We propose a hole-patterned large aperture (LA) liquid crystal (LC) lens with a diameter of 6 mm. In our design, a floating ring electrode is embedded into the interface between the dielectric layer and the LC layer. This structure increases the electric field strength around the floating ring electrode located near the aperture center and assists in distributing the fringing electric field throughout the LC layer. Therefore, the thick dielectric layer used in the conventional hole-patterned LA LC lens can be effectively decreased. Consequently, the proposed LA LC lens has low operation voltage, large lens power, and introduces a low wavefront error of approximately 0.07 λ.

Background: Drowning remains a significant cause of mortality among children world-wide, making prevention strategies crucial. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends training children in safe rescue techniques, including the use of basic skills such as throwing floating objects. This study aims to address a knowledge gap regarding the throwing capabilities of children aged six to twelve using conventional and alternative water rescue materials.

An enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF) is one of the most feared complications of damage control laparotomy. Its management is highly challenging, often requiring multiple surgeries and prolonged hospitalization. It is a serious condition, and despite significant improvements in mortality rates due to advancements in intensive care, the rate remains substantial.

Anticancer effects of high-dose vitamin C (VC) have been evaluated on many cancer cell lines, and its efficacy in clinical trials and in combination with anticancer drugs or radiation have been reported; however, its effect on gastric cancer and its mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, the cell growth inhibitory/lethal effects of high-dose ascorbic acid (AsA), a reduced form of VC was examined on three gastric cancer cell lines. Of these, signet ring cell carcinoma NUGC-4 cells were the most sensitive, but the effects were small and limited in normal cells.

Background: Knowledge regarding adenocarcinoma of the rete testis (ACRT) is extremely limited due to its scarcity.
Methods And Results: This study enrolled 18 patients with ACRT from multiple institutions. Clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features were investigated, together with a comprehensive review of 95 previously reported cases.
Sleep, Well-Being, and Cognition in Medical Interns on a Float or Overnight Call Schedule.

Article Synopsis
- Extended work hours and night shifts in healthcare can negatively impact physicians' sleep, well-being, and patient care, suggesting that alternative work schedules with shorter hours may help alleviate these problems.
- An observational study tracked interns at a Singapore hospital for 8 weeks to compare the effects of irregular, extended shifts versus more regular, restricted-hour schedules on sleep, well-being, and cognitive performance.
- Results indicated that participant well-being and sleep patterns varied significantly between those on irregular call schedules and those on a float schedule, highlighting the potential benefits of more predictable work hours for healthcare professionals.
