This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to see deeply affects how human beings perceive and interpret the world around them. For most people, eyesight is part of everyday communication, social activities, educational and professional pursuits, the care of others, and the maintenance of personal health, independence, and mobility. Functioning eyes and vision system can reduce an adult's risk of chronic health conditions, death, falls and injuries, social isolation, depression, and other psychological problems. In children, properly maintained eye and vision health contributes to a child's social development, academic achievement, and better health across the lifespan. The public generally recognizes its reliance on sight and fears its loss, but emphasis on eye and vision health, in general, has not been integrated into daily life to the same extent as other health promotion activities, such as teeth brushing; hand washing; physical and mental exercise; and various injury prevention behaviors. A larger population health approach is needed to engage a wide range of stakeholders in coordinated efforts that can sustain the scope of behavior change. The shaping of socioeconomic environments can eventually lead to new social norms that promote eye and vision health. Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative: Vision for Tomorrow proposes a new population-centered framework to guide action and coordination among various, and sometimes competing, stakeholders in pursuit of improved eye and vision health and health equity in the United States. Building on the momentum of previous public health efforts, this report also introduces a model for action that highlights different levels of prevention activities across a range of stakeholders and provides specific examples of how population health strategies can be translated into cohesive areas for action at federal, state, and local levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not only are our eyes important markers of our general health, but they are also frequently referred to as the windows to our souls. We may not always think about how stress affects our eyes, even if we are aware of the negative effects it can have on our physical and mental health. However, there is a strong and sometimes disregarded link between stress and eye health. In the fast-paced world of today, stress has become a common occurrence in many people's everyday lives. Stress may come in many forms and affect our body in many ways, including the eyes. Examples of this include impending deadlines and personal demands. Comprehending the impact of stress on our ocular health is vital for preserving ideal eye well-being and general wellbeing. We'll examine the complex connection between stress and our eyes in this investigation. We'll learn how stress can affect our eyesight, aggravate pre-existing eye issues, and cause ocular discomfort. Our goal in bringing attention to this frequently overlooked facet of stress management is to enable people to make eye health a top priority even in the face of life's obstacles. The Relationship Between Eye Health and Stress There is a complicated and multidimensional relationship between stress and eye health. Stress has a major impact on our mental and emotional health, but it can also have a variety of effects on the eyes and visual system.

Download or read book Magnesium in the Central Nervous System written by Robert Vink and published by University of Adelaide Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brain is the most complex organ in our body. Indeed, it is perhaps the most complex structure we have ever encountered in nature. Both structurally and functionally, there are many peculiarities that differentiate the brain from all other organs. The brain is our connection to the world around us and by governing nervous system and higher function, any disturbance induces severe neurological and psychiatric disorders that can have a devastating effect on quality of life. Our understanding of the physiology and biochemistry of the brain has improved dramatically in the last two decades. In particular, the critical role of cations, including magnesium, has become evident, even if incompletely understood at a mechanistic level. The exact role and regulation of magnesium, in particular, remains elusive, largely because intracellular levels are so difficult to routinely quantify. Nonetheless, the importance of magnesium to normal central nervous system activity is self-evident given the complicated homeostatic mechanisms that maintain the concentration of this cation within strict limits essential for normal physiology and metabolism. There is also considerable accumulating evidence to suggest alterations to some brain functions in both normal and pathological conditions may be linked to alterations in local magnesium concentration. This book, containing chapters written by some of the foremost experts in the field of magnesium research, brings together the latest in experimental and clinical magnesium research as it relates to the central nervous system. It offers a complete and updated view of magnesiums involvement in central nervous system function and in so doing, brings together two main pillars of contemporary neuroscience research, namely providing an explanation for the molecular mechanisms involved in brain function, and emphasizing the connections between the molecular changes and behavior. It is the untiring efforts of those magnesium researchers who have dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of magnesiums role in biological systems that has inspired the collation of this volume of work.

Download or read book Emergent Techniques for Assessment of Visual Performance written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent vision research has led to the emergence of new techniques that offer exciting potential for a more complete assessment of vision in clinical, industrial, and military settings. Emergent Techniques for Assessment of Visual Performance examines four areas of vision testing that offer potential for improved assessment of visual capability including: contrast sensitivity function, dark-focus of accommodation, dynamic visual acuity and dynamic depth tracking, and ambient and focal vision. In contrast to studies of accepted practices, this report focuses on emerging techniques that could help determine whether people have the vision necessary to do their jobs. In addition to examining some of these emerging techniques, the report identifies their usefulness in predicting performance on other visual and visual-motor tasks, and makes recommendations for future research. Emergent Techniques for Assessment of Visual Performance provides summary recommendations for research that will have significant value and policy implications for the next 5 to 10 years. The content and conclusions of this report can serve as a useful resource for those responsible for screening industrial and military visual function.
Download or read book The Impact of Stress on Visual Function in Nystagmus written by Philip Hugh Jones and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infantile Nystagmus Syndrome (INS) is defined as a constant involuntary movement of the eyes, affecting 0.12% of the population. Previous research shows that eye movements in patients with nystagmus increase in stressful conditions, and they report that their vision gets worse. However, there have been no definitive conclusions as to the effect of stress on visual acuity (VA). The aim of the studies described here was to assess visual function, including VA, during periods of stress. The results showed that there was no difference in VA measured with horizontally and vertically oriented Landolt C's, but, in agreement with published research, VA was found to be poorer when using vertically oriented gratings as compared to horizontal gratings. Using a Trans-Cutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) machine, an effective clinical stressor, we confirmed that the intensity of nystagmus increased when under stress; however VA, as measured using Landolt Cs, was not affected. Patient response time also increased during stressful periods and was significantly longer in INS than in control subjects. Using a questionnaire, we identified the most stressful situations for patients with nystagmus as being: "finding a person in a crowd" and "crossing a road in heavy traffic". Under stress, rather than vision becoming blurred, patients with nystagmus reported that they "take longer to see things" and "have difficulty with seeing facial features and small detail". The results reported here have important implications for patients with nystagmus in the real world, strongly suggesting that, although maximum acuity is unaffected by stress, more time should be allowed for tasks at both work and school. Further research is required to fully understand the changes in other aspects of visual function with stress.
