Computer vision syndrome and associated factors among urban and rural bankers in Trinidad and Tobago.
PeerJ
December 2024
Department of Clinical Surgical Sciences, University of the West Indies St. Augustine, St Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago.
Background: Modern workplace requirements in the banking sector require bankers to work on screens for more than 6 h a day, putting much stress and strain on their eyes, which leads to computer vision syndrome. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of computer vision syndrome and associated factors among urban and rural bankers in Trinidad and Tobago.
Methods And Materials: A cross-sectional design was applied to collect data from 399 bankers between April and June 2023.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of Demodex mites in the development of eyelid papillomas, focusing on how their presence may influence the tumor's histomorphological characteristics.
- Histomorphological examinations revealed demodectic infection indicators, such as cystic formations and remnants of the mite, in nearly half of the analyzed cases, found within tumor tissues and surrounding structures.
- The findings suggest that these cavity defects created by mite activity may serve as indicators of Demodex infestation, with implications for understanding their impact on various eyelid tumors, including keratoacanthomas and senile keratosis.

Article Synopsis
- Wildfire incidents are rising globally, leading to increased eye injury risks for firefighters due to smoke exposure, prompting a study on ocular symptoms and protective eyewear use among Australian wildland firefighters.
- A survey with 338 participants revealed that 90% experienced eye irritation at work, with females reporting higher irritation levels; while 67% often wore protective eyewear, 55% had to remove it due to issues like sweat or fogging.
- The study highlights frequent eye irritation's impact on firefighters' abilities, suggesting a need for better protective strategies and support for eye recovery following smoke exposure.

Article Synopsis
- New AI technologies can help doctors better manage glaucoma by improving how they screen and diagnose the disease, but there are challenges to overcome.* -
- Creating AI programs is tough because they need a lot of data, but it can be hard to get good data and doctors might not trust them since they don't always show how they work.* -
- Future improvements in AI might include protecting patient data and using smartphones more in healthcare, which could change how doctors help patients with glaucoma.*
Commit to your putting stroke: exploring the impact of quiet eye duration and neural activity on golf putting performance.
Front Psychol
July 2024
School of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, United Kingdom.
Introduction: There is a growing interest in characterizing the cognitive-motor processes that underlie superior performance in highly skilled athletes. The aim of this study was to explore neural markers of putting performance in highly skilled golfers by recording mobile EEG (electroencephalogram) during the pre-shot period.
Methods: Twenty-eight right-handed participants (20 males) with a mean age of 24.
