Study of the dimensions of the anterior chamber of the human eye. II. Influence of ametropias

peer reviewedFollowing their work on the eminctropc. the authors report on an investigation of 210 amelropes. They conclude that the anterior chamber is shallower in the hvpermetrope. and deeper in the myope, than in the emmet rope. There is a mathematical relationship between the degree of ametropia and the depth of the anterior chamber in uncomplicated cases, but not in complicated myopia, nor in ttni-ocular myopia. There is no relationship between the refractive error and the diameter and curvature of of the cornea. © 1962 S. Karger AG, Basel

peer revieweda) Measurement of the depth of the anterior chamber by a coincidence method will reveal an intumescence of the lens which cannot be seen by biomicroscopy. b) Lenticular intumescence considerably reduces the chance of intracapsular extraction with Arruga's forceps. c) Preoperative measurement of the depth of the a nterior chamber enables one to recognise those cases in which intracapsular extraction with Arruga's forceps is contra-indicated, when recourse must be had to another technique. © 1963 S.

Silicon for prevention, cure and care: A technology toolbox of wearables at the dawn of a new health system

Our increasing life expectancy also implies that many of us will be suffering from one or more chronic illnesses during a larger part of our lives. Medical-grade wearables have the grand promise and the largely untapped potential to become a cornerstone technology in the care cycle. For chronic patients, tools are needed that improve the risk stratification, follow-up and management and are able to monitor disease progression and prevent relapse. Aside from the already existing cardiac rhythm monitoring patches (1), studies with emerging wearable sensors are aim to track congestive heart failure (2), sleep apnea and hypertension. In these care-focused devices, quality of sensing comes first, followed by miniaturization and power autonomy. A massive opportunity for wearable sensing concerns behavior change. Frictionless technology, personalized algorithms/feedback and power autonomy are key requirements for widespread user adoption in this space. cop. 2015 IEEE
