Background: To evaluate the 6-year physiological rates-of-change in ganglion cell inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) and retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness measured with optical coherence tomography.
Methods: We included 2202 out of 2661 subjects from the population-based Singapore Chinese Eye Study who returned for follow-up 6 years after baseline examination (follow-up rate 87.7%).
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Cataract, Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) and Glaucoma are the four most common ocular conditions that affect a person's vision. Early detection in the asymptomatic stages can alleviate vision loss or slow down the progression of these diseases. However, manual diagnosis is a costly and tedious process, especially in mass screening applications.

- The study aimed to establish normal measurements for anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) to improve its clinical use in detecting primary angle closure disease (PACD).
- It included 2157 eyes from the Singapore Chinese Eye Study, excluding those with previous eye surgeries, where a deep-learning algorithm assessed various anterior chamber measurements.
- Findings showed that anterior chamber depth and width decreased with age and were smaller in females, while lens vault increased; specific percentile cut-offs were identified as effective indicators for detecting PACD.
Modern food supply chains are intrinsically sophisticated due to their multi-participant and multi-echelon structure, which are challenging to handle high turbulent business environment. The development of Perishable Food Supply Chains (PFSC) has to be strong enough to manage any type of disruptions in the food industry. At the same time, the food processing industry must also take responsibility for the social and environmental consequences of their deeds.

- The study explores the perception, interest, and barriers to practicing yoga among residents of Saudi Arabia, focusing on their stress levels.
- Conducted with 906 participants, mostly non-Saudi women aged 31-51, it found that many were aware of yoga's benefits but varied in their practice based on stress levels.
- The results suggest a connection between stress and yoga awareness and participation, highlighting the need for more in-depth research on the topic.
