Association between COVID-19 infection and new-onset dementia in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Shan, D, Wang, C, Crawford, T, Holland, C

“…Across a median observation period of 12 months post-COVID, the overall incidence of NOD was about 1.82% in the COVID-infected group, compared to 0.35% in the non-COVID-infected group. The overall pooled meta-analysis showed a significantly increased NOD risk among COVID-19 older adult survivors compared to non-COVID-19 controls (RR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.21–2.08). …”

"Meta-atomless" architecture based on an irregular continuous fabric of coupling-tuned identical nanopillars enables highly efficient and achromatic metasurfaces by Yaǧcl, H. Bilge, Demir, Hilmi Volkan

“…However, to date, a pending and fundamental problem of this approach has been the low device efficiency that such resulting metasurface components suffer, an unwanted side effect of large lattice constants that are used for preventing intercoupling of their meta-atoms. Although the use of near-field coupling for tuning electromagnetic resonances found its use in constructing efficient narrow-band designs, such structures fell short of providing high efficiency over a broad spectrum. …”
