Published: August 1992

The point of fixation during visual display terminal (VDT) work was analyzed by using Eye Mark Recorder-NAC with their corneal reflexes. The subjects were categorized into 2 groups, expert VDT worker and non-expert with VDT work. As for the VDT task, Japanese sentences were loaded. On the other hand, ordinary desk work copying was loaded using the same Japanese sentences. The following results were obtained. VDT work needed more complex eye movements in both vertical and horizontal directions compared with desk work. The point of fixation was mainly located on the surface of the oscilloscope in the expert subjects, whereas, it was mainly located on the keyboard in non-expert subjects. In analyzing the velocity of eye movements during VDT work, the expert moved the eyes more slowly than the non-expert. These results suggested that the VDT experts can move their eyes more effectively and slowly.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate whether lacrimal gland tissue stiffness can aid in diagnosing dry eye disease (DED) using shear wave elastography (SWE). We also aimed to assess the correlation between the subjective symptoms of ocular strain, SWE values, and other ocular examination findings (Schirmer's test and tear film breakup time [TBUT]) contributing to the diagnosis of DED.

Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 300 participants who were engaged in video display terminal (VDT) work and had been diagnosed with DED by an ophthalmologist for more than one year, and 100 healthy participants without DED symptoms, from August 2020 to December 2021.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, face masks, as personal protective equipment (PPE) against the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), have been widely used worldwide. How to properly dispose of used PPE has brought a huge challenge to the ecosystem and human health. Here we proposed a laser flash pyrolysis (LFP) strategy to upcycle the used polypropylene(PP) face mask to vinylidene-terminated PP wax (PP-VDT) and further functionalized for compatibilizer application.

Background: Postural stability is maintained by the Postural Control System (PCS), consisting of anatomical structures of Central Nervous System and peripheral receptors, interacting with each other, in order to keep whole-body balance by modulating the myofascial chains against gravity. The vision is one of the most important peripheral receptors for postural control. Previous studies analyzed the changes of body sway during viewing nearby (VNT) and distant (VDT) targets in healthy population without considering the feet adaptations related to the body weight distribution.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aims to define criteria for treating colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) using a three-dimensional liver model created by an expert panel, allowing for better treatment predictions.
  • Data from two multicenter trials involved 202 participants with small CRLM (≤3 cm) and explored treatment options like resection, thermal ablation, and irreversible electroporation (IRE).
  • The findings indicate a clear distinction in treatment preferences based on tumor location, suggesting superficial tumors should be resected, while deeper tumors should be treated with ablation, effectively predicting treatment recommendations in 73.8% of cases.
