Abstract The presence of natural organic matter such as humic acid (HA) can influence the behavior of graphene oxide (GO) in the aquatic environment. In this study, zebrafish embryos were analyzed after 5 and 7 days of exposure to GO (100 mg L−1) and HA (20 mg L−1) alone or together. The results indicated that, regardless of the presence of HA, larvae exposed to GO for 5 days showed an increase in locomotor activity, reduction in the yolk sac size, and total length and inhibition...

Hi there, I am a high school student and have recently began learning python in a digital solutions class. We have been using a site called Grok Learning, following the introduction to python course. The module I am currently working on regards strings and slicing strings, however, was not explained very well and other classmates, the teacher and other resources fail to clarify it in a way I understand. My question regards an exercise where we had to decode a message by selecting every 3rd letter...

Abstract Conventional algorithms for selecting study designs are difficult to use for a novice researcher, especially the postgraduate students. An inherent limitation of using the existing algorithms is the requirement of a priori knowledge of the characteristics of various study designs. We propose a simple and novel 3-question approach to select study designs. The questions are asked in a stepwise manner with answers in ‘yes’ or ‘no’. The responses to each of these questions...

Abstract This questionnaire study on 400 school children found that severe psychological distress using the K 10 scale was seen in 38 (9.5%), and 162 (40.5%) had less than 2 hours of leisure time daily. The prevalence of severe distress was lower in children who had daily time with parents and daily leisure time.

Abstract There is a large child work force in India reported to be about 40 million. Child labor is being regarded as a form of modern slavery, as children are forced to work or have no choice to refuse work. Children are employed in a variety of occupations, many of which are hazardous. Exposure to machinery, pesticides, dust in agricultural work and fumes, chemicals, acids, cotton and wool fiber in other forms of work is detrimental to health. A large number are held in bonded...

Abstract This study focused on the research of lung lesions in sheep slaughtered in the slaughterhouse of Batna city (Eastern Algeria). The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of lung lesions during the period from March to September 2013. Macroscopic examination was performed at the slaughterhouse to determine lung lesions and to take samples from injured lung areas for microscopic examination of anatomo-pathological lesions. Among 7420 inspected sheep, 2722...

The ICL is obviously rotating. The most important information, the anatomy behind the iris, regarding ICL (haptic and footplate) positioning and ICL sizing, is needed. Very high frequency digital ultrasound scanning of the posterior chamber and delineation of the anatomical markers is now essential. Otherwise, the clinician continues to go in blindly each time, risking endothelial cell loss and cataract formation in a young patient. Rotating is possible, but publications have shown that the largest...

I believe that the blurry vision accompanied with diplopia was caused by residual astigmatism after the toric ICL implantation. The residual astigmatism is estimated to result from the misalignment and insufficient degree of astigmatic correction (astigmatic correction of toric ICL up to 6.0 D). Simultaneously, the ICL was repositioned three times because of rotation. If a lens is too small, rotation becomes a concern in toric ICLs. However, it is difficult to imagine that the cause of rotation was...

We would first rule out underlying pathology such as retinal or macular diseases, strabismus, or a cortical lesion causing diplopia. Once those etiologies are excluded, we would assume this case to be monocular diplopia in the left eye.

Toric ICL is a safe and effective alternative for astigmatism correction with a good rotational stability1; however, it is well known that its diameter calculation could be problematic and could lead to vault-related complications, more importantly, in keratoconus cases. This occurs because sulcus-to-sulcus (STS) and white-to-white (WTW) measurements do not always have a predictable and reliable correlation and different devices have important WTW measurement variability.2

The blurry vision and diplopia are most likely attributable to corneal irregularities secondary to the keratoconus. Although the toric ICL might improve the regular astigmatic component, assuming it will stay in the correct axis, it does nothing to improve higher-order aberrations (HOAs).
