Psychological detachment from work refers to the off-job experience of "switching off" mentally. It is hypothesized that a high degree of workload encountered during the work day has a negative impact on subsequent detachment processes and that psychological detachment from work is positively related to well-being. Eighty-seven individuals from various occupations provided questionnaire and dai...

Abstract This study focuses on two types of heavy work investment, namely workaholism and engagement, psychological detachment from work. Both engagement refer to an intense effort, yet with a different impact personal life. Building Stressor–Detachment Model (SDM), we examine how levels workaholism, influence outcomes related employees’ well-being (i.e., perceived health, negative affectivity,...

Prevention of microbial adhesion and detachment of adhering microorganisms from surfaces is important in many environmental, industrial, and medical applications. Fluid shear is an obvious parameter for stimulating microbial detachment from surfaces, but recently it has been pointed out that a passing air-liquid interface also has potential in stimulating microbial detachment. In the present st...

We present a case of retinitis pigmentosa with vitreoretinal traction-associated retinal detachment. The retinal detachment was detected in the nasal periphery. No retinal breaks and no active vascular leakage were observed by fundus scopy and fluorescein angiography, respectively. However, 8 months later, the tractional retinal detachment was spontaneously resolved with posterior vitreous deta...

OBJECTIVE To document the spontaneous resolution of retinal detachment developing after macular hole surgery. METHODS We identified all patients who developed a postoperative retinal detachment after undergoing macular hole surgery at Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, Mo; the surgery was performed by one of us (L.V.D.P. or H.J.K.) between 1991 and 1996. RESULTS Six of 73 e...

Between 1975 and 1989, 11 eyes were treated for retinal detachments with both peripheral and full thickness macular breaks. Long term retinal reattachment was dependent on successful closure of peripheral retinal breaks. Direct treatment of the macular break was necessary in only one case, which redetached 3 months after vitrectomy. Vitrectomy is not the initial treatment of choice for uncompli...

For a graph G, a detachment operation at a vertex transforms the graph into a new graph by splitting the vertex into several vertices in such a way that the original graph can be obtained by contracting all the split vertices into a single vertex. A graph obtained from a given graph G by applying detachment operations at several vertices is called a detachment of graph G. We consider a detachme...

The relationship between retinal detachment and posterior lens capsule rupture in pseudophakic patients was studied. Records of patients with pseudophakic retinal detachment who were admitted to Siriraj Hospital from 1992 to 2004 were reviewed. The patients were divided into 2 main groups: 1) The study group (pseudophakic retinal detachment) 79 eyes (78 cases) which was subdivided into group 1a...

purpose : evaluating the effects of memantine on visual function after scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rrd) methods : in a double blind prospective randomized clinical trial, 61 patients with clinical diagnosis of less than 4 weeks macula-off rrd who had successful scleral buckle surgery had been selected and divided into two randomized groups. thirty of them received 5 ...
