The REpeated ASSEssment of SurvivorS in intracerebral haemorrhage: protocol for a multicentre, prospective observational study by Daniel Woo, Richard Thompson, Carl D Langefeld, Nichol McBee, Daniel Hanley, Matthew L Flaherty, Lauren Sansing, Karen Lane, Lee A Gilkerson, Achala Vagal, Nathan Walborn, Wendy Ziai, Noeleen Ostapkovich, Kevin Triene, Timothy David Howard

“…Background The REpeated ASSEssment of SurvivorS (REASSESS) study will conduct long-term cognitive, functional and neuropsychiatric performance assessments to determine whether evacuation of spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) reduces the risk of later cognitive decline in the ageing brain.Methods and analysis This study will compare rates of cognitive decline under two treatment strategies for ICH. The first strategy is the use of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) with similar techniques as performed in (1) the Minimally Invasive Surgery plus rt-PA in the Treatment of Intracerebral haemorrhage Evacuation phase III (MISTIE III) trial, (2) the Early MiNimally-invasive Removal of IntraCerebral Haemorrhage (ENRICH) trial and (3) a single-centre cohort of consecutively treated patients with MIS. …”

Applicability of a computer retinal model for scale-dependent investigation of legibility problems by Gábor Dömötör, András Horváth

“…Although the simulation is imperfect, the software can perform significantly more measurements than human experiments with higher uniformity and give reproducible legibility information about significantly more fonts in various circumstances.In addition to the two scaling methods used in the literature (x-height, font-height), the tests are also performed with two other self-developed scaling methods, which provide a fairer comparison in the case of non-standard character types.This paper contains the legibility measurement results for 22 fonts under various simulated scenarios. The derived font ranking aligns closely with findings from prior human-based studies, demonstrating the robustness and reliability of the proposed method. …”
