Purpose: To report the results of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation by ray tracing in eyes with previous myopic excimer laser surgery.
Setting: G.B. Bietti Foundation I.R.C.C.S., Rome, Italy.
Design: Retrospective interventional case series.
Methods: A series of consecutive patients undergoing phacoemulsification and IOL implantation after myopic excimer laser was investigated. IOL power was calculated using ray-tracing software available on the anterior segment optical coherence tomographer MS-39. Axial length (AL) was measured by optical biometry, and 4 values were investigated: (1) that from the printout, (2) the modified Wang/Koch formula, and (3) the polynomial equation for the Holladay 1 and (4) for the Holladay 2 formulas. The mean prediction error (PE), median absolute error (MedAE), and percentage of eyes with a PE within ±0.50 diopters (D) were reported.
Results: The study enrolled 39 eyes. Entering the original AL into ray tracing led to a mean hyperopic PE (+0.56 ±0.54 D), whereas with the Wang/Koch formula, a mean myopic PE (-0.41 ±0.53 D) was obtained. The Holladay 1 and 2 polynomial equations lead to the lowest PEs (-0.10 ±0.49 D and +0.08 ±0.49 D, respectively), lowest MedAE (0.37 D and 0.25 D), and highest percentages of eyes with a PE within ±0.50 D (71.79% and 76.92%). Calculations based on the Holladay 2 polynomial equation showed a statistically significant difference compared with other methods used (including Barrett-True K formula), with the only exception of the Holladay 1 polynomial equation.
Conclusions: IOL power was accurately calculated by ray tracing with adjusted AL according to the Holladay 2 polynomial equation.

Purpose Of Review: This review explores the use of Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) for quantifying metals and metalloids in biological matrices such as hair, nails, blood, bone, and tissue. It provides a comprehensive overview of these methodologies, detailing their technological limitations, application scopes, and practical considerations for selection in both laboratory and field settings. By examining traditional and novel aspects of each method, this review aims to guide researchers and clinical practitioners in choosing the most suitable analytical tool based on their specific needs for sensitivity, precision, speed, and sample preparation.

Zinc has been shown to stimulate osteoblastic bone formation and mineralization and inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption. Although osteoporosis is highly prevalent among patients undergoing hemodialysis, the utility of areal bone mineral density (aBMD) measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is limited because DXA cannot reveal bone microarchitectural alterations.

Underwater acoustic transducers need to expand the coverage of acoustic signals as much as possible in most ocean explorations, and the directivity indicators of transducers are difficult to change after the device is packaged, which makes the emergence angle of the underwater acoustic transducer limited in special operating environments, such as polar regions, submarine volcanoes, and cold springs. Taking advantage of the refractive characteristics of sound waves propagating in different media, the directivity indicators can be controlled by installing an acoustic lens outside the underwater acoustic transducer. To increase the detection range of an underwater acoustic transducer in a specific marine environment, a curvature-determining method for the diverging acoustic lens of an underwater acoustic transducer is proposed based on the acoustic ray tracing theory.

To improve maneuverability, the focus of photoelectric theodolites is on reducing the weight of the primary mirror and enhancing its optical performance. This study uses MOAT and Sobol methods to identify key parameters that affect design. Using the high-sensitivity part as the optimization domain, six optimization results were obtained based on the multi-objective SIMP topology optimization method and synthesized into a compromise optimization structure.

Rhabdophane, CePO∙HO, nanoparticles were prepared by mechanochemical synthesis with different durations and thoroughly characterized by various characterization techniques. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the optimal synthesis duration was 15 min, since, in this case, pure rhabdophane is obtained, without traces of contamination by the vessel material. The size of the obtained nanoparticles, as determined from high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images, was around 5 nm.
