This study investigated the relationship between the active cervical range of motion (ROM) and changes in the head and neck posture after continuous visual display terminal (VDT) work. Twenty VDT workers were recruited from laboratories. The active cervical ROM of the participants was measured and videotaped to capture the craniocervical and cervicothoracic angles using a single video camera be...

Graph-based methods provide a powerful tool set for many non-parametric frameworks in Machine Learning. In general, the memory and computational complexity of these methods is quadratic in the number of examples in the data which makes them quickly infeasible for moderate to large scale datasets. A significant effort to find more efficient solutions to the problem has been made in the literatur...

INTRODUCTION Managers must strive for a healthy and productive working environment for end users. Eliminating or reducing lost work days and improving worker productivity in turn relates to the organization’s profitability. VDT related health issues are important to end users, managers, and the organization as a whole. End user computing is becoming commonplace in most businesses. In 1993 more ...

Abstract: 
 Introduction and purpose: This review aims to analyze causes, symptoms diagnosis of overdosing vitamin D resulting in toxicity (VDT). Material method: paper was based on medical articles collected Pubmed from 2008 2021 year. The research has been done by looking through keywords such as “vitamin D” “toxicity”. Results: studies showed that manifestation VDT is mainly associated ...

Work involving video display terminals (VDTs) is very common in modern society. VDT work has accompanied the sharp increase in the use of personal computers for work in the last several decades. According to a national survey of the Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Japanese laborers who engaged in VDT-related work comprised only 15.3% of all the working population in 1998, but afte...

This study aimed to examine the effects of visual display terminal (VDT) viewing angle on human postural angle and muscular activity. The participants' neck, thoracic bending, and trunk inclination angles; and the activity of sternocleidomastoid, trapezius, splenius capitis, and erector spinae at 5 viewing angles (+40°, +20°, 0°, -20°, and -40°) of a VDT screen were collected for 1 min. This st...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigated the combined effect of 2-Methoxyestradiol (2ME2) and (60)Co on the cytogenetic damage of iododeoxyuridine (IUdR) in the spheroid model of U87MG glioblastoma cancer cell lines by alkaline comet assay. MATERIALS AND METHODS U87MG cells were cultured as spheroids with diameters of 350 µm. As control, the spheroids of one plate were not treated. Other cult...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to obtain quantitative information from published data on the potential association between video display terminal (VDT) use during pregnancy and the outcome. DESIGN Results of nine published case-control studies (or cohort studies analysed as case-control) on the relation between VDT exposure during pregnancy and the outcome were sought by reviewing reference list...

The study described in this article was designed to evaluate visual fatigue induced during video display terminal (VDT) tasks. Newly developed equipment was used that can simultaneously measure pupillary change, focal accommodation, and eye movement. The changes in these 3 physiological measures, taken during a VDT task, were used to propose an index for evaluating visual fatigue. Through multi...

Visual fatigue of VDT (visual display terminal) operators poses a serious problem for corporations where VDT work is a major part of operations. In this study, an investigation in a corporation was carried out to examine the effect of polyphenol on recovery from visual fatigue of the visual function caused by working at a VDT. Three kinds of parameters were used for evaluating the effect of pol...
