The optical transmissions through compound gold surface relief slit arrays were investigated theoretically by using the finite difference time domain method. The differences of transmission, reflection, and absorption spectra of the bare slit and the surface relief grating are discussed. The transmission spectra influenced by different dielectric constants of medium in the two slits and different slits widths. When the two slits fill different dielectrics, the presence of the medium induces a red-shift of the plasmon resonances. Along with the dielectric constant in one slit increasing, there appear obvious dips in the transmission spectra. Based on the magnetic and electric field distributions, Fabry-Pérot-like resonance and phase resonance mechanisms have been suggested for the physical origins of these observations.

Context: Approximately 11% of cancer survivors smoke post-diagnosis.
Objective: Understanding the relationship between smoking and perceived cancer-related symptoms may inform tobacco treatment interventions for this population.
Methods: From 2017-2021, 740 adults in 9 ECOG-ACRIN trials provided baseline data.

This case report describes Zoon's vulvitis or plasma cell vulvitis (PCV) with coexisting lichen planus (LP) treated with methotrexate. PCV is a rare, chronic, benign idiopathic inflammatory condition of the vulvar mucosa, characterized by a bright-red, chronic lesion of mucosa. Typically, it presents as atrophic, shiny, red plaques that can affect any part of the vulva and can spread symmetrically and bilaterally with the propensity of chronicity and gradual coalescence.

Optical vortices possess a helical phase wavefront with central phase dislocation and orbital angular momentum. We demonstrated three-dimensional microstructure formation using a femtosecond optical vortex beam. Two-photon polymerization of photocurable resin was induced by long-term exposure, resulting in the fabrication of cylindrical structures.

Significance: Artificial tears remain the cornerstone for managing dry eye disease. The current study's real-world efficacy test of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400, or sodium hyaluronate (SH)-based lubricants highlights their similar effects on noninvasive tear film parameters over the short term. However, patients reported better relief with SH-based lubricants.
