RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Cases of isolated septum pellucidum infarction have not yet been reported. To date, there are only 2 stroke reports involving septum pellucidum infarction. The etiology of septum pellucidum infarction was subcallosal artery (ScA) injury. The abnormalities were strictly confined to the septum pellucidum and the right cingulated gyrus, making this the first case to report such confined abnormalities. PATIENT CONCERNS: In this report, we present a case of ischemic stroke confined to the septum pellucidum and cingulated gyrus in a 48-year-old male patient who presented with transient ischemic attack-like paroxysmal lower left limb weakness. DIAGNOSIS: Even no obvious abnormalities were revealed by an emergency computed tomography, the infarction in the combined territories of the septum pellucidum and the cingulate gyrus was detected on magnetic resonance imaging. INTERVENTIONS: Aspirin with clopidogrel was administered for 3 weeks as a secondary preventive drug. Clopidogrel was selected as a long-term antiplatelet drug based on a thromboelastogram. OUTCOMES: The patient showed no positive signs related to the nervous system in the hospital, and there was no recurrence during the 3-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Infarction in the septum pellucidum and cingulate gyrus is rare and has atypical clinical manifestations. Physical examination may not yield obvious positive signs. False-negative computed tomography findings of the head may result in misdiagnosis. Thus, it is necessary to perform whole-brain magnetic resonance imaging in time. Moreover, ScA protection should be paid attention to during surgery for anterior communicating artery aneurysm.

The applications of spin dynamos, which could potentially power complex nanoscopic devices, have so far been limited owing to their extremely low energy conversion efficiencies. Here, we present a unique plasmonic diabolo cavity (PDC) that dramatically improves the spin rectification signal (enhancement of more than three orders of magnitude) under microwave excitation; further, it enables an energy conversion efficiency of up to ~0.69 mV/mW, compared with ~0.27 µV/mW without a PDC. This remarkable improvement arises from the simultaneous enhancement of the microwave electric field (~13-fold) and the magnetic field (~195-fold), which cooperate in the spin precession process generates photovoltage (PV) efficiently under ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) conditions. The interplay of the microwave electromagnetic resonance and the ferromagnetic resonance originates from a hybridized mode based on the plasmonic resonance of the diabolo structure and Fabry-Perot-like modes in the PDC. Our work sheds light on how more efficient spin dynamo devices for practical applications could be realized and paves the way for future studies utilizing both artificial and natural magnetism for applications in many disciplines, such as for the design of future efficient wireless energy conversion devices, high frequent resonant spintronic devices, and magnonic metamaterials.
RESUMEN
The magnetic field configuration of the previously proposed knot undulator [Qiao et al. (2009). Rev. Sci. Instrum. 80, 085108] is realised in the design of a hybridized elliptically polarized undulator, which is presented. Although the details of the field distribution are not the same as those in the theoretical proposal, it is demonstrated that the practical knot undulator could work perfectly. In order to understand the minor discrepancies of the two, mathematical formulae of the synchrotron radiation are derived based on the Fourier transform of the magnetic field. From the results of calculations by simulation program, the discrepancies could be well interpreted by the corresponding formulae. The results show the importance of optimization of the end sections of the knot undulator to suppress the on-axis heat load. Furthermore, a study of the impact of the undulator on beam dynamics of the storage ring was conducted using the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility as an example and the results show that the knot undulator has little effect on the beam.
