The cost of asthma control by Chotirmall, Sanjay Haresh

“…This discordance in understanding asthma control among Asian patients is further evidenced by data from the REcognise Asthma and LInk to Symptoms and Experience (REALISE) Study that assessed perception of asthma control and attitudes towards treatment in 2467 patients in a real-life setting. Patients were found to consistently overestimate their levels of asthma control contrary to symptoms and critically found to perceive the management of exacerbations as a control measure.…”

Specular optical activity of achiral metasurfaces by Plum, Eric, Fedotov, Vassili A., Zheludev, Nikolay I.

“…Optical activity in 3D-chiral media in the form of circular dichroism and birefringence is a fundamental phenomenon that serves as evidence of life forms and is widely used in spectroscopy. Even in 3D-chiral media exhibiting strong transmission optical activity, the reflective effect is weak and sometimes undetectable. …”
