A new all-in-fiber trace-level chemical sensing approach is demonstrated. Photoconductive structures, embedded directly into the fiber cladding along its entire length, capture light emitted anywhere within fiber's hollow core and transform it an electrical signal. Localized signal transduction circumvents problems associated with conventional fiber-optics, including limited collection efficiency optical losses. This facilitates a platform for remote distributed photosensing.
ABSTRACT Background Older adults with multiple chronic conditions face significant challenges their health. Patient Priorities Care (PPC) is an Age‐Friendly approach that explores ‘what matters’ by identifying values, care preferences, and health priorities, aligning healthcare based on patients' outcome goals. Methods priorities was implemented in four clinical settings (Hospital Home, a transitional case management program two embedded clinics within specialty settings) large academically...
Enhanced chemiluminescent detection schemefor trace vapor sensing
We previously demonstrated that near-infrared spectroscopy in vivo presents spectral features at 895 and 861 nm accurately classify Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, age-matched control subjects. Our purpose here is to associate the signal with [Formula: see text]-amyloid.
Photoconductive structures (PCS), embedded directly into the fiber cladding and extending its entire length, capture light emitted by a chemiluminescent material reacting with peroxide vapor flowing through core, as reported Yoel Fink co-workers on page 6005. The PCS transform this emissive signal an electrical signal, thus facilitating new all-in-fiber platform for remote distributed photosensing. Image: courtesy of Yan Liang.
Integrating optically, electrically, and thermo-mechanically disparate materials into a fiber drawn from preform is enabling devices with unique functionalities. We present two examples: directionality-controlled radial lasers all-in-fiber chemical sensors.
Abstract It has been shown that physicians-in-training can develop negative attitudes towards caring for older patients. Little is known about how these throughout training or if they are associated with ageist clinical decisions. In this pilot study, Internal Medicine (IM) residents completed the Expectations Regarding Aging (ERA-12) survey, a validated instrument assesses expectations regarding physical health, mental and cognitive function in adults. Residents then survey included...
