We report an integrated compact technique that can "spin" and "twist" light on a silicon photonics platform, with the generated light beams possessing both spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM). It demonstrates the potential of SAM/OAM optics for on-chip integration.

In-plane angular magnetoresistivity Deltarho(anis)(ab) measurements were made on Y(1-x)Pr(x)Ba(2)Cu(3)O(7-delta) single crystals in the pseudogap region. For x>/=0.2 single crystals, Deltarho(anis)(ab)(theta) displays a deviation from the typical quasiparticle contribution (proportional, sin((2)theta) for temperatures smaller than a certain value T(phi) in the pseudogap region. This deviation i...

The elderly commonly experiences decreased function in various organs, which can impact the immune and digestive systems, as well increase susceptibility to angular cheilitis (ICD-10 code: K13.0). Furthermore, high prevalence of malnutrition yearly affect incidence this inflammation. Therefore, study aimed evaluate elderly. rapid review method was employed accomplish using Preferred Reporting I...

ISSN 0001-5555 Mucocutaneous lesions are relatively common during the course of Crohn’s disease (CD) (1). Orofacial lesions, presenting as the initial sign of CD in children, are uncommon but can be an important clue in the diagnosis of CD before the development of gastrointestinal symptoms (2)...

INTRODUCTION One of the most important symptoms of Sjögren syndrome is xerostomia. The oral cavity deprived of saliva and its natural lubricative, protective and antibacterial properties is prone to a number of unfavourable consequences. AIM To present the most important lesions on the oral mucosa in primary and secondary Sjögren syndrome and in dry mouth syndrome. MATERIAL AND METHODS The ...

the article “oral manifestation in transplant patients” was read with enthusiasm.[1] however, the following points may be noted worthy. fissured tongue, atrophy of tongue papillae, and angular cheilitis can be observed in liver transplant patients and these may be due to concurrent hyposalivation, due to intake of diuretic drugs such as thiazides and loop diuretics.[2,3] excessive bleeding with...

introduction: diabetes can affect organs including the oral mucosa. there is a disagreement about the prevalence of oral mucosal disease in diabetic patients. we therefore decided to investigate more about that. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of soft tissue pathologies by assessing burning mouth and xerostomia in diabetic patients on the basis of type of diabetes and cont...
