Elevated plasma intermedin levels are independently associated with long-term recurrence and distant metastasis of prostate cancer and intermedin has potential to be a prognostic predictive biomarker for prostate cancer.
A passively Q-switched Tm:YLF pumped Ho:YAG laser using Cr2+:ZnS as a saturable absorber is reported in this letter. A single pulse energy as high as 2.47 mJ is generated. The maximum average power reaches 16.6 W at a repetition rate of 10.4 kHz. The pulse durations are between 35 and 40 ns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
