Wellness and Stress Management Practices Among Healthcare Professionals and Health Professional Students.

Purpose: Healthcare professionals experience stressors that begin during training and persist into their careers that adversely impact their well-being. This study aims to identify students' and professionals' stress levels, satisfaction with wellness domains, barriers to wellness, and stress management practices.

Design: This study was a cross-sectional self-reported survey study.

A Pilot Study Comparing Cued Versus Recognition Recall Question Design on Medical Student Utilization, Effectiveness, and Perceptions of Pharmacology Educational Games.

Although games are used for active learning, research is lacking on how design impacts learning, engagement, and utilization in medical students. This pilot study compared pharmacology educational games designed with cued recall questions with a recognition-recall trivia multiple choice format. Learning was determined by comparing quiz performance pre- and post-game, and perceptions were measured by post-game survey.

A low-power integrated humidity CMOS sensor by printing-on-chip technology.

A low-power, wide-dynamic-range integrated humidity sensing chip is implemented using a printable polymer sensing material with an on-chip pulse-width-modulation interface circuit. By using the inkjet printing technique, poly(3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene)/polystyrene sulfonate that has humidity sensing features can be printed onto the top metal layer of a 0.35 μm CMOS IC.

A contact lens with embedded sensor for monitoring tear glucose level.

We report the design, construction, and testing of a contact lens with an integrated amperometric glucose sensor, proposing the possibility of in situ human health monitoring simply by wearing a contact lens. The glucose sensor was constructed by creating microstructures on a polymer substrate, which was subsequently shaped into a contact lens. Titania sol-gel film was applied to immobilize glucose oxidase, and Nafion® was used to decrease several potential interferences (ascorbic acid, lactate, and urea) present in the tear film.
