This work is a unique integration of three different areas, including smart eye status monitoring, supply chain operations reference (SCOR), and system dynamics, to explore the dynamics network eye/vision monitoring systems. Chronic diseases such as glaucoma affect millions individuals worldwide and, if left untreated, can lead irreversible vision loss. Nearly half affected population unaware c...

BACKGROUND Singapore's population, as that of many other countries, is aging; this is likely to lead to an increase in eye diseases and the demand for eye care. Since ophthalmologist training is long and expensive, early planning is essential. This paper forecasts workforce and training requirements for Singapore up to the year 2040 under several plausible future scenarios. METHODS The Singap...

In this paper, a tree decomposition model for eye blink detection is presented. The work is defined as a layered model for identification of human object over the video and identifying the moment based analysis over the video frames. At first the object region is identified and then the decomposition model is applied for eye blink identification based on featured map. The results show that the ...

kindler's syndrome is a rare entity of unknown cause characterized by acral blisters early in life followed by progressive diffuse poikiloderma and cutaneous atrophy. the inheritance pattern of this syndrome is not clear. we report four iranian siblings (three boys and one girl) with this syndrome, who were the result of a consanguineous marriage. in addition to the usual manifestations of the ...

PURPOSE The present study was concerned with the development of a new experimental model of dry eye using human reconstructed in vitro corneal epithelium (HCE). The model is based on the use of adapted culture conditions that induce relevant modifications at the cellular and molecular level thus mimicking dry eye. METHODS The HCE model was maintained in a controlled environmental setting (rel...

purpose: to evaluate the prevalence of acute ocular chemical injuries in patients referred to labbafinejad medical center (lmc) over a period of one year. methods: all patients with chemical burns referred to lmc emergency ophthalmology service were included in the study. demographic characteristics and information regarding the burn were obtained. visual acuity assessment and slit lamp examina...

conclusions eye trauma was prevalent among males, young people, urban residents, and manual and industrial workers. as the eyes play a vital role in daily life, communication, and work activities, and eye health is so important for individuals to attain high educational status and productivity, the public should be thoroughly educated about eye protection and the use of safety measures, especia...

rapid prototyping (rp) is a technique of manufacturing parts by the additive layer manufacturing technology; where, a three-dimensional (3d) model created in a computer aided design (cad) system is sectioned into 2d profiles, which are further constructed by rp layer by layer. its use is not limited to industrial or engineering fields and has extended to the medical field for the manufacturing ...

a small clinical and serological survey to determine the prevalence and severity of trachoma was conducted in 11 iranian villages located in the dezful and kazerun areas. no evidence of severe active disease or severe squeal was found among the 389 individuals examined. seventy-seven per cent of those examined were more than 12 years of age. the prevalence of active trachoma by clinical examina...
