Introduction: The basic idea of video-microsurgery is the improvement of ergonomic conditions in microsurgical procedures by replacing the bulky operating microscope with a compact videosystem.
Objective: To specify optical requirements on a videosystem for microsurgical intracranial procedures in neurosurgery.
Methods: During 27 microsurgical intracranial procedures (12 cerebellopontine angle and 15 supratentorial) zoom factor, focus distance and illumination parameters of the operating microscope were continuously recorded. Ergonomic aspects were documented as well.
Results: The zoom factor ranged from 1.7 to 13.5 in CPA procedures and from 1.4 to 13.4 in supratentorial procedures. The focus distance ranged from 180 mm to 367 mm in CPA procedures and from 188 mm-472 mm in supratentorial procedures.
Conclusion: From an optical point of view current operating microscopes meet the requirements of intracranial microneurosurgery. However, ergonomically further developments are highly desirable. Video microsurgery is a promising field and could hold a solution to this problem.

Background: Effect of dynamic lighting on sleep were studied since 1980's. Traditional light sources were used due to lack of advancement in technology and also researchers assumed illuminance as cause of melatonin suppression. This led researchers to use high illuminance to suppress melatonin at day time.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) includes conditions with autoimmune genesis, which are manifested by attacks of optic neuritis (ON) and transverse myelitis (TM), and also express aquaporin 4 (NMO-IgG) or myelin oligo-endocytic glycoprotein (MOGAb) antibodies. In rare cases, the disease may also have a clinical presentation with only TM, without ON or with ON, without TM. These conditions are also included in the spectrum.

Demand for user authentication in virtual reality (VR) applications is increasing such as in-app payments, password manager, and access to private data. Traditionally, hand controllers have been widely used for the user authentication in VR environment, with which the users can typewrite a password or draw a pre-registered pattern; however, the conventional approaches are generally inconvenient and time-consuming. In this study, we proposed a new user authentication method based on eye-writing patterns identified using electrooculogram (EOG) recorded from four locations around the eyes in contact with the face-pad of a VR headset.

Proteases, an important class of enzymes that cleave proteins and peptides, carry a wealth of potentially useful information. Devices to enable routine and cost effective measurement of their activity could find frequent use in clinical settings for medical diagnostics, as well as some industrial contexts such as detecting on-line biological contamination. In particular, devices that make use of readouts involving magnetic particles may offer distinct advantages for continuous sensing because material they release can be magnetically captured downstream and their readout is insensitive to optical properties of the sample.
