The most commonly occurring cancer in the world is breast cancer with more than 500,000 cases across the world. The detection mechanism for breast cancer is endoscopist-dependent and necessitates a skilled pathologist. However, in recent years many computer-aided diagnoses (CADs) have been used to diagnose and classify breast cancer using traditional RGB images that analyze the images only in three-color channels.

- Traditional glaucoma diagnostics use standard fundus images to assess features like the optic cup-to-disc ratio but may miss important details.
- This study introduces a new hyperspectral imaging technique that detects changes in oxygen saturation within retinal vessels, providing a richer analysis for diagnosing glaucoma.
- By employing machine learning algorithms like the Vision Transformer, researchers found that a specific spectral band (610-780 nm) achieved high accuracy in classification, suggesting that hyperspectral imaging could revolutionize how glaucoma is diagnosed compared to conventional methods.
Objective: This study tested the maintenance outcomes of a 3-month Sit Less, Walk More (SLWM) workplace intervention for office workers compared with usual care at 12 months from the baseline.
Method: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in two workplaces. The intervention group (n = 51) received multi-component intervention and the comparison group (n = 50) received newsletters only.
Objective: The aim of this study was to test the short-term efficacy of the Sit Less, Walk More (SLWM) workplace intervention.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental design. A total of 99 office workers from two workplaces participated in this study.
To determine the effectiveness of a pragmatic health promotion program to improve the metabolic disorders in older workers in Taiwan, we conducted a 24-week quasi-experiment in three worksites in southern Taiwan in 2010. Among 1,245 workers, 108 met the inclusion criteria (full-time workers aged over 50 years) and agreed to participate in the study. They were assigned to either the intervention (n = 58) or the reference group (n = 50) according to their availability to participate in health-promoting activities.
