Encoding New Episodes and Making Them Stick

Study on incidence of needle stick injury and factors associated with this problem among medical students.

Medical students face the threat of needle stick injury with the consequent risk of acquiring blood-borne infection by pathogens such as HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C while performing their clinical activities in the hospitals. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 417 final year medical students from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), University Malaya (UM) and Universiti Putra Mal...

Modeling Past Episodes of Erosion in the Lake Orūmiye (Urmia) Basin: Analogues for Future Landscape Dynamics

During the Holocene Lake Orūmiye has been subjected to significant changes in climate. These have impacted the surround vegetation and runoff, and erosion rates of the surrounding basin. Shifts in seasonal rainfall from winter to summer dominated patterns have resulted in dramatic changes in the Orūmiye Basin’s vegetation cover from grass to shrub dominated communities. The degree of ground sur...

Investigating the Frequency and Related Factors of Needle Stick Injuries among Students of Fasa University of Medical Sciences-Fasa-2017

Introduction: Occupational injuries are considered as the most common work-related risk factors among the medical sciences students. Medical sciences students are mostly exposed to needle stick injuries and sharp objects when training in the clinical environment due to lack of enough experience. This study aimed at investigating the frequency of these injuries and the related causes of its occu...

Unconscious relational inference recruits the hippocampus.

Relational inference denotes the capacity to encode, flexibly retrieve, and integrate multiple memories to combine past experiences to update knowledge and improve decision-making in new situations. Although relational inference is thought to depend on the hippocampus and consciousness, we now show in young, healthy men that it may occur outside consciousness but still recruits the hippocampus....
