Changes in Iridocorneal Angle Configuration and Intraocular Pressure during Smartphone Use under Room Light

Purpose: To investigate changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) and iridocorneal angle (ICA) configuration during smartphone use under room light. Methods: We included healthy adults aged 19-35 years with no ophthalmological abnormalities. All read text on a smartphone for 6 minutes under room light. IOP was measured via rebound tonometry at baseline and at 2, 4, and 6 minutes. ICA images were obtained via anterior segment optical coherence tomography after each IOP measurement. After 6 minutes, participants stopped reading text and rested for 2 minutes. IOP was then measured again. Results: The IOP significantly increased at 2, 4, and 6 minutes of reading compared to baseline (p < 0.001) but recovered to baseline after 2 minutes of rest (p = 1.000). The anterior chamber depth decreased significantly, and the anterior chamber angle width increased after 6 minutes of smartphone reading (both p < 0.05). Conclusions: IOP increased when reading smartphone text under room light but the ICA did not change. Prolonged smartphone reading is inappropriate for a patient at risk of glaucoma or glaucoma progression. Such patients should be cautioned.

Automatic Room Light Controller Using PIR Sensor and Arduino

The mainstay of the project “Automatic room light controller using PIR Sensor and Ardiuno” is the importance of seismological research around the globe is very clear. Where the lights in the room will automatically turn on upon detecting a human motion and stay turned on until the person has left or there is no motion. Initially, when there is no human movement, the PIR Sensor doesn’t detect any person and its OUT pin stays LOW. As the person enters the room, the change in infrared radiation in the room is detected by the PIR Sensor. It can be used to turn ON and OFF the lighting system of the home automatically by detecting the presence of humans. This in turn will make the Arduino to turn OFF the relay (make the relay pin HIGH) and the room light will be turned off quickly as per the time delays sets in the program.

Implementation of IoT to reduce the use of electrical energy

Electricity consumption in Indonesia continues to increase by an average of 6.8% per year. IoT in 4.0 industry can be used to help community in reducing energy consumtion, including electricity, by implementing smart home sensor and actuator in IoT can be used to control the electricity consumtion automatically. This research has an objective to design and apply smart home that can reduce the electricity consumtion. The Smart Home device is an Arduino ESP8266 NodeMCU microcontroller equipped with a PIR sensor, DHT11 sensor and relay. This system is connected to the website as a controlling system. The smart home can also reduce power usage on street light by 7,524.91 watts (59.72%), living room light by 1,500 watts (50%), kitchen light by 2699,94 watts (75 )%), the main room lamp is 1259.98 watts (50%). Smart home system with a timer for one month can reduce power usage by 12,984.83 watts (12.01%) and can reduce the cost of using electrical devices by Rp. 16,881 (12.01%).

Physicochemical stability of human insulin 1 I.U./mL infusion solution in 50 mL polypropylene syringes

Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate the physicochemical stability of human insulin 1 I.U./mL injection solutions (Insuman® Rapid) diluted with 0.9% NaCl solution in 50 mL disposable three-piece polypropylene syringes and stored refrigerated or at room temperature. Methods 1 I.U./mL test solutions were prepared with Insuman® Rapid and 0.9% sodium chloride infusion solution in 50 mL Original-Perfusor® syringes and BD® Perfusion syringes. Test solutions were stored for 90 days at 2–8 °C/dark or 48 h at 20–25 °C/diffuse room light in order to determine chemical stability. Additional test solutions were stored 28 days at 2–8 °C/dark followed by 24 h at 20–25 °C/diffuse room light to measure pH and particle counts. Human insulin concentrations were analysed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography at predefined time points. Test solutions were regularly inspected; subvisible particles and pH values were measured. Results Insuman® Rapid 1 I.U./mL injection solutions, stored at 2–8 °C/dark for 90 days showed a decrease of insulin content over time, regardless of the syringe type used. When kept at 20–25 °C/diffuse room light for 48 h, a slight decrease of the HI concentration was observed in both syringe types. No evidence of colour change, relevant particle formation or major pH-change was observed throughout the observation period in any test solution. Conclusions Insuman® Rapid 1 I.U./mL injection solutions can be prepared by dilution with 0.9% NaCl infusion solution in disposable 50 mL three-piece polypropylene syringes as suitable primary containers. Physicochemical stability has been demonstrated for at least 21 days stored at 2–8 °C/dark followed by 48 h at 20–25 °C/diffuse room light.
