Effects of Auditory and Visual White Noise on Oculomotor Inhibition in Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Protocol for a Crossover Study

Effects of Auditory and Visual White Noise on Oculomotor Inhibition in Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Protocol for a Crossover Study

This study aims at comparing the effects of auditory and visual noise stimulation during 2 visual attention tasks. This study will be the first to investigate the effects of visual white pixel noise stimulation on children with ADHD, while the study will add to the research on auditory white noise stimulation by using a new assessment method in relation to noise stimulation.

Dermoscopy Differential Diagnosis Explorer (D3X) Ontology to Aggregate and Link Dermoscopic Patterns to Differential Diagnoses: Development and Usability Study

Dermoscopy Differential Diagnosis Explorer (D3X) Ontology to Aggregate and Link Dermoscopic Patterns to Differential Diagnoses: Development and Usability Study

The dermoscopy elements of visuals ontology (DEVO) then applied the visual features described in EVO to dermoscopic terminology [27]. For instance, DEVO characterizes dermoscopic metaphoric terms such as “shiny white streaks” and “leaflike areas” by shapes, colors, and textures, along with other features involved.

Eye Care Service Use and Associated Health-Seeking Behaviors Among Malawian Adults: Secondary Analysis of the Malawi Fifth Integrated Household Survey 2019-2020

Life, health, and sustainable development depend on good ocular health, yet many people cannot afford the eye care they need, which can result in blindness or visual impairment [1,2]. Approximately, 90% of the 596 million individuals with visual impairments globally in 2020 lived in low-income nations [3,4]. Access, eye care use (ECU), and poverty are all directly correlated with the prevalence of visual impairment [2]. According to the literature [5], poverty is a direct cause and effect of blindness.

Using Smartphones to Enhance Vision Screening in Rural Areas: Pilot Study

Using Smartphones to Enhance Vision Screening in Rural Areas: Pilot Study

Visual impairment impacts individuals’ ability to participate in activities of daily living and social integration, disrupting their quality of life and health. To mitigate the impact of visual impairment, regular eye exams are important. However, regular eye exams are still a luxury for many people for various reasons that lead to limited access to eye care. For instance, in sub-Saharan Africa, there are only 2 ophthalmologists per million people, while the global mean is 32.

Assessing the Utility of Multimodal Large Language Models (GPT-4 Vision and Large Language and Vision Assistant) in Identifying Melanoma Across Different Skin Tones

Assessing the Utility of Multimodal Large Language Models (GPT-4 Vision and Large Language and Vision Assistant) in Identifying Melanoma Across Different Skin Tones

Multimodal LLMs with visual understanding, such as GPT-4 Vision (GPT-4 V) [4] and Large Language and Vision Assistant (LLa VA) [5], can also analyze images, videos, and speech, a significant evolution. They can solve novel, intricate tasks that language-only systems cannot, due to their unique capabilities combining language and vision with inherent intelligence and reasoning [4,5].

mHealth Technology Experiences of Middle-Aged and Older Individuals With Visual Impairments: Cross-Sectional Interview Study

mHealth Technology Experiences of Middle-Aged and Older Individuals With Visual Impairments: Cross-Sectional Interview Study

Visual impairment is a permanent reduction in visual capabilities that affects task performance and cannot be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or medical interventions [1]. Due to the normal aging process, as well as congenital disabilities, accidents, or ophthalmological conditions, individuals can experience a decline in near visual acuity and visual field [2].

Assessing the Effect of Nonvisual Information Factors in Pandemic-Related Video Communication: Randomized Controlled Between-Subjects Experiment

Assessing the Effect of Nonvisual Information Factors in Pandemic-Related Video Communication: Randomized Controlled Between-Subjects Experiment

While the importance of visual and creative means in reach was demonstrated for COVID-19 pandemic–related videos [3], there was less evidence regarding nonvisual elements. This study demonstrates the effects of various nonvisual information factors on 4 different outcomes of pandemic video communication: trust, comprehension, intention, and behavior.
