Conventional lens-based image relays introduce radial group delay that significantly reduces focal-spot intensity of ultra-broadband short pulses. A direct compensation scheme that can be used with conventional singlet image relays is proposed. The compensation scheme is based on using two negative lenses embedded within an Offner imaging system. The setup allows a single-pass configuration and eliminates the need for polarization switching optics. The performance of this setup is calculated using ray tracing. The compensation improves the spatiotemporal Strehl ratio from 0.02 to 0.97.

Background: Limitations to using the knee as donor cartilage include cartilage thickness mismatch and donor site morbidity. Using the radial head as donor autograft for capitellar lesions may allow for local graft harvest without distant donor site morbidity. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of performing local osteochondral autograft transfer from the nonarticular cartilaginous rim of the radial head to the capitellum.

Rectal cancer's prevalence increases with an aging population, disproportionately affecting the elderly. The suitability of surgical interventions for this demographic is contentious due to underrepresentation during surgery. This study examines the practicality of utilizing Da Vinci surgery for rectal cancer patients who are 70 years and older.

Purpose: To evaluate optic disc and macular microvasculature changes in children with anisometropic amblyopia before and after treatment.

Methods: In all, 60 children with unilateral anisometropic amblyopia between the ages of 6 and 12 were randomly selected from the ophthalmology clinic of Fuyang People's Hospital, while 60 children with non-amblyopia in the same age range were randomly selected as a normal control group. The right eye was uniformly taken in the control group with at least 6 months of follow-up.
