Secretory Acid Sphingomyelinase Activity as a Diagnostic Marker in Colorectal Cancer
This invention utilizes the activity of secretory acid sphingomyelinase (S-SMase) in patient serum as a biomarker for the early or enhanced detection of colorectal neoplasia, including colorectal cancer (CRC).
Background:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, ranking third in incidence and second in cancer-related deaths...

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...
