Texting while driving is a visual problem influenced by phone viewing angle and working distance in young individuals.

Purpose: To investigate the impact of smartphone viewing distance and angle on reaction times.

Design: A prospective, self-controlled, single-center study.

Methods: Participants engaged in a driving simulation facing a large screen with a simulated brake pedal.

Interface Fluid Syndrome Masquerading as Diffuse Lamellar Keratitis After Small Incision Lenticule Extraction.

A 34-year-old male with no past medical or ocular history underwent bilateral uncomplicated small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). On day 1, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 20/25 in the right eye (OD) and 20/20 in the left eye (OS). The intraocular pressure (IOP) was 12 mmHg in both eyes (OU).

Engineering of functional replication protein a homologs based on insights into the evolution of oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding folds.

The bacterial single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB) and the archaeal/eukaryotic functional homolog, replication protein A (RPA), are essential for most aspects of DNA metabolism. Structural analyses of the architecture of SSB and RPA suggest that they are composed of different combinations of a module called the oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB) fold. Members of the domains Bacteria and Eukarya, in general, contain one type of SSB or RPA.
