The authors report a rare case of a 48-year-old male with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who initially presented with a bilateral proliferative retinopathy. The patient complained of recent visual loss and floaters in both eyes (BE). Ophthalmologic evaluation revealed a best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/50 in the right eye and 20/200 in the left eye (LE). Fundoscopy showed the presence of bilateral peri...
Serum hormone levels were compared between captive and free-living maned wolves and seasonal variations of sex hormones were studied. Blood samples were collected from 16 male and 26 female adult animals from Brazilian zoos, and from 30 male and 24 female free-living adults to determine serum progesterone and testosterone by radioimmunoassay. Serum testosterone concentrations varied (P < 0.05) across seasons fo...
Strained and partially relaxed In1-xGa xAs yP1-y /InP single quantum wells (SQWs) with different cap layer thicknesses and biaxial strain values grown by low-pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (LP-MOVPE) were investigated by double crystal X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence microscopy (PLM) imaging and photoluminescence spectroscopy techniques. Our results indicate a significant improvement of the opti...
We present measurements of the differential gain of multiquantum well (MQW) broad area lasers emitting at 1.55<FONT FACE="Symbol">m</font>m wavelength, taking into account the nonuniform stimulated emission caused by filamentation within the optical cavity. The differential gain was determined from measurements of the threshold current density, considering the losses due to the inhomogenous carrier density dist...
The modulation frequency response of compressively strained multiquantum well (MQW) lasers grown with an InGaAs/AlGaInAs/InP heterostructure and emitting at the wavelength of 1.55 <FONT FACE="Symbol">m</font>m is presented. The laser devices processed with the mushroom-stripe buried structure present a high frequency 3 dB bandwidth above 20 GHz. The frequency response was measured with the small signal modulati...
