We report on the effect of a strong and protracted advanced response in pulse transmission and reflection in a double-prism scheme. In distinction to the well-known activity on superluminal-like tunneling of an electromagnetic pulse through a gap of a double prism, we consider an optical pulse refracting to a gap and sliding therein. The formation of a multiperiod light jet running within the gap well before the incident pulse is shown with account of normal material dispersion and excitation of leaky modes in the gap.

  • The study investigates the relationship between metformin use and the incidence of gout in adults with pre-diabetes, aiming to clarify how metformin affects gout risk.
  • Researchers conducted a cohort study with 25,064 pre-diabetic individuals, comparing 1,154 metformin users to 13,877 non-users, and found that metformin users had a lower incidence rate of gout.
  • The findings suggest that starting metformin may help reduce the risk of developing gout in people with pre-diabetes, highlighting its potential benefits beyond blood sugar management.
