Open AccessSpatial Beam Self-Cleaning in Second-Harmonic Generation
We experimentally demonstrate the spatial self-cleaning of a highly multimode optical beam, in the process of second-harmonic generation in a quadratic nonlinear potassium titanyl phosphate crystal. As the bea...

Spatial beam self-cleaning in multimode fibres
The Kerr effect in graded-index multimode fibres drives a spatial beam self-cleaning phenomenon that withstands fibre bending and does not necessitate dissipative processes such as stimulated scattering.

Open AccessAutomated telephone follow-up after breast cancer: an acceptability and feasibility pilot study
Traditional clinical follow-up after breast cancer is inefficient at detecting relapse and is poorly suited to detecting and ameliorating psychological problems. There is interest in develo** more effective ...

Open AccessFollow-up in breast cancer: does routine clinical examination improve outcome? A systematic review of the literature
Multiple guidelines exist for the follow-up of breast cancer, with no agreement on frequency or duration. The contribution of routine clinical examination for the detection of potentially treatable relapse, an...

Open AccessChanging pattern of the detection of locoregional relapse in breast cancer: the Edinburgh experience
The guidelines for follow-up of breast cancer patients concentrate on the first 3–5 years, with either reduced frequency of visits or discharge after this. They also recommend mammography, but no evidence exis...

Open AccessAlternative methods of follow up in breast cancer: a systematic review of the literature
Regular clinical follow up after breast cancer is a common practice. Evidence from retrospective reviews casts doubt on the efficacy of this practice and the various guidelines for follow up show little concor...
