TOPIC: Allergy and Airway TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is associated with myriad clinical presentations. With both chronic acute forms, there exists a wide range of cardiac dysfunction etiologies, including hyper-eosinophilia, hypersensitivity reaction, parasitic or fungal infections. Chronic EM congestive heart failure, lower mortality...

Wood has played an indispensable part in the rise of human civilization, evolution of modern plants and has cornerstone importance for the sustained long term health and stability of managed and unmanaged ecosystems. Despite its importance, the molecular mechanisms involved in wood formation are still poorly understood. Wood formation initiates in a lateral meristem known as vascular cambium wh...

We demonstrate optical trapping and manipulation of micronsized absorbing air-borne particles with a single focused Gaussian beam. Transportation of trapped nonspherical particles from one beam to another is realized, and the underlying mechanism for the trapping is discussed by considering the combined action of several forces. By employing a specially-designed optical bottle beam, we observe ...

In the last years the unique optical properties of graphene have attracted the attention of the scientific community, and novel graphene-based photonic, plasmonic and optoelectronic devices have been proposed for a plethora of applications [1, 2]. In this framework, numerical and analytical modelling play a crucial role both for design and analysis purposes. As a matter of fact, well-establishe...

Replication-defective acute leukemia viruses E26 and myeloblastosis virus (AMV) cause distinct leukemias although they belong to the same subgroup of oncogenic avian tumor viruses based on shared transformation-specific (onc) RNA sequences. E26 causes predominantly erythroblastosis in chicken and in quail, whereas AMV induces a myeloid leukemia. However, upon cultivation in vitro for >1 month, ...

Two formats of all-organic distributed-feedback lasers with improved photostability, respectively called nanocomposite and encapsulated lasers, are reported. These lasers are compatible with mechanically-flexible platforms and were entirely fabricated using softlithography and spin-coating techniques. The gain elements in both types of lasers were monodisperse π-conjugated star-shaped macromole...

On the basis of their differential location within dermis and discrete changes in gene protein expression, two major fibroblast subtypes (papillary reticular) have traditionally been distinguished. In last 3 years, a number research groups begun to address transcriptomic heterogeneity human skin cells at single-cell level by determining mRNA levels expressed genes through RNA sequencing technol...
