They can affect both the immunocompetent and the immunocompromised individual, more commonly the latter as part of disseminated systemic infection with symptoms ranging from self-limited transaminitis to acute liver failure Various reasons for their rising importance are increased exposure to these viruses by way of: (1) Overcrowding, climatic and environmental changes, increasing tourism and settlement in hitherto unexplored areas where they are endemic and spread either by direct contact or through local fauna which serve as their reservoir host; and (2) Tampering with the normal protective human immunity by using immunomodulator drugs in scenarios of organ transplants, immune and non-immune related inflammatory disorders and various cancers, all of which are rising in incidence due to the aging world population living longer with many comorbidities. As such infections are relatively rare with non-specific presentation, and self-limited clinical course, they are seldom thought of or investigated for in the early disease stages which lead to the development of complications. This review of the most common non-hepatotropic viruses focusses on their epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and management.

Traditional OAM multiplexing systems operating solely in the spatial domain face significant challenges, including increased system complexity, inter-modal crosstalk, and limited scalability. Recent advances have explored hybrid multiplexing schemes combining OAM with wavelength or polarization degrees of freedom, demonstrating Pbit/s level transmission capacities. However, these systems predominantly rely on continuous-wave lasers and external modulators, which constrain their applicability in challenging environments, whereas pulsed lasers provide superior peak power, enhanced transmission robustness, and the potential for implementation of OAM lasers, which generally emit pulsed OAM beams. Here, we report an OAM-based spatiotemporal multiplexing (OAM-STM) technique that synergistically implements pulsed OAM beams with a diffractive deep neural network (D2NN) and optical fiber delay lines to project spatial mode information into the temporal domain. This approach leverages the full potential of pulsed laser sources by activating the underutilized time dimension, thereby overcoming the repetition-rate bottleneck and enhancing channel throughput. We experimentally demonstrate an OAM-based spatiotemporal demultiplexer achieving demultiplexing speed limited only by the bandwidth of the photodiode if OAM generation is fast enough. In the meantime, the architecture is intrinsically compatible with high-repetition-rate OAM sources, offering the entire system the scalability to GHz rates. This work establishes a foundational framework for high-speed, all-optical, and high-capacity OAM-STM systems, with promising implications for free-space optical communication, underwater communication links, and other complex environments.","PeriodicalId":18069,"journal":{"name":"Light-Science & Applications","volume":"41 1","pages":"342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145140188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite a broad selection of functional neuroimaging tools for multi-scale brain interrogations, no methodology currently exists that can discern responses from neural and glial cells while simultaneously mapping the associated hemodynamic activity on a large scale. We present a hybrid multiplexed fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging (HyFMRI) platform for measuring neuronal and astrocytic activity registered to concurrently recorded brain-wide hemodynamic responses. It features a fiberscope-based imaging system for multichannel fluorescence and optical intrinsic signal recordings and a custom surface radiofrequency coil, which are incorporated into the bore of a preclinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. We used HyFMRI to study peripheral-stimulus-evoked brain responses in mice differentially labeled with RCaMP and GCaMP genetically-encoded calcium indicators. Stimulation-evoked neuronal responses displayed the fastest kinetics and highest activation amplitude followed by astrocytic signals and the hemodynamic responses simultaneously recorded with functional MRI. In addition, the activation traces from neurons and astrocytes exhibited high linear correlation, thus providing direct evidence of astrocytic mediation in neurovascular coupling. This newly developed capacity to capture cell-type-specific calcium signaling alongside whole-brain hemodynamics enables the simultaneous investigation of neuro-glial-vascular interactions in health and disease. HyFMRI thus expands the current neuroimaging toolbox for a wide range of studies into synaptic plasticity, neural circuitry, brain function and disorders.","PeriodicalId":18069,"journal":{"name":"Light-Science & Applications","volume":"27 1","pages":"341"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145140189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Human-to-human transmission, particularly in healthcare and community settings, further amplifies the risk of spread. Since its discovery in 1969, LF continues to be a neglected tropical disease with significant health impacts, especially in vulnerable populations such as pregnant females and those with weakened immune systems. The clinical spectrum of LF varies from mild, flu-like symptoms to severe complications including bleeding, brain inflammation, and multiple organ dysfunction with neonates and pregnant female showing the highest fatality rates. Accurate diagnosis is hindered by symptom overlap with common regional illnesses such as malaria and typhoid, underlining the urgent need for strengthened diagnostic infrastructure and rapid testing methods.
