Computer vision syndrome and associated factors among urban and rural bankers in Trinidad and Tobago.

Background: Modern workplace requirements in the banking sector require bankers to work on screens for more than 6 h a day, putting much stress and strain on their eyes, which leads to computer vision syndrome. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of computer vision syndrome and associated factors among urban and rural bankers in Trinidad and Tobago.

Methods And Materials: A cross-sectional design was applied to collect data from 399 bankers between April and June 2023.

Ultrasonic displacement measurements from local absorption of ultrasound in thermochromic liquid crystal sensors.

Wavefield imaging can be used for measuring the wavefield produced by an ultrasound transducer for medical and industrial applications, or for the detection and monitoring of defects in non-destructive testing. Typical wavefield imaging methods include interferometry/vibrometry, and the use of microphones and hydrophones. These involve scanning, making them time consuming, and microphones have limited resolution.

Characterising illness stages and recovery trajectories of eating disorders in young people via remote measurement technology (STORY): a multi-centre prospective cohort study protocol.

Background: Eating disorders (EDs) are serious, often chronic, conditions associated with pronounced morbidity, mortality, and dysfunction increasingly affecting young people worldwide. Illness progression, stages and recovery trajectories of EDs are still poorly characterised. The STORY study dynamically and longitudinally assesses young people with different EDs (restricting; bingeing/bulimic presentations) and illness durations (earlier; later stages) compared to healthy controls.
