This paper presents a home-built projection lithographer designed to transfer the image from a DLP (digital light processing) projector MEMS matrix onto the microscope objective's field of view, where a photoresist-covered substrate is placed. The photoresist is exposed using blue light with a wavelength of 450 nm. To calibrate the device and adjust focal lengths, we utilize a red light that does not affect the photoresist. The substrate is located on a movable platform, allowing the exposure field to be shifted, enabling the exposure of designs with lateral sizes of 1 × 1 cm2 at a resolution of a few micrometers. Our setup showcases a 2 μm resolution for the single frame 200 × 100 μm2, and a 5 μm resolution for 1 × 1 cm2 with field stitching. The exposure speed, approximately 1 mm2/100 s, proves to be sufficient for a variety of laboratory prototyping needs. This system offers a significant advantage due to its utilization of easily accessible and budget-friendly components, thereby enhancing its accessibility for a broader user base. The exposure speed and resolution meet the requirements for laboratory prototyping in the fields of 2D materials, quantum optics, superconducting microelectronics, microfluidics, and biology.

Background: In STREAM-1 (Strategic Reperfusion Early After Myocardial Infarction), excess intracranial hemorrhage occurred in patients aged ≥75 years receiving full-dose tenecteplase as part of a pharmaco-invasive strategy, whereas no further intracranial hemorrhage occurred after halving the tenecteplase dose. In STREAM-2 (Second Strategic Reperfusion Early After Myocardial Infarction), half-dose tenecteplase was an effective and safe pharmaco-invasive strategy in older patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction presenting within <3 hours, compared with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We prespecified evaluating the efficacy and safety of a half-dose versus full-dose pharmaco-invasive strategy and compared the half-dose pharmaco-invasive strategy to primary PCI in patients aged ≥75 years.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored the feasibility of 7 T MR neurography for imaging the lumbosacral plexus, comparing it to standard 3 T MR neurography in healthy subjects.
- Results showed that 7 T MRI significantly improved the visibility of lumbar nerve structures, but it also introduced more image artifacts.
- While overall image quality was similar between the two techniques, the improved visualization capabilities of 7 T MR neurography suggest it is a promising option for studying the lumbosacral plexus despite the increased artifacts.
Harnessing forward multiple scattering for optical imaging deep inside an opaque medium.

As light travels through a disordered medium such as biological tissues, it undergoes multiple scattering events. This phenomenon is detrimental to in-depth optical microscopy, as it causes a drastic degradation of contrast, resolution and brightness of the resulting image beyond a few scattering mean free paths. However, the information about the inner reflectivity of the sample is not lost; only scrambled.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the interreader reliability and per-RCC sensitivity of high-resolution photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) in the detection and characterization of renal masses in comparison to MRI.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 24 adult patients (mean age, 52 ± 14 years; 14 females) who underwent PCCT (using an investigational whole-body CT scanner) and abdominal MRI within a 3-month time interval and underwent surgical resection (partial or radical nephrectomy) with histopathology (n = 70 lesions). Of the 24 patients, 17 had a germline mutation and the remainder were sporadic cases.
