Dr. Robert Louis, a neurosurgeon at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Orange County, California, is pitched some type of new technology, gadget or medication every day.

The investigators found that girls enrolled in schools that employed infant dolls and education sessions that simulate what having a baby might be like, were about 36 percent more likely to have a pregnancy — at least one birth or abortion by age 20 — compared to those in schools that only employed the standard school curriculum.

There’s a new building going up on the campus of the Cleveland Clinic. A very big building.
The structure will house the new Case Western Reserve University Health Education campus, eventually including Case Western’s medical, dental and nursing schools, as well as Cleveland Clinic’s in-house medical school. “The idea is to create a ‘mini campus’ that gives each school its own identity but fosters collaboration,” said Chris Connell, one of the architects.

Vast banks of servers record children at work and play, tracking touch-screen swipes, shrugs and head swivels — amassing a database that will be used to build intimate profiles of millions of kids. China — where parents have been known to try anything to give their kids an edge and tend to be less obsessive about privacy — may be an ideal testing ground for the VR classroom of the future.

So he set out to do one himself.
"We found about 54 studies that we extracted data from and combined together, and then we were able to show that, overall, the prevalence of depression or depressive symptoms is about 29 percent among residents, which is a huge number," he said.
In fact, figures from the National Institutes of Health show it's more than four times higher than the percentage of the general American population that has depression.
