In order to evaluate driving abilities of each traffic participant, standardised and objective measurement methods are needed. The applicability and value of infrared pupillography as an objective measurement method to indicate possible influence of central nervous acting substances has been demonstrated in former publications. Healthy test subjects (n = 41), as well as persons who were under the influence of drugs and/or medication (n = 105), were exposed to different light stimuli using infrared technology in order to demonstrate the relevance of specific parameters of the pupillary light reflex (PLR) in the field of traffic medicine. Based on former reported results, the statistical examination was extended to further parameters of the PLR, which again confirmed the high value of infrared pupillography as a reliable indicator of previous consumption of drugs and/or medication.

Purpose: To analyse anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) parameters of graft dehiscence after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) for graft failure post penetrating keratoplasty (PK).
Methods: Retrospective evaluation of AS-OCT images of 142 dehiscences post-DMEK in 75 eyes. Dehiscences' size, depth, location, correlation with graft-host interface (GHI) override and step at GHI were assessed.

Objective: Osteoarthritis (OA) represents a condition under the influence of central nervous system (CNS) regulatory mechanisms. This investigation aims to examine the causal association between viral infections of the central nervous system (VICNS) and inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (IDCNS) and knee osteoarthritis (KOA) at the genetic level.
Methods: In this investigation, VICNS and IDCNS were considered as primary exposure variables, while KOA served as the primary outcome.

Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased significantly in recent years and is a causal risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. Moreover, chronic degenerative joint diseases are also triggered by obesity.
Weight Loss: Both obesity-related secondary diseases-type 2 diabetes and chronic degenerative joint disease-can be prevented or at least delayed by lifestyle intervention aimed at weight reduction.

Given the overall positive influence ethical leaders have on their followers' performance, the literature has largely assumed that ethical leadership also facilitates the performance of leaders themselves. We challenge this assumption by adopting a within-person perspective to reveal more nuanced relationships between distinct forms of daily ethical leadership and daily leader performance. Building on the affect theory of social exchange (Lawler, 2001), we develop a theoretical model that examines the diverging effects of daily promotion- and prevention-focused ethical leadership on daily leader performance through the reciprocal influence of followers' affective reactions.
