Examining the occupational stress experiences of midwives: A mixed-methods stress audit (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

UK midwives report high levels of workplace stress and nearly 70% are considering leaving the profession (Hunter et al., 2019). Following institutional ethical approval, a concurrent mixed-methods stress audit was conducted to better understand the s...

Accuracy and Precision of Fixation is Correlated with Gaze Angle (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Purpose – In infantile nystagmus, the null zone tends to favour better oculomotor control even when it is eccentric. We investigated whether gaze position affects fixation in typical participants.
Methods – Nine emmetropes fixated vanishing optotype... Read More about Accuracy and Precision of Fixation is Correlated with Gaze Angle.

Mesopic conditions optimise the detection of visual function loss in drivers with simulated media opacity (2022)
Journal Article

Drivers have different visual demands across varying contrast and luminance conditions. However, vision assessments for driving are typically conducted under photopic conditions. This study investigated the sensitivity of photopic and mesopic conditi... Read More about Mesopic conditions optimise the detection of visual function loss in drivers with simulated media opacity.

Factors associated with MRI success in children cooled for neonatal encephalopathy and controls (2022)
Journal Article

Objective: To investigate if an association exists between motion artefacts on brain MRI and comprehension, co-ordination, or hyperactivity scores in children aged 6–8 years, cooled for neonatal encephalopathy (cases) and controls. Methods: Case chil... Read More about Factors associated with MRI success in children cooled for neonatal encephalopathy and controls.

Cerebello-thalamo-cortical network dynamics in the harmaline rodent model of essential tremor (2022)
Journal Article

Essential Tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder, characterised by a posture or movement-related tremor of the upper limbs. Abnormalities within cerebellar circuits are thought to underlie the pathogenesis of ET, resulting in aberrant synchronous...

Online e-learning during the COVID-19 lockdown in Trinidad and Tobago: prevalence and associated factors with ocular complaints among schoolchildren aged 11-19 years (2022)
Journal Article

Background: The increase in online learning during the pandemic has been linked to various ocular complaints. This study determined the prevalence and factors associated with ocular complaints among schoolchildren aged 12-19 years during the COVID-19...

Effect of varying levels of optical blur on performance of a hazard perception test for driving (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Purpose : Appropriate detection of, and reaction to, hazards are important components of safe driving, and for drivers with reduced vision, this skill can become compromised. However, the level of blur that significantly impairs hazard perception per... Read More about Effect of varying levels of optical blur on performance of a hazard perception test for driving.

Electrophysiological assessment in birdshot chorioretinopathy: Flicker electroretinograms recorded with a handheld device (2022)
Journal Article

Purpose: The flicker electroretinogram (ERG) is a sensitive indicator of retinal dysfunction in birdshot chorioretinopathy (BCR). We explored recordings from a handheld device in BCR, comparing these with conventional recordings in the same patients...
