The measurement of aspheric and free-form surfaces in a non-null test configuration has the advantage that no compensation optics is required. However, if a surface is measured in a non-null test configuration, retrace errors are introduced to the measurement. We describe a method to calibrate the test space of an interferometer, enabling to compensate retrace errors. The method is effective even for strong deviations from null test configuration up to several 100 waves, enabling the fast and flexible measurement of aspheres and free-form surfaces. In this paper we present the application of the method to the calibration of the Tilted Wave Interferometer. Furthermore, the method can be generalized to the calibration of other setups.

Combination therapies with multiple mechanisms of action can offer improved efficacy and/or safety profiles when compared to a single therapy with one mechanism of action. Consequently, the number of combination therapy studies have increased multi-fold, both in oncology and non-oncology indications. However, identifying the optimal doses of each drug in a combination therapy can require a large sample size and prolong study timelines, especially when full factorial designs are used.

Introduction: Gene therapy is now a reality for individuals with haemophilia, yet little is known regarding the quality-of-life impact of factor correction. As few data exist, and recognizing the analogy to liver transplantation (OLTX), we identified OLTX+ and OLTX- men in the ATHNdataset to compare post-OLTX factor VIII and IX on quality of life (QoL) by Haem-A-QoL and PROMIS-29.

Methods: OLTX- were matched to OLTX+ by age, race, and haemophilia type and severity.
