A Diagnostic to Determine Sensitivity to Pharmaceutical Oxytocin and Risk of Postpartum Blood Loss based on Genetic and/or Epigenetic Factors
This invention is for a genetic polymorphism test for assessing the risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and consequently the need for pharmacological oxytocin. This novel test uses a blood or saliva sample to identify key epigenetic variants linked to oxytocin receptor gene function, ultimately allowing for assessment of responsiveness to the medication.

Distributed Feedback Fiber Laser Pumped by Multimode Diode Lasers
Researchers at the University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences and Canada's Carleton University recently succeeded in fabricating high reflectivity (>99%) Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) into phosphate glass fibers using UV light and a phase mask technique. With this new manufacturing technique, fiber lasers can be created as single monolithic...

All-Fiber Multicore Fiber Laser Devices
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a compact, power-scalable, alignment-free fiber laser that takes a new approach to stabilizing phase-locked operation of multi-core fiber lasers by completely removing all free space optical components. This high-brightness, all-fiber laser package uses passive optical fiber spliced at both ends...
