Opinion | Can the Surgicalist Model Solve OR Staffing Challenges?
A number of factors are driving doctors out of the medical field, and our country’s healthcare system is at a crossroads. There are two important things healthcare leaders can do to ensure physicians working in critical roles, such as surgeons and anesthesiologists, stay in the profession and continue providing patients the care they deserve. First, […]
Simulated driving program reduces crash risk for teens with ADHD in small study: Program teaches teens to avoid long glances away from roadway
A program that combines computer-based and driving simulator training may reduce the proportion of crashes and near crashes among teens with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to a small study funded by the National Institutes of Health. Teens who took the training, which aims to reduce the number of long glances away from the roadway, had […]
Simulated Driver Training May Reduce Accidents Among Teens With ADHD
A simulated driving program reduced inattention and risk of crashing among teens with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared with conventional driver’s training, according to a small study that used a program combining computer-based and driving simulator training. During 15-minute simulated drives, teens in the training group had a mean of 16.5 long glances (>2 seconds) […]
Decoding a key part of the cell, atom by atom
Whatever you are doing, whether it is driving a car, going for a jog, or even at your laziest, eating chips and watching TV on the couch, there is an entire suite of molecular machinery inside each of your cells hard at work. That machinery, far too small to see with the naked eye or […]
Autonomous driving: Saving millions in test kilometers
Driving simulator tests are popular — for understandable reasons: any scenario can be simulated at the touch of a button. They are independent of time and weather conditions and without any safety risk for the vehicle, people or the environment. Moreover, an hour in the driving simulator is cheaper and requires less organization than a […]
Climate change to bring more intense storms across Europe
Climate change is driving a large increase in intense, slow-moving storms, a new study by Newcastle University and the Met Office has found. Investigating how climate affects intense rainstorms across Europe, climate experts have shown there will be a significant future increase in the occurrence of slow-moving intense rainstorms. The scientists estimate that these slow-moving […]
