“The direct conversion of light-polarization information into electric voltage has been demonstrated using the photoinduced inverse spin-Hall effect in a Pt/GaAs hybrid structure. In the GaAs layer, spin-polarized

carriers are generated by the PF-562271 clinical trial illumination of circularly polarized light, which induces a pure-spin current in the Pt layer through the interface. The pure-spin current is converted into an electromotive force using the inverse spin-Hall effect (ISHE) in the Pt layer. The electromotive force due to the photoinduced ISHE was found to be proportional to the degree of circular polarization of the illuminated light outside the sample in spite of the presence of the Pt top layer, which is consistent with a calculation based on the analysis

for light propagation in multilayer structures. This conversion of light-polarization information into electric voltage works at room temperature without bias voltage and magnetic fields, and thus can be used as a spin photodetector. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3418441]“
“Vasculitic syndromes are a rare entity in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), in the order of < 1%. Though the underlying mechanism is thought to involve SGC-CBP30 ic50 cell LDK378 inhibitor or immune-complex-mediated inflammation, the common finding within the wide spectrum of vasculitides is inflammation of the blood vessel wall. Furthermore, polyarteritis nodosa (PAN)-like vasculitis associated with HIV infection presents differently from classic or idiopathic PAN, thereby making diagnosis difficult for even the most astute clinician. We present the case of a young HIV-infected woman with chronic abdominal pain that went undiagnosed for over 1 year despite an extensive workup until rheumatologic

disorders were considered in the differential. Mesenteric angiogram revealed extensive small vessel microaneurysms consistent with PAN-like vasculitis. The patient responded well to corticosteroid therapy and remained symptom-free upon discharge. Despite its relatively low prevalence, vasculitides such as PAN should be considered in patient with unexplained symptoms after thoroughly completing an evaluation for more common diseases, especially considering its good prognosis associated with corticosteroid therapy.”
“Background: Pediatric oligodendrogliomas are rare and appear to show a different molecular profile from adult tumors. Some gliomas display allelic losses at 1p/19q in pediatric patients, although less frequently than in adult patients, but this is rare in tumors with an oligodendroglial component.
