The integration of vision and proprioception for estimating the hand's starting location prior to a reach has been shown to depend on the modality of the target towards which the reach is planned. Here we investigated whether the processing of online feedback is also influenced by target modality. Participants made reaching movements to a target that was defined by vision, proprioception, or bo...

The ASHP Vision for the Pharmacy Workforce in Hospitals and Health Systems expresses a vision for building the workforce capacity of pharmacy departments in hospitals and health systems to meet the growing challenges related to optimizing the use of medicines in those settings.

We address the problem of recognizing α-stable Lévy distribution with Lévy index close to 2 from experimental data. We are interested in the case when the sample size of available data is not large, thus the power law asymptotics of the distribution is not clearly detectable, and the shape of the empirical probability density function is close to a Gaussian. We propose a testing procedure combi...

purpose: to evaluate color vision in patients with type ii diabetes mellitus without diabetic retinopathy and compare the results with those of age- and sex- matched normal individuals. methods: this descriptive, comparative study was conducted on 100 diabetic patients without any sign of retinopathy and 100 age- and sex-matched normal subjects. color vision was evaluated using ishihara and far...

Measures were made of the ability of color-defective men to judge correctly the colors of navigation lights (red, green, or white) presented to them at night under realistic sea conditions. Eighty-one color-defective men were employed; they were categorized as to type and degree of defect using a battery of five color-vision tests. While the average performance of the color-defective men was co...

PURPOSE To develop and assess new color vision tests to be used in evaluating faulty color recognition. METHODS We developed new color vision tests to evaluate faulty color recognition. The two types of color vision tests, designed to assess faulty color recognition in color vision deficiencies, are based on principles that are different from those of the conventional color vision tests. In t...

AIM To investigate changes in colour discrimination as a result of chronic hypoxic exposure induced by extreme altitudes (above 8000 m) during an expedition to Mt Everest. METHODS Colour discrimination thresholds for tritan, protan and deutan axes were measured extensively in two male participants (four eyes) during an expedition to Mt Everest, using a quantitative, computer controlled psycho...

Purpose. To compare the sensitivity of 11 preschool vision screening tests administered by licensed eye care professionals for the detection of the 4 Vision in Preschoolers (VIP)-targeted vision disorders when specificity is 94%. Methods. This study consisted of a sample (n 2588) of 3to 5-year-old children enrolled in Head Start programs, 57% of whom had failed an initial Head Start vision scre...
