Pulse spreading in a single-mode optical fiber is discussed taking into account the third-order dispersion term of the waveguide when an optical source with a finite spectral width is modulated by a Gaussian-shaped pulse. Explicit forms for group velocity and pulse width are obtained taking into account both the optical source bandwidth and modulation bandwidth, and these are compared with those obtained by a simple theory. A condition is also made clear how small the second-order dispersion term has to be before the thirdorder dispersion term becomes important.

Cushing's syndrome related to higher rates and earlier onset of cataract: A nationwide retrospective cohort study.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol

January 2025

School of Medicine, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel.

Purpose: To investigate the risk of cataract in patients with Cushing's syndrome (CS) and evaluate whether disease onset occurs at an earlier age compared to general population.

Methods: A nationwide retrospective matched-cohort study including individuals diagnosed with endogenous CS from 2000 to 2023. Patients with CS were matched in a 1:5 ratio with a control group individually matched for age, sex, socioeconomic status, and body mass index.

Purpose: To compare changes in angle morphology, anterior chamber depth (ACD) and refractive prediction error (PE) after phacoemulsification between pseudoexfoliative (PEX) and non-PEX eyes.

Methods: Prospective case-control study of eyes submitted to cataract surgery. Biometric data and angle parameters - Anterior Chamber Angle (ACA), Angle Opening Distance (AOD), Scleral Spur Angles (SSA) and Trabecular Iris Space Area (TISA) - were measured preoperatively and 1-month postoperatively through swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography.
