The present study is the fourth of a major epidemiologic health investigation on work with a video display terminal (VDT). The other studies showed that VDT operators replying to questionnaires have more eye discomfort than a reference group of office employees not employed in VDT work and that women have more eye discomfort, musculoskeletal complaints, headache, and skin disorders than men. Routine ophthalmologic examinations failed to establish any appreciable differences between the groups; for example, the prevalence of myopia was the same. In the present study, the VDT operators and referents were examined before and at the end of work sessions for changes in refraction, accommodation, convergence capacity, and binocular vision such as heterophoria and fusion range. No differences could be established between the VDT operators and the referents.

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.

Aim: Lung cancer growth rate influences screening strategies and treatment decisions. This review aims to provide an overview of primary lung cancer growth rate, quantified by volume doubling time (VDT) through computed tomography (CT) measurement.
Methods: Using PRISMA-DTA guideline, PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched until March 2024 for studies reporting CT-measured VDT of pathologically confirmed primary lung cancer before intervention.

Introduction: Conducting Visual Display Terminal (VDT) visual search tasks under time constraint has broad applications in fields such as security checks, medical diagnostics, and rescue operations. While excessive time pressure can impair performance, moderate time pressure can motivate individuals to complete tasks and increase productivity. Investigating the positive impact of time pressure on visual search tasks has become a crucial area of study.

Background: Prediction of subsolid nodule (SSN) interval growth is crucial for clinical management and decision making in lung cancer screening program. To the best of our knowledge, no study has investigated whether volume doubling time (VDT) is an independent factor for predicting SSN interval growth, or whether its predictive power is better than that of traditional semantic methods, such as nodular diameter or type. This study aimed to investigate whether VDT could provide added value in predicting the long-term natural course of SSNs (<3 cm) regarding stage shift.
