Assessment of knowledge of general and local anesthesia among patients undergoing elective surgery

A study of 370 patients undergoing elective surgery found that those with higher levels of awareness about anesthesia had better understanding of general and local anesthesia. Patients who underwent surgeries related to eyes, nose, and throat scored higher on the knowledge test due to limited sources of information.

Researchers propose a more effective method to predict floods

A team of researchers from Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and other institutions has identified a flexible and user-friendly model for predicting flood frequency in a changing environment. The fractional polynomial-based regression method is more effective than existing models, which often fail to account for factors like climate ...

Intoxication important in determining when some men commit sexual aggression

A review article finds that men who are prone to anger and have hostile attitudes toward women are more likely to commit sexual aggression when intoxicated. The study suggests that alcohol primarily influences the circumstances under which some men commit sexual assault, rather than who becomes sexually aggressive.
