Orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength Nd:GdVO4/Nd:YVO4 laser at 1341 and 1342 nm with adjustable power ratio. by Hao Yu, Yongliang Li, Fahad Moazzam, Lin Lin, Bo Gao

“…A continuous-wave (CW) orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength (OPDW) Nd:GdVO4/Nd:YVO4 laser at 1341 and 1342 nm on the 4F3/2 →4I13/2 transition was realized using in-band laser diode (LD) pumping with tunable wavelength from 909.40 to 915.02 nm for the first time. The operating temperature of the LD and the position of the pump beam waist were optimized to achieve high efficiency and balanced output powers of the OPDW laser. …”

Association of lower-limb strength with different fall histories or prospective falls in community-dwelling older people: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Ringo Tang-Long Zhu, Jenny Jing-Jing Zuo, Ke-Jing Li, Freddy Man Hin Lam, Arnold Yu Lok Wong, Lin Yang, Xue Bai, Man Sau Wong, Timothy Kwok, Yong-Ping Zheng, Christina Zong-Hao Ma

“…Results Twenty observational studies with 8,231 community-dwelling older adults were included (mean age: 73.5 years; male to female ratio: approximately 6:1). Moderate quality of evidence showed that the lower average leg-press power (SMD & 95% CI: -0.17 [-0.23, -0.12]; OR & 95% CI: 0.84 [0.79, 0.89]) and lower peak sit-to-stand power (Cohen’s d = 0.41) could predict prospective falls in older adults, especially the injurious/recurrent falls. …”
