BACKGROUND The Humphrey field analyser (HFA), Humphrey-Zeiss frequency doubling perimeter, and the Medmont automated perimeter (MAP) are three commonly used automated perimeters with threshold achromatic methodologies. Visual field loss may be detected earlier with strategies that target cell lines with reduced redundancy or which suffer selective damage. METHOD To compare these three perimet...

PURPOSE We used the Swedish interactive threshold algorithms (SITA) standard strategy of Humphrey perimetry, to analyze the pattern of visual field (VF) defects and evaluate the quantitative correlation between the tumor volume and severity of VF defects in patients with pituitary macroadenoma. METHODS We reviewed 50 patients with pituitary macroadenoma who received VF test and 11 patients we...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the order of eye testing affects the mean deviation (MD) or the test reliability of visual field testing using the Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm (SITA) standard 24-2. METHODS Consecutive patients with manifest or suspect glaucoma with 2 prior sets of SITA standard 24-2 test results performed on the right eye first were enrolled. A subsequent test was pe...

PURPOSE The mean defect (MD) of the visual field is a global statistical index used to monitor overall visual field change over time. Our goal was to investigate the relationship of MD and its variability for two clinically used strategies (Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm [SITA] standard size III and full threshold size V) in glaucoma patients and controls. METHODS We tested one eye, ...

Studies indicate that diabetics are more likely to develop cancer, especially of the pancreas or colon, or hepatocellular carcinoma. Tumor genesis is promoted by high insulin and glucose levels pancreas, in T2DM (Saito et al., 2013; Zheng et al., 2013; Wang et al., 2015). Metformin, a commonly used drug for T2DM, reduces the incidence of various types of neoplasm. However, much less is known ab...

PURPOSE To compare sensitivity and specificity of achromatic perimetry with size I stimulus (WW-I) with standard automated perimetry (SITA strategy) and blue on yellow perimetry (SWAP) for early diagnosis of glaucoma. METHODS Seventy-three eyes of 73 suspects, glaucomatous and normal subjects underwent automated perimetry with SITA 24-2, WW-I and SWAP. After application of specific criteria o...

This paper proposes the use of a Swarm Intelligence based approach (SITA) for Task Allocation and scheduling in a dynamically reconfigurable environment such as the computational Grid. SITA is a massively distributed task allocation algorithm that draws inspiration from the hugely efficient foraging and food hunting paradigm of ants. We employ the ant colony optimization (ACO), a population bas...

Cryptocurrency is a type of virtual currency that works similarly to real money and enables users virtually send payments for transactions involving business. With the development crypto assets today, several pawn loan institutions accept as collateral objects. In case pawning, default can also occur which requires from debtor be confiscated in event default. The purpose this study determine le...
