  • Blood splashes to the masks and Goggles during caesarean section
    BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1997
    Co-Authors: J. B. Sharma, S. Ekoh, Leonard Mcmillan, S Hussain, H. Annan
    Abstract:

    A prospective study was performed of 100 caesarean sections (31\nelective, 69 emergency) to determine the incidence of blood splashes to\nthe masks and Goggles of surgeons, assistants and scrub nurses. The rate\nof blood splashes was 40% on surgeons' masks, 49.29% on surgeons'\nGoggles, 31% on assistants' masks, 21.12% on assistants' Goggles,\n23.1% on scrub nurses' masks and 15.71% on scrub nurses' Goggles. The\nuse of masks and protective Goggles is strongly recommended to avoid\nbody fluid contamination and acquiring disease in obstetrics.

  • dark Goggles and bright light improve circadian rhythm adaptation to night shift work
    Sleep, 1994
    Co-Authors: Charmane I Eastman, Karen T Stewart, Michael P Mahoney, Louis Fogg
    Abstract:

    : We compared the contributions of bright light during the night shift and dark Goggles during daylight for phase shifting the circadian rhythm of temperature to realign with a 12-hour shift of sleep. After 10 baseline days there were 8 night-work/day-sleep days. Temperature was continuously recorded from 50 subjects. There were four groups in a 2 x 2 design: light (bright, dim), Goggles (yes, no). Subjects were exposed to bright light (about 5,000 lux) for 6 hours on the first 2 night shifts. Dim light was < 500 lux. Both bright light and Goggles were significant factors for producing circadian rhythm phase shifts. The combination of bright light plus Goggles was the most effective, whereas the combination of dim light and no Goggles was the least effective. The temperature rhythm either phase advanced or phase delayed when it aligned with daytime sleep. However, when subjects did not have Goggles only phase advances occurred. Goggles were necessary for producing phase delays. The most likely explanation is that daylight during the travel-home window after a night shift inhibits phase-delay shifts, and Goggles can prevent this inhibition. Larger temperature-rhythm phase shifts were associated with better subjective daytime sleep, less subjective fatigue and better mood.

  • stereoscopic rendering via Goggles elicits higher functional connectivity during virtual reality gaming
    Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
    Co-Authors: Caroline Garcia Forlim, Lukas Bittner, Fariba Mostajeran, Frank Steinicke, Jurgen Gallinat, Simone Kuhn
    Abstract:

    : Virtual reality (VR) simulates real-world scenarios by creating a sense of presence in its users. Such immersive scenarios lead to behavior that is more similar to that displayed in real world settings, which may facilitate the transfer of knowledge and skills acquired in VR to similar real world situations. VR has already been used in education, psychotherapy, rehabilitation and it comes as an appealing choice for training intervention purposes. The aim of the present study was to investigate to what extent VR technology for games presented via Goggles can be used in a magnetic resonance imaging scanner (MRI), addressing the question of whether brain connectivity differs between VR stimulation via Goggles and a presentation from a screen via mirror projection. Moreover, we wanted to investigate whether stereoscopic goggle stimulation, where both eyes receive different visual input, would elicit stronger brain connectivity than a stimulation in which both eyes receive the same visual input (monoscopic). To our knowledge, there is no previous research using games and functional connectivity (FC) in MRI to address this question. Multiple analyses approaches were taken so that different aspects of brain connectivity could be covered: fractional low-frequency fluctuation, independent component analysis (ICA), seed-based FC (SeedFC) and graph analysis. In goggle presentation (mono and stereoscopic) as contrasted to screen, we found differences in brain activation in left cerebellum and postcentral gyrus as well as differences in connectivity in the visual cortex and frontal inferior cortex [when focusing on the visual and default mode network (DMN)]. When considering connectivity in specific areas of interest, we found higher connectivity between bilateral superior frontal cortex and the temporal lobe, as well as bilateral inferior parietal cortex with right calcarine and right lingual cortex. Furthermore, we found superior frontal cortex and insula/putamen to be more strongly connected in goggle stereoscopic vs. goggle monoscopic, in line with our hypothesis. We assume that the condition that elicits higher brain connectivity values should be most suited for long-term brain training interventions given that, extended training under these conditions could permanently improve brain connectivity on a functional as well as on a structural level.
