians consciously might use nudges to exploit these heuristics and thereby influence their patients' decision-making is unclear. In addition, ethical questions about the conscious use of nudges in medicine persist, yet little is known about how physicians experience and perceive their use.

Street-level environments play a vital role in children's development by promoting their physical activity, cognitive growth, and overall development. This study systematically reviews the measurement tools available to assess street environments according to children's needs. This systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA-COSMIN guidelines.

Recent studies have shown that the glymphatic system plays a crucial role in driving hyperacute edema after ischemic stroke. This has sparked interest in understanding how this system changes in later phases of ischemic stroke. In this study, we utilized cisternal contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) and immunofluorescence staining to investigate glymphatic system alterations at subacute and chronic phases of ischemic stroke.

Unlabelled: REMS-BMD by radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry is primarily determined by a patient's BMI, age, and sex. Only about 2.8% of the changes in femoral neck REMS-BMD can be attributed to replacement of the total hip with metal implants.
