...hurt. Highly experienced people tend to execute routine tasks almost unconsciously - think of Monica immediately glancing up to see Ardman's dopamine drip - and they retrieve the information they need quickly, rarely pausing to apply rules. Driving is a good example. In a 1991 paper in the journal Ergonomics, a team of researchers found that while new drivers and truly expert drivers (members of Britain's Institute of Advanced Motorists) checked their mirrors often and applied their brakes early, regular drivers with 20 years' experience rarely checked their mirrors and braked much later. Experience in a particular task frees space...
Harvard Medical School professor Douglas P. Kiel is facing a lawsuit because of an article he published in the July 2007 issue of the Journal of American Medicine (JAMA). In the study, Kiel, a gerontologist, said that hip protectors are not effective in preventing injuries among elderly patients, a claim challenged by HipSaver, a popular hip protector manufacturer, in a suit filed in Norfolk Superior Court on Feb. 15. Representatives for HipSaver accuse Kiel of deliberately using one particular type of hip protector that is inferior to many of the protectors on the market and concluding that all hip protectors...
...Researchers from the U.K., U.S. and Canada analyzed results for fluoxetine (better known by the brand name Prozac), venlafaxine (Effexor), nefazodone (Serzone) and paroxetine (Paxil or Seroxat) - all members of a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). The researchers' paper, published this week in the journal PLoS Medicine, claims that only patients who are diagnosed "at the upper end of the very severely depressed category" get any meaningful benefit from the widely prescribed drugs. For the others, the paper says, antidepressants are barely more effective than a placebo (although patients suffering from depression, like those suffering...
...election show that successful candidates need lots of cold, hard cash. There was wide variation in the amount that candidates spent during the race, although with few exceptions those who spent the most money won. The figures were published in an issue of the Cambridge Civic Journal, authored by local political commentator Robert Winters, who is also an Extension School professor. Additionally, Cambridge City Council candidates consistently spent several thousand dollars more than those elected to the Cambridge School Committee. Councillor Kenneth E. Reeves ’72 both raised and spent the most money for his campaign, with...
...commons. The good of the public realm has been subsumed under the convenience of the individual, and personal expedience has been allowed to trump the interests of the commonwealth. Vision obscured by the opaque nylon, the umbrella user becomes a lumbering cyclone of eye-gouging points. The Journal of the American Medical Association in 1978 published a paper on “orbitofacial wounds” caused by umbrella tips, warning that these injuries often go “unrecognized” and stressing “immediate neurologic and radiologic evaluations...
