Objectives: Compliance with standards in designing information systems leads to better utilization and ease of use for users. In this study, the compliance of a widely used hospital information system (HIS) with ISO 9241 part 12 was assessed.
Methods: This applied research is a descriptive, cross-sectional study in which the HIS of 8 hospitals affiliated with Kerman University of Medical Sciences was evaluated based on ISO 9241 part 12. Data were collected by using ISO 9241/12 checklist. The data was analyzed in SPSS 16 using descriptive statistics.
Results: The analysis of data showed that the total compliance of the software with the ISO 9241/12 was 72%. The compliance of the software based on different groups of recommendations was 79% with Organization of information, 91% with Graphic objects, and 58% with Coding techniques. Compliance with different subgroups of ISO recommendations ranged from 28% related to "color coding" in coding techniques to 97% related to "General recommendation for graphical objects" in Graphic objects.
Conclusion: According to this study, the design of a widely used HIS has fairly good compliance with the standard but still suffers from some problems. Considering the role of accurate, valid and timely information in management of the hospitals, and the difficulty of system optimization after implementation, it is necessary that software developers follow existing standards when designing health information systems.

Unlabelled: With the advent of robot-assisted surgery, user-friendly technologies have been applied to the da Vinci surgical system (dVSS), and their efficacy has been validated in worldwide surgical fields. However, further improvements are required to the traditional manipulation methods, which cannot control an endoscope and surgical instruments simultaneously. This study proposes a speech recognition control interface (SRCI) for controlling the endoscope via speech commands while manipulating surgical instruments to replace the traditional method.

- This study examines how flat rate pricing for unlimited alcohol at restaurants and bars affects drinking behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on problematic consumption patterns as measured by the AUDIT.
- Data from a large survey of nearly 20,000 current drinkers showed that those using flat rate pricing reported significantly higher rates of problem drinking and binge drinking compared to non-users.
- The findings suggest that flat rate pricing is linked to increased hazardous drinking and probable alcohol use disorders, indicating a potential risk factor for heavy alcohol consumption.
Association of nighttime sleep duration at 1.5 years with height at 3 years: The Japan Environment and Children's Study.

Article Synopsis
- Adequate nighttime sleep duration is linked to better linear growth in children, particularly from ages 1.5 to 3 years.
- A study involving over 52,000 children in Japan found that sleep duration significantly predicted tall stature at age 3 when considering various factors like mother's height and household income.
- The findings suggest that nighttime sleep is crucial for growth, while total sleep duration (including naps) does not show a similar association.
