“…The He atoms were postionized by infrared (IR) pulses, and the ion yield was measured as a function of XUV phase and IR arrival time. We tagged and sorted the relative phase of the XUV pulse pair on a single-shot basis by fitting each FEL spectrum with a suitable function that accounts for nonidealities of the XUV pulse pairs, associated with the seeding process; more generally, the fit returns the time-dependent electric field of the FEL spectra. …”

Effectiveness of Jingjin Therapy for Non-Specific Chronic Neck Pain with Extension Dysfunction: A Randomised Controlled Trial by Gong Z, Gao Y, Liu W, Li W, Wu X, Li J

“…A repeated-measures linear mixed-effects model was used to assess between-group differences in outcome indices, with group allocation and treatment time points treated as fixed effects and participants as random effects.Results: The change in the angle of active neck extension from baseline to the sixth treatment session was significant for Jingjin therapy (mean: 29.75° to 51.97°) and general manual therapy (mean: 28.18° to 52.49°). Further, the between-group difference was minimal (mean − 0.26°, 95% confidence interval, − 2.62°, 2.09°) and not statistically significant (P = 0.828).Conclusion: Jingjin therapy for 9 days significantly improved neck extension function in patients with NCNP, with no significant difference compared to general manual therapy.Clinical Trial Registry Id: ChiCTR2300068892.Plain Language Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of Jingjin therapy, a massage technique employed for the treatment of non-specific chronic neck pain, in comparison with conventional manual therapy in adult populations. …”
