Digital asthenopia: blue-blocking lenses and + 0,40D additional power in the near zone, for eye strain, accommodation and convergence functions

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 81 (), 2022
ABSTRACT Purpose Evaluate blue-violet light filter and additional power of +0.40 D in the near zone ophthalmic lenses, on convergence, accommodative functions, and symptoms of digital asthenopia (DA). Methods Randomized study in cross-over design conducted on 49 volunteers (age, 29 ± 5.5 years; male...

Calendula officinalis L. flower extract-mediated green synthesis of silver nanoparticles under LED light

Abstract Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are among the most known nanomaterials being used for several purposes, including medical applications. In this study, Calendula officinalis L. flower extract and silver nitrate were used for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles under red, green and blue light-em...

Interrelación entre luz, ciclos circadianos y fisiología

Los ritmos circadianos modulan prácticamente todos los procesos fisiológicos en los mamíferos y estos al estar sincronizados con sus ritmos circadianos garantizan su salud. Obviamente una alteración circadiana puede ser el origen de una amplia gama de enfermedades. La invención de la luz artificial ...

Optimization of the Light-On system in a lentiviral platform to a light-controlled expression of genes in neurons

BACKGROUND: Molecular brain therapies require the development of molecular switches to control gene expression in a limited and regulated manner in time and space. Light-switchable gene systems allow precise control of gene expression with an enhanced spatio-temporal resolution compared to chemical induc...

Estabilidad de color de dientes naturales ante diferentes bebidas: estudio in vitro
Color stability of natural teeth against different drinks: in vitro study

Rev. ADM; 78 (2), 2021
El color es un efecto visual de los rayos de luz reflejándose y su concepto es complejo por ser una sensación que se percibe y por las características electromagnéticas. Los dientes varían espacialmente porque son curvados, tienen prolongaciones relativamente pequeñas y vistas en contra de una vari...

Lentinus crinitus response to blue light on carbohydrate-active enzymes

Biosci. j. (Online); 36 (3), 2020
Fungi are capable of sensing light from ultraviolet to far-red and they use light as a source of information about the environment anticipating stress and adverse conditions. Lentinus crinitus is a lignin-degrading fungus which produces laccase and other enzymes of biotechnological interest. The effect o...

O Tempo vivido em Mrs. Dalloway à Luz da fenomenologia de Merleau-Ponty

Psicol. ciênc. prof; 40 (), 2020
O romance Mrs. Dalloway, escrito pela inglesa Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), é um marco na literatura universal por apresentar um novo formato na arte da escrita intitulado fluxo de consciência. Esta forma estilística visa descrever as falas e os pensamentos dos personagens por meio do discurso indireto ...

Oxidative foliar photo-necrosis produced by the bacteria Pseudomonas cedrina

BACKGROUND: Although bioactive metabolites capable of causing oxidative photo-necrosis in plant tissues have been identified in fungi, little is known about this type of mechanism in bacteria. These metabolites act as photosensitizers that generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) capable of causing damage ...
