We present measurements and simulations of spin-transfer torque (STT) induced magnetization dynamics in nanopillars containing a thin, circular, single-crystalline Fe nanomagnet with four-fold in-plane magnetocrystalline anisotropy as a free layer. The magnetoerystalline anisotropy inherent to bcc-Fe allows for a consecutive switching of the magnetization by 90[degrees] between parallel and antiparallel alignment to the fixed layer magnetization. Additionally, the anisotropy gives rise to steady-state precession of the magnetization at low or even zero applied magnetic field as well as at large fields exceeding the coercive field. While the low-field mode is governed by the interplay between the STT and the anisotropy, the high-field dynamics result from the STT acting against the externally applied magnetic field. Index Terms--Magnetization dynamics, magnetoerystalline anisotropy, nanomagnet, spin-transfer torque.

The magnetization reversal behavior of 20 nm thick cobalt microstructures with a nanoconstriction of variable size has been studied using magnetoresistance measurements and micromagnetic simulations. Depending on the direction of the applied field relative to the current, reversible and irreversible switching events are observed, which can be explained using micromagnetic simulations. Anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) is the dominant resistance contribution in the systems measured. The simulations show that instead of one sharp domain wall, which may lead to ballistic magnetoresistance (BMR), two domain walls on each side of the nanocontact precede the complete reversal. Index Terms--Cobalt, magnetic domain walls, magnetoresistance, micromagnetic simulations, nancontacts.

We report on the micromagnetic properties of highly regular hexagonal arrays of Ni nanowires, fabricated by means of electodeposition in self-ordered porous alumina. Arrays with interpore distances of 65 and 100 nm and pore diameters of 25 and 30 nm are investigated. From hysteresis loops obtained from measurements with a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer, the switching field [H.sub.SW] of the nanowires and its deviation [DELTA][H.sub.SW] is derived. Dynamic micromagnetic modeling using the finite-element method is applied to study the reversal process in an external field. It is shown that starting at the wires' ends, the reversal occurs by means of 180[degrees] head-on domain walls propagating along the wire. Index Terms--Electrodeposition, micro-magnetic modeling, nanowire array, patterned media, porous alumina.

Knowledge of normal anatomy and kinematics of the glenohumeral joint as well as analysis of the pathoanatomic changes that occur during the course of the disease is the condition for successful patient management. This review article critically discusses the most relevant geometrical variables. Systematically, normal anatomy, pathologic anatomy, and the implications for prosthetic design and implantation are presented. The most important aspects concerning the size and shape of the glenoid, the inclination of the articular surface in the horizontal and frontal planes, as well as the geometry of the scapular neck are discussed. The accumulated knowledge is of immediate practical use and might stimulate researchers and manufacturers to develop more adequate glenoid components.

Painful stiffness of the shoulder is an ill-defined clinical entity that is difficult to assess and delicate to treat. The nomenclature used is broad and includes terms such as frozen shoulder, adhesive capsulitis, focal algodystrophy, stiff shoulder, contracted shoulder, and others. Apart from its idiopathic form, the disease can be initiated by trauma, infection, tumour, radiation, systemic and local metabolic disturbances. Pathoanatomically, the common denominator is an inflammatory vascular proliferation followed by thickening, scarring, and retraction of the joint capsule. The inflammatory process often starts at the rotator interval and may extend to the subacromial space. Clinical diagnosis is based on history and physical examination. Generally the onset of pain precedes the perception of a reduced range of motion by weeks or months. In early stages of the disease, the inflammatory type of pain dominates, i.e., the patient's main complaint ist pain at night. In the later stage, range of motion gradually decreases. Patients do not often complain about reduced motion, probably because of its slow onset. Treatment options are a combination of mobilisation exercises with intra-articular steroids, hydraulic distension of the joint capsule, manipulation under anaesthesia, arthroscopic and/or open arthrolysis. The appropriate choice of protocol is just as important as its correct timing. In the inflammatory phase, aggressive treatment protocols are probably contraindicated. Complications of invasive protocols are rare but deleterious and therefore have to be taken into consideration. New anti-anglogenetic agents may enhance functional results and shorten the rehabilitation phase.

Background The increasing incidence of candidemia and emergence of drug-resistant Candida species are major concerns worldwide. Long-term surveillance studies are needed. Methods The Fungal Infection Network of Switzerland (FUNGINOS) conducted a 15-year (2004–2018), nationwide, epidemiological study of candidemia. Hospital-based incidence of candidemia, Candida species distribution, antifungal susceptibility, and consumption were stratified in 3 periods (2004–2008, 2009–2013, 2014–2018). Population-based incidence over the period 2009–2018 derived from the Swiss Antibiotic Resistance Surveillance System (ANRESIS). Results A total of 2273 Candida blood isolates were studied. Population and hospital-based annual incidence of candidemia increased from 2.96 to 4.20/100 000 inhabitants (P = .022) and 0.86 to 0.99/10 000 patient-days (P = .124), respectively. The proportion of Candida albicans decreased significantly from 60% to 53% (P = .0023), whereas Candida glabrata increased from 18% to 27% (P < .0001). Other non-albicans Candida species remained stable. Candida glabrata bloodstream infections occurred predominantly in the age group 18–40 and above 65 years. A higher proportional increase of C glabrata was recorded in wards (18% to 29%, P < .0001) versus intensive care units (19% to 24%, P = .22). According to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, nonsusceptibility to fluconazole in C albicans was observed in 1% of isolates, and anidulafungin and micafungin nonsusceptibility was observed in 2% of C albicans and C glabrata. Fluconazole consumption, the most frequently used antifungal, remained stable, whereas use of mold-active triazoles and echinocandins increased significantly in the last decade (P < .0001). Conclusions Over the 15-year period, the incidence of candidemia increased. A species shift toward C glabrata was recently observed, concurring with increased consumption of mold-active triazoles., The incidence of candidemia increased in Switzerland from 2004 to 2018. A species shift toward C glabrata was observed after 2013, now accounting for one fourth of all candidemia, concurring with increased consumption of mold-active triazoles.
