This is the second half of the moderator's (Dr. Dominick Maino) presentation for the Simulated 3D Symposium held this October in Orlando, Fl for the College of Optometrists in Vision Development Annual meeting.
After the Jump > Jamie Neely: Prototyping web typography.Sullivan
Web designers are looking for a smarter and more creative workflow to meet the demands of an increasingly complex digital world. Consciousness is turning to content, and therefore typography as the starting point for the design process. But type online is tricky: it has to look good AND behave well. This has lead to a trend of setting type for the web as a working prototype from the very start of a digital project, and developing a branded experience outwards from that key ingredient: readability.
Jamie Neely was co-founder of Front, a web strategy, design and technology studio and is also the Creative Director at Typecast, which was recently acquired by Monotype. “We believe that as sites become more responsive, devices proliferate and screens shrink, typographic decisions become even more important and influential on site success.” http://www.typecast.com
The document describes the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 2 (SCAT2), which provides a standardized method for evaluating athletes aged 10 and older who have sustained a concussion. The SCAT2 enables medical professionals to calculate scores for sideline concussion assessment, including the Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) and Maddocks questions. It includes sections to evaluate symptoms, physical signs, balance, coordination, cognitive function, and delayed recall through tests of orientation, immediate and delayed memory.
This document discusses how technology can help optometry students with learning disabilities succeed. It provides examples of software and tools that can assist with memory, listening/reading, and writing challenges. These include note-taking programs, text-to-speech readers, speech-to-text dictation, and tools to aid with spelling and typing. The number of resources continues to grow as more software is developed to support students with learning disabilities.
Diagnosis and Management of Special Populations Part II 2010Dominick Maino
Diagnosis and Management of Special Populations presents the latest in the assessment and treatment of those with physical, cognitive, and behavioral abnormalities. Up to date information concerning the etiology, prevalence/incidence and physical/cognitive findings of individuals with developmental disabilities (Cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, autism, acquired/traumatic brain injury) will be discussed. New diagnostic and treatment techniques are reviewed. The eye care practitioner will be able to confidently provide eye and vision care for those with disability at the end of this presentation.

Featuring the Best of AOA's 2016 Poster Presentations
Saturday, July 2nd 8-10AM
Five of the very best, clinically relevant posters were chosen to be given during the American Optometric Association meeting in Boston in 2016. These posters were chosen by the AOA Poster Committee (Dr. Dominick M. Maino, Chair).
Neuroplasticity and Vision Therapy for Adults; A Case SeriesDominick Maino
This poster was presented at the American Optometric Association's Annual meeting in Boston, MA 06/2016
The bottom line:
The visual cortex has the capacity for experience dependent change (neuroplasticity) throughout life. Unfortunately, when it comes to the adult with binocular vision problems, this is not always recognized as being true even though there is strong clinical evidence to suggest a high level of adult neuroplasticity. Current research shows that adults tend to have numerous anomalies associated with the binocular vision system especially within certain populations. This case series demonstrates how those even approaching 70 years of age can benefit from optometric vision therapy.
The document discusses the disadvantages of 3D cinema compared to 2D. It states that 3D is antithetical to storytelling as it constantly reminds viewers that they are watching a screen and prevents emotional involvement. While 2D does not reveal the techniques of filmmaking in the same way. 3D tries to mimic human vision but natural vision does not resemble the 3D cinema experience. The document argues that 2D is better suited for storytelling and immersion compared to 3D.

In this paper we demonstrate a quantitative analysis that 3D productions have stronger and longer lasting effects on revenues and earnings, have the potential to complement the producer’s vision of the story, intrinsically attracting higher audiences than a 2D production.
The continuing development of digital media technology has significant impacts on both media institutions and audiences. For institutions, new technologies have changed production, distribution and exhibition processes, allowing the use of advanced visual effects and new marketing avenues through social media. However, technological changes require large investments which present financial risks if profits are not achieved. Audiences have generally responded positively to improved quality but are mixed toward 3D/4D formats due to issues like increased ticket prices and potential sickness.

This document discusses how digital technology and streaming services have impacted the film industry. Younger generations now rely on social media for information and are less likely to go to theaters. Films need strong online marketing through social media to build awareness. Streaming services are also taking over as audiences prefer watching from home. While streaming reduces piracy, it cuts into theater revenue. The industry also struggles with overuse of sequels and lack of original films, as well as issues with spoilers online.
The document discusses 3D films, how they work using stereoscopic vision, and some of the technical challenges. It notes that 3D films became very successful in the 2000s, particularly Avatar. However, many subsequent 3D films did not provide the same effect and seemed to be mainly a way for the film industry to make more money. Many viewers now prefer 2D films over 3D films due to issues like higher prices, blurriness, and headaches. The conclusion is that while 3D started out for artistic reasons, it has now lost its purpose and is primarily a money-making gimmick for films that do not include significant special effects.
The document discusses 3D films and whether their use is for artistic reasons or as a money-making gimmick. It provides details on what 3D film is, noting the technical challenges. Several successful early 3D films are listed, mainly aimed at and loved by kids. However, many films later used 3D without providing the same effect, seen as a way to make more money. Viewers often complained about 3D glasses, prices, blurriness and headaches, preferring 2D. The conclusion is that while 3D started for artistic reasons, it has lost purpose and is now just a way to make more money for most films that don't include significant special effects to justify the higher cost of 3D.
This document discusses 3D technology reaching a tipping point in various industries such as television, movies, and healthcare. It provides examples of 3D technologies from 1844 to present day, including early 3D movies from the 1950s and current/future 3D movies. The document also discusses 3D television history, 3D education projects, 3D video games, 3D glasses technology including active and passive types, autostereoscopic displays, and the Nintendo 3DS. In addition, it addresses the concept of "3D Vision Syndrome" including symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and a case example of a patient undergoing optometric vision therapy.
Virtual 3D technologies have reached a tipping point in recent years. 3D is now being used in various areas including movies, television, video games, education, and medical imaging. While 3D provides an immersive experience, prolonged 3D viewing can cause vision problems collectively known as 3D vision syndrome. The symptoms of 3D vision syndrome include headaches, eyestrain, blurred vision, and double vision. It is diagnosed through a comprehensive eye exam and binocular vision testing. Treatment involves prescribing glasses, vision therapy exercises to improve binocular function, and taking breaks when viewing 3D content. A case study describes one patient's experience with 3D vision syndrome and successful treatment through optometric vision therapy.
UK cinema admissions declined sharply from 1 billion in the mid-20th century to around 300 million by 2013, despite technological advances like 3D and 4D movies. People aged 15-24 attended cinemas most frequently, while those aged 7-14 attended less due to access issues and older ratings of popular genres like comedy. While cinemas remain a primary way to watch films, rising alternatives like Netflix have cut cinema visits as home viewing is cheaper and more convenient. However, children's films like Despicable Me 2 and Frozen were hugely popular blockbusters, showing kids' influence over box office success.
1) Technology in film and TV has changed significantly, particularly with the rise of 3D cinema after Avatar, online streaming services like Netflix, and improvements in camera quality.
2) 3D cinema provides audiences a more immersive viewing experience but can cause eye strain, while producers aim to increase profits from 3D showings. However, 3D may just be a passing fad.
3) Online streaming through services like Netflix has greatly increased accessibility of films and popularity of streaming, benefiting both audiences and producers. However, it relies on internet access.
4) Camera technology has significantly reduced in size while improving image quality up to 8K resolution, providing audiences highly immersive viewing and benef
3D Vision Syndrome:A Technologically Induced Visual ImpairmentDominick Maino
This document discusses 3D vision syndrome, a condition characterized by symptoms like headaches, blurred vision, and dizziness that can occur when viewing 3D technology. It presents the case of a 27-year-old female patient who experienced these symptoms when watching a 3D movie. Her exam found convergence insufficiency and accommodative dysfunction. She underwent 8 optometric vision therapy sessions over 3 months using various binocular vision exercises, which improved her symptoms and findings on re-evaluation. The document emphasizes that 3D vision syndrome is a real condition and outlines how it can be diagnosed and treated.
The document discusses the rise of streaming services and how it has impacted movie theaters and the film industry. With COVID-19 forcing studios to release films straight to streaming, and consumers growing accustomed to watching content at home, streaming has become increasingly popular while theater attendance has declined. Some experts predict theaters will become obsolete as streaming takes over, while others believe theaters can still have a place if a balance is found between streaming and theatrical releases. Finding the right balance between the two will be important for the future of both theaters and the film industry.

World War Z is a 2013 zombie action film directed by Marc Forster. It tells the story of a former UN investigator, Gerry Lane, who must travel the world to find the source and cure of a virus that is turning people into zombies. The film was produced through the collaboration of several smaller independent studios, including Skydance Productions, Hemisphere Media Capital, GK films, Plan B Entertainment and 2DUK. Paramount Pictures distributed the widely successful $190 million film, which went on to earn $540 million at the global box office.
The document discusses trends in media consumption among young people and how they relate to Working Title Films. It notes that young people have short attention spans unless something grabs them instantly, and they prefer instant gratification over slow narratives. They also tend to watch media alone on personal devices and are used to amateur visual styles from YouTube. As a result, young people may find films too long and passive compared to other media. The document asks the reader to reflect on which Working Title films they have seen and how, and whether those films seem intended for their demographic.
The document discusses the results of a survey about film viewing habits. The majority of respondents were male, around the age the film was targeting, and from a diverse range of ethnicities. Horror and comedy were the most popular genres, while historical films were most disliked. Popular films seen recently included Avatar, Shutter Island, and Clash of the Titans. Most people visit the cinema once a month but watch films online, with trailers and famous casts influencing viewing decisions. Few buy DVDs but also few illegally download, instead watching films online without paying.
Film production involves three stages - pre-production, production, and post-production. Distribution is also key, as without it, films would not reach audiences. Hollywood blockbusters have advantages over independent films at all stages due to larger budgets, which allow for fancier cameras, special effects, and marketing across multiple platforms. However, lower-budget independents like Monsters can still find success through cheaper methods like mobile editing and social media marketing. Distribution is constantly evolving due to new technologies like digital projectors and Blu-ray discs, but challenges like piracy remain.
Media presentation characters and questionnaire (mohid ali) (upload to blog...QPR
The document provides information about common tropes and character types found in horror movies. It describes the "final girl" character who survives to the end of the movie. It also discusses the villainous "monsters" and "killers" who murder victims. Additionally, it outlines the frequent presence of "groups of friends" who get killed one by one, as well as wise "benefactors" who provide advice. "Ineffective characters" are also mentioned as minor characters sometimes mistaken for villains.
1) The document discusses different forms of media censorship for films, TV, video games, music, and the internet. It explores the strategies used by regulators and debates around their effectiveness.
2) Video games often receive age ratings but some are refused classification if found too violent. Younger players can still access restricted games through older friends or fake IDs.
3) Films are also rated for age-appropriateness based on themes of violence, language, nudity etc. but loopholes allow children to view restricted films in cinemas.
Aging Oxidative Stress and Dietary OxidantsDominick Maino
This book review summarizes the text "Aging: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants" which discusses how oxidative stress impacts the aging process and various age-related diseases. It contains 29 chapters authored by 82 contributors exploring topics like the role of antioxidants in reducing frailty, supporting cardiovascular health and preventing Alzheimer's disease. The review highlights how certain foods, herbs, spices and supplements can potentially slow aging by decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation. While technical at times, the book's diagrams and photographs help explain complex topics for readers without extensive scientific backgrounds. The reviewer recommends it for anyone wanting to better understand senior health and the science behind antioxidants.

Cerebral Palsy is a motor disability appearing in early life due to brain damage. It has a prevalence of 1-4 per 1000 live births. Etiologies include prenatal, perinatal and postnatal insults. It is classified as spastic, dyskinetic or ataxic. Visual characteristics include refractive errors like hyperopia, strabismus in over 10% of cases, and reduced accommodation. Down Syndrome is a genetic condition caused by trisomy 21. Its prevalence is about 1 in 700 live births. Physical characteristics include low muscle tone, a flat facial profile, and health issues such as congenital heart defects and hearing loss.
My students and I wrote several translations of how to conduct an eye examination (mostly my students since my language skills are not very good!). I know there are many ways, and perhaps better ways to ask these questions, but this could be a starting point. Feel free to adapt this to your needs and to make this even better. Please share when you do.

Writing the Perfect Poster Abstract in 20 Minutes or LessDominick Maino
One of the easiest ways to begin your publishing career is to present a poster during one of the many annual meetings held by professional optometry. These meetings include but are not limited to the College of Optometrists in Vision Development, American Academy of Optometry and the American Optometric Association. This presentation reviews the step by step process involved in writing an abstract that will be accepted for presentation by these and other organizations most of the time. Once the abstract is written, you are one third of the way to making a significant contribution to the optometric literature. The other two thirds include, creating the poster and writing the final paper to be submitted to an appropriate journal for publication (the last two topics will be addressed at other meetings and/or within future VDR articles). You are encouraged to bring information for a case report and/or case series that you wish to use for a poster in the future.

Conclusion
It is time for all to put aside our agendas,
our biases, our preconceived notions. It is time
to work together to determine best practices
even if it is contrary to prevailing opinion. The
world is not flat. Amblyopia can be treated at
any age. And optometric vision therapy is an
appropriate treatment modality for disorders of
he binocular vision system.
Dr. Dominick Maino Quoted in AOAFocus Article: Wearable WonderDominick Maino
".....Dominick M Maino, O.D., M.Ed., FAAO, FCOVD-A, professor of pediatrics and binocular vision at the Illinois College of Optometry and private practitioner at Lyons Family Eye Care in Chicago, imagines a world in which people with dementia wear unobtrusive GPS devices that allow family members to easily track them if they leave the safety of their homes. Or, he imagines Google Contacts, which are being designed to monitor blood glucose levels, working seamlessly with insulin pumps, so one's blood sugar never veers out of healthy range. The possibilities are endless. Already, engineers are developing bracelets for the hearing impaired that can translate hand movements into words. For optometrists such as Dr. Maino, who see a great number of patients with disabilities, such technology could be quite useful.
"In the not-too-distant future—probably in my lifetime—both in terms of prevention and monitoring of health, we will probably all be wearing one or more devices that talk to each other," Dr. Maino says. "But right now, much of this is in the development stage or just vaporware."...."
This document discusses pediatric cortical visual impairment (PCVI). It begins by defining PCVI and exploring its history. PCVI is caused by injury to the brain rather than the eyes. The document then examines diagnostic approaches for PCVI, including assessing visual acuity, refractive error, oculomotor function, and more. It also discusses functional vision anomalies that can occur with PCVI like amblyopia. The document concludes by outlining treatment approaches for PCVI like using glasses, vision therapy, and modifying the home environment to encourage visual stimulation.
The skin is the largest organ and its health plays a vital role among the other sense organs. The skin concerns like acne breakout, psoriasis, or anything similar along the lines, finding a qualified and experienced dermatologist becomes paramount.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

3D Cinema: Future Or Fad?
http://www.raindance.org/3d‐cinema‐future‐or‐fad/
….3D has been very consistent over the last 4 years, so at the moment it seems that it is
going to stick around for a few years at least. Studios just make too much money from
new releases and re‐releases to stop it simply because of some peoples opinions. For me,
3D can continue to be shown in cinemas just as long as the option for a 2D alternative still
exists…..

3D in 2013: Exhibitors project on the future of stereoscopic cinema
…From 2009 to 2010, the amount of box office from 3D films doubled, rising from $1.1
billion of the U.S./Canada box office to $2.2 billion, according to MPAA‐reported figures.
The industry was riding high, and studios rushed to release movies either filmed in or
converted to 3D. But the very next year, instead of continuing its meteoric rise, 3D box
office declined 20%, to a total of $1.8 billion. As initial interest in the format waned,
Hollywood was still ramping up its 3D product, leading to a situation where supply rose as
demand weakened…..

New tech could mean 3D movies with no glasses
http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/21/tech/innovation/3d‐movies‐no‐glasses/index.html
The new method would allow movie theaters to keep their projectors where they've always
been, behind the audience, and uses fairly simple optical technology. A special array sits in
front of the projector and polarizes its light. A filter covering the screen then obscures
different vertical regions of the screen, like the slats of venetian blinds. Each of your eyes,
sitting at a slightly different angle, has some of the screen blocked and some of the screen
visible. The movie has the right‐eye and left‐eye images interleaved in vertical columns with
one another. The trick then is to have the light visible to your left eye contain the left‐eye
pixels and vice versa for the right eye.
No‐glasses 3‐D movie theaters are getting closer to reality

3D TV is dead
ExtremeTech http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/145168‐3d‐tv‐is‐dead
At CES 2012, you couldn’t move for 3D TVs, ugly polarizing spectacles, and — because the
viewer at home can’t take part in the awesomeness that is 3D — those awful, it’s‐so‐real‐it’s‐
bursting‐out‐of‐the‐screen posters …. At IFA — the big, mid‐year consumer electronics event
in Berlin — it was clear that 3D TV was on its way out. Today, at CES 2013, 3D TV is dead…..
IFA: Move over 3D, it’s time for 4K UHDTV
http://www.extremetech.com/electronics/135327‐ifa‐move‐over‐3d‐its‐time‐for‐4k‐uhdtv
After five years of trying to convince us that 3D TVs are the future, it seems TV makers are
finally ready to move on — to 4K UHDTV. At the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin,
Sony, Toshiba, and LG are all showing off 84‐inch 4K (3840×2160) TVs. These aren’t just
vaporware, either: LG’s TV is on sale now in Korea (and later this month in the US), Sony’s is
due later this year, and Toshiba will follow in the new year….
