En el curso escolar 1979/1980, en una clase de matemáticas de 1º BUP, recuerdo como la profesora confiscó a un compañero un cubo de Rubik, juego que causaba furor en aquella época, soltándole la consabida reprimenda de que más valdría que estudiara un …

According to him USC Children's Health Study, which followed a group of children into adulthood, daily exposure to road traffic emissions during childhood May lay the foundation for cardiovascular disease in adulthood.
The research, recently published in the journal Environmental Health, used ultrasound to examine the carotid arteries in participants at age 10 and again a decade later. Changes in the intima-media thickness of the carotid artery is a measure of very early stage atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of most cardiovascular diseases.
The study was based on the most recent Children's Health Study cohort: approximately 5,000 children. Children in the current study came from 13 communities in Southern California, representing a mix of backgrounds.
For each child, the researchers calculated average residential exposures to regional environmental pollutants such as ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter using regulatory air monitoring data. They estimated exposure to nitrogen oxides based on the proximity of a child's home to busy highways.
Still, future studies will provide a more complete picture of the interaction between diet, physical activity, and pollution exposure.
Early detection of changes in the carotid artery has the potential to improve understanding of how cardiovascular disease develops over time in relation to air pollution, and thereby helping to identify children at risk of cardiovascular disease in adulthood.

As concluded A study Led by The Ohio State University College of Nursing, critical care nurses with poor physical and mental health reported significantly more medical errors than nurses in better health.
The study findings published in the American Journal of Critical Care.
The authors cited research on the prevalence of symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout among critical care nurses as a basis for examining the potential correlation between well-being and medical errors. The study surveyed almost 800 members.
Those who reported poorer health and well-being were 31% to 62% more likely to make medical errors.
The study, which was conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic, also found that "nurses who perceived their workplace to be highly supportive of their well-being were twice as likely to have better physical health."
The authors mention that levels of stress, anxiety and depression probably be even higher in the current environment than before the pandemic, when the study was conducted.
