Working with visual display terminals (VDT) is growing significantly in the global information age, vast growth of digital devices, which also followed by a higher incidence health issues. To explore physical and mental impacts long term use on population Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It was cross sectional study; method non-probability convenient sampling used to collect data 503 subjects, Jeddah city...

The perigeniculate nucleus of carnivores is thought to be a part of the thalamic reticular nucleus related to visual centers of the thalamus. Physiological studies show that perigeniculate neurons, which are primarily GABAergic, provide feedback inhibition onto neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus. However, little is known about the anatomical organization of this feedback pathway. To addr...

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is known to play a role in experience-dependent plasticity of the developing visual cortex. For example, BDNF acutely enhances long-term potentiation and blocks long-term depression in the visual cortex of young rats. Such acute actions of BDNF suggested to be mediated mainly through presynaptic mechanisms. A chronic application of BDNF to the visual cor...

We developed a manual including a checklist format for undertaking measures to prevent fatigue in visual display terminals (VDT) workers. With this manual, problems related to VDT work can be recognized by using checklists which allow for self-evaluation by the workers. The manual helps the workers to consider measures for improvement by themselves and will contribute to better occupational hea...

Keep an eye out for eye fatigue symptoms Computer-related vision symptoms such as eye fatigue have some common causes that should not be ignored. Visual display Terminals (VDTs) cause symptoms such as eyestrain, visual discomfort, and visual fatigue (Murata et al., 1996). Detecting the likely diagnosis and treating the cause can result in improving performance of the user and lowering the risk ...
