The paper analyses results after a study of visual fatigue by means of determining the perception time of a color successive contrast in children, aged from 10 to 13 years, before and after intensive dosed visual load. The revealed high percentage of visual fatigue in children (40.4-52.5%) is likely to be connected with the fact that the study was made in spring time when signs and body asthenization, avitaminosis are expressed. It was found that perception of a color successive contrast in children with eye myopization is shorter as compared with children with stably normal visual acuity.

Background: The Visual Short Term Memory Binding (VSTMBT) task is a gold-standard cognitive assessment for the identification of Alzheimer's Disease and associated risk factors, including during the preclinical stage. Previous work from our group (Butler, Watermeyer, …& Parra 2024) demonstrated in a small number (n=37) of healthy older adults that data collected using a web-based, self-administrated version of the task provides data comparable to that collected in laboratory conditions. Here we incorporated a machine learning (ML) approach to explore impacts of risk factors on this task in a larger digital dataset.

Long COVID (LC) is a complex multisymptom condition with no known disease-modifying treatments. This wait-list-controlled open-label trial tested whether a remotely delivered structured weight management program could improve respective LC symptoms in people living with overweight. Adults with LC (symptoms >12 weeks) and body mass index >27 kg m (>25 kg m for South Asians) were randomized (n = 234, 1:1) to control (n = 116, usual care) or the remotely delivered structured weight management (n = 118, total diet replacement (850 kcal per day) for 12 weeks, followed by food reintroduction and weight loss maintenance support) via minimization and randomization (80:20) to balance dominant LC symptom, sex, age, ethnicity and postcode-based index of multiple deprivation between groups.

Approximately 10% of patients experience persistent symptoms following COVID-19, known as long-COVID syndrome. This cross-sectional study explored factors of quality of life (QoL) in 53 long-COVID patients. QoL was measured using the World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index, fatigue with the Fatigue Visual Analogue Scale, and psychological health with the Depression-Anxiety-Stress-21 questionnaire.

Health-related quality of life (QOL) has gained importance due to the increasing incidence of breast cancer and the survival rate of breast cancer patients. We aimed to investigate the relationship between lymphedema, fatigue, and QOL in breast cancer survivors with axillary lymph node dissection. A total of 122 female breast cancer survivors with axillary lymph node dissection who applied to the oncology center of a teaching and research hospital between April 1, 2022, and July 1, 2022, were included in the cross-sectional study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between oral hygiene (OH) efficiency and manual dexterity skills in Spanish five-year-old children using two fine motor tests.
Methods: A cross-sectional study with a pre-post evaluation was designed. The children's OH was measured according to the Silness and Löe plaque index (PI) before toothbrushing upon arrival at school (pre) and after supervised toothbrushing (post).
