Regulating the intensity distribution of an extended source to produce a prescribed illumination in three-dimensional (3D) rotationally symmetric geometry remains a challenging issue in illumination design. In this Letter, we present an effective method focusing on creating prescribed intensity designs for extended sources. By this method, a prescribed 3D intensity design is first converted into a two-dimensional intensity design for the extended source, a new approach is used to calculate the initial patch to generate a more stable design, and then a feedback strategy is employed to improve the performance of the aspherical lens in 3D rotational geometry. Three examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of performance and capacity for tackling complex designs.

Introduction: We have recently reported the clinical efficacy of mirogabalin for occlusal pain due to post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathic pain (PTTN-occlusal pain) after endodontic treatment according to the International Classification of Orofacial Pain criteria. This study aimed to determine the mirogabalin administration period and timing of dose reduction and suspension for treating this condition based on managing a certain number of cases.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with PTTN-occlusal pain after or during endodontic treatment were included in the study.

Objective: Image-guided diagnosis and treatment of lung lesions is an active area of research. With the growing number of solutions proposed, there is also a growing need to establish a standard for the evaluation of these solutions. Thus, realistic phantom and preclinical environments must be established.

The aim was to summarize the characteristics of exercise interventions based on the adherence of adults with obesity. Studies were identified through a systematic review of the literature conducted in databases in June 2022. The articles selected were from clinical trials involving adults with obesity.

Background: Cancer patients frequently suffer from pain, often managed with opioids. However, undertreated pain remains a significant concern. Opioid effectiveness varies due to genetic differences in how individuals metabolize some of these medications.
