The introduction of mobile communication devices (MCDs) has dramatically altered how nurses communicate. It is critical to assess whether these technologies contribute to stress and complicate the work of the nurse or if the devices are perceived as assisting in the provision of efficient and higher-quality patient care. The authors discuss a study that assessed the perceptions of nurses on a medical unit after MCDs were implemented.

Introduction: People who undergo a total laryngectomy lose their natural voice and depend on alaryngeal technologies for communication. However, these technologies are often difficult to use and lack prosody. Surface electromyographic-based silent speech interfaces are novel communication systems that overcome many of the shortcomings of traditional alaryngeal speech and have the potential to seamlessly incorporate individualized prosody.

As eyewear devices such as smart glasses become more common, it is important to provide input methods that can be used at all times for such situations and people. Silent speech interaction (SSI) has the potential to be useful as a hands-free input method for various situations and people, including those who have difficulty with voiced speech. However, previous methods have involved sensor devices that are difficult to use anytime and anywhere.

Unlabelled: COSMOS-France is the French part of the COSMOS project, an international prospective cohort study that investigates whether the use of mobile phones and other wireless technologies is associated with health effects and symptoms (cancers, cardiovascular diseases, neurologic pathologies, tinnitus, headaches, or sleep and mood disturbances). Here, we provide the first descriptive results of COSMOS-France, a cohort nested in the general population-based cohort of adults named Constances.
Methods: A total of 39,284 Constances volunteers were invited to participate in the COSMOS-France study during the pilot (2017) and main recruitment phase (2019).
Usefulness of driver's eye movement measurement to detect potential risks under combined conditions of taking second-generation antihistamines and calling tasks.

Background: Concerns persist regarding the potential reduction in driving performance due to taking second-generation antihistamines or performing hands-free calling. Previous studies have indicated a potential risk to driving performance under an emergency event when these two factors are combined, whereas a non-emergency event was operated effectively. Currently, there is a lack of a discriminative index capable of detecting the potential risks of driving performance impairment.

Introduction: Inside the operating room, experts use verbal instructions to guide surgical novices through laparoscopic procedures. In this study, we evaluated the use of a crosshair attached to the video monitor, as a hands-free pointing tool to simplify instructions during operation.
Methods: Ten surgical novices performed two elective laparoscopic cholecystectomies within a week of each other, randomized such that one was performed with and the other without using the crosshair.
