Objective: To determine the agreement between measurements of accommodative amplitude (AoA) in children using a specialised accommodative rule and measurments without it.
Methods: A total of 502 children underwent optometric examinations, including the measurement of visual acuity, objective and subjective refraction. AoA measurements were done with and without the Berens accommodative rule.

Kashmir's oldest Neolithic settlement dates back to 3000 BC. It stood as the centre of Buddhism and Hinduism for centuries, till the arrival of Islam in thirteenth century. Although Muslims ruled Kashmir under different empires for about four centuries and ever since there has always been a significant Muslim populace in Kashmir with or without Muslim rule, yet the literature about the history of health care in Kashmir and particularly the history about Muslim contributions to healthcare is sparingly limited.

Background And Objective: Bleeding following endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) may occur as a result of numerous factors, including a diameter of esophageal varices (EV) that is too large to be completely ligated. The present study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence-based endoscopic virtual ruler (EVR) to measure the diameter of EV with a view to finding more suitable cases for EVL.
Methods: The present study was a multicenter retrospective study that included a total of 1,062 EVLs in 727 patients with liver cirrhosis with EV, who underwent EVL from April 2016 to March 2023.

Introduction: The microsurgical literature reports the vascular calibers of the vessels studied even though the method of measurement of these vessels is very rarely reported.
Material And Method: We performed a metrological study evaluating three methods to measure the external calibers of catheters corresponding to microsurgical and super-microsurgical vessels (1.2 mm, 0.

Smartphones are currently extensively used worldwide, and advances in hardware quality have engendered improvements in smartphone image quality, which is occasionally comparable to the quality of medical imaging systems. This paper proposes two algorithms for pupil recognition: a stateful-service-based pupil recognition mechanism and color component low-pass filtering algorithm. The PRSSM algorithm can determine pupil diameters in images captured in indoor natural light environments, and the CCLPF algorithm can determine pupil diameters in those captured outdoors under sunlight.
