Article Abstract
A fabrication method for large-area gratings with uniform duty without using a spatial beam modulator is introduced in this study. The inhomogeneity of gratings caused by flaws of the lens and stray light was solved by controlling exposure time within an appropriate range and selecting a suitable beam expansion aperture in the optical path. A model for representing this process was established by analyzing the effects of exposure and development time length, and experimental results exhibited good agreement with the simulation results. Finally, a grating with a period of 550 nm, a uniform duty cycle, and a diameter larger than 30 mm was achieved using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer optical path without a spatial beam modulator. The uniformity of this grating was observed via atomic force microscopy, and the results were highly desirable.

Anaphylaxis Following Fish Ingestion in a Military Member.

Allergy and Immunology, Keesler Medical Center, Biloxi, USA.
We present the case of a 33-year-old active-duty male with a history of anaphylaxis following fish ingestion, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and multiple environmental and food allergies confirmed with serum-specific IgE testing. This report discusses the patient's clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and management plan, including allergen avoidance, epinephrine use, environmental control strategies, and a case of unexpected severe anaphylaxis despite low serum-specific IgE levels. Military service requires stringent physical capabilities, and deployment requirements add an additional layer of complexity to the outlook of this case.

Background: Free-breathing gated cone-beam computed tomography (gCBCT), which captures a specific anatomy coinciding with a preset gating window in the breathing cycle, is routinely prescribed to gating lung SBRT patients for pretreatment setup verification. However, a half-fan gCBCT scan can take 2-8 min (for a typical gating duty cycle of 30%-60% and patient breathing period of 3-6 s) on a C-arm linear accelerator because the gantry movement is interrupted and resumed by the respiratory gating signal multiple times over the scan. The long scan time increases patient on-table time, leading to discomfort and a higher likelihood of patient movement.

Entrance to neurological surgery residency is highly competitive due to the large number of applicants vying for a limited number of spots. The process has become even more competitive in recent years, with a significant increase in applicants but a consistent number of available residency positions. Program director (PD) surveys offer valuable insights into the selection process and expectations for neurosurgical residency, guiding prospective candidates to navigate the challenging training path.

Introduction: During outbreaks of respiratory infectious diseases such as the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers are frequently required to wear medical protective clothing (MPC) for prolonged periods. Traditional MPC, however, prioritizes protective efficacy while neglecting wearer comfort. Its poor air permeability can induce physical fatigue and dehydration in medical staff during extended use, thereby exacerbating their burden when managing severe infectious diseases.
