ObjectiveTo compare the mid-term outcomes of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) that was performed in one knee and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed in the other knee in the same stage.MethodsThis is a retrospective study.A total of 63 patients (126 knees) scheduled for one-stage knee surgery due to osteoarthritis of both knees were sel
Sarcomeres are stereotyped force-producing mini-machines of striated muscles.Each sarcomere contains a pseudocrystalline order of bipolar actin and myosin filaments, which are linked by titin filaments.During muscle development, these three filament types need to assemble into long periodic chains of sarcomeres called myofibrils.Initially, myofibri
We propose a simple approach for simultaneous optical half-adder and half-subtracter using a single-slot waveguide that offers tight light confinement and enhanced nonlinearity.By exploiting the parametric depletion effect of twin degenerate four-wave mixing processes in the slot waveguide, we simulate 160-Gbit/s half-adder (A + B) and half-subtrac
