The fledgling Google Glass is slowly working its way into the mainstream, and one place that people should get used to seeing the device is in hospitals.
Several medical institutions have already been testing the computer-enabled eyeglasses to see if the devices enhance doctors' work. But the School of Medicine at the University of California, Irvine, is taking it one step further by issuing Google Glass to its students.
Irvine will be the first medical school to fully incorporate Glass into its four-year curriculum. Its first- and second-year students will use the device in their anatomy and clinical skills courses, while third- and fourth-year students will wear Glass during their hospital rotations.

While the general public appears to still be making up its mind about the idea of wearing a face computer, some fields of work see the wearable as a helpful asset. For medicine, doctors won't have to use their hands to dig through files, search computers, or look up facts on a tablet. With a simple nod of the head or blink of the eye, they could get all of the real-time information they need without having to leave a patient's side.
Besides UC Irvine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston has also been testing Glass with its emergency-room doctors. The center found that the wearable has proved helpful with getting summarized information to doctors as they're speaking with and examining patients.
UC Irvine has also found Glass helpful in the pilot tests it has conducted in operating rooms, intensive-care units, and the emergency department.
"Medical education has always been very visual and very demonstrative, and Glass has enormous potential to positively impact the way we can educate physicians in real time," said Dr. Warren Wiechmann, UC Irvine's assistant clinical professor of emergency medicine and associate dean of instructional technologies. "Indeed, all of medicine is based on 'seeing,' not 'reading,' the patient."

WORCESTER, MA It only takes one time. That's the message of a new study by scientists at the University of Massachusetts Medical School on binge drinking. Their research found that a single episode of binge drinking can have significant negative health effects resulting in bacteria leaking from the gut, leading to increased levels of toxins in the blood. Published online in PLOS ONE, the study showed that these bacterial toxins, called endotoxins, caused the body to produce immune cells involved in fever, inflammation, and tissue destruction.
"We found that a single alcohol binge can elicit an immune response, potentially impacting the health of an otherwise healthy individual," said lead author Gyongyi Szabo, MD, PhD, professor of medicine, vice chair of the Department of Medicine and associate dean for clinical and translational sciences at UMMS. "Our observations suggest that an alcohol binge is more dangerous than previously thought."
Binge drinking is defined by National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) as a pattern of drinking alcohol that brings blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08g/dL or above. For a typical adult, this corresponds with consuming five or more drinks for men, or four or more drinks for women, in about two hours, depending on body weight.
Binge drinking is known to pose safety risks associated with car crashes and injuries. Over the long term, binge drinking can damage the liver and other organs, but this is key evidence that a single alcohol binge can cause damaging health effects such as bacterial leakage from the gut into the blood stream, according to a statement released by George Koob, PhD, director of the NIAAA.
To assess the impact of binge drinking, 11 men and 14 women were given enough alcohol to raise their blood alcohol levels to at least .08 g/dL within an hour. Blood samples were then taken every 30 minutes for four hours after and again 24 hours later.
Szabo and colleagues found that the alcohol binge resulted in a rapid increase in endotoxin levels in the blood. Endotoxins are toxins contained in the cell wall of certain bacteria that are released when the cell is destroyed. They also found evidence of bacterial DNA in the bloodstream, showing that bacteria had permeated the gut. Compared to men, women had higher blood alcohol levels and circulating endotoxin levels.
Earlier studies have tied chronic alcohol use to increased gut permeability, wherein potentially harmful products can travel through the intestinal wall and be carried to other parts of the body. Greater gut permeability and increased endotoxin levels have been linked to many of the health issues related to chronic drinking, including alcoholic liver disease.

The proposed osteopathic medical school at Chaffee Crossing in Fort Smith now has a dean.
Kenneth A. Heiles, D.O., on Wednesday, was named dean of the Arkansas Colleges of Health Education and the proposed Arkansas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Smith.
Kyle Parker, president and CEO of ACHE, said Heiles was "the key hire" needed to ensure the best program for the proposed school. Parker referred to Heiles as "one of the most respected and influential deans at both the state and national levels."
"He will be instrumental in developing graduate medical education in and for both the state of Arkansas and the nation," Parker said in the news release.
Heiles, currently the American College of Osteopathic Physicians Chair of the Committee on Education and Evaluation, said he was excited to have the opportunity to shape the future of the proposed medical school.
"This will be a tremendous asset to western Arkansas and the entire state and make great strides in helping fill the need for medical professionals," he said in the release.
Cole Goodman, M.D., president of Mercy Clinic in Fort Smith, said Heiles' hiring will fast-track the process of setting up a curricula and hiring faculty while the construction of the college begins.
"Dr. Heiles as dean of the osteopathic college is a major step in making the proposed COM a reality," Goodman said in the release.
In February, the Fort Chaffee Redevelopment Authority donated 200 acres to the project. The Fort Smith Regional Healthcare Foundation has also approved $58 million for the school, which is hoped to be opened in the fall of 2017.
"Our mission clearly states that we have a responsibility to fill gaps in health care and provide care for the medically underserved," Parker said in February.

Google Glass handed out to all medical students at UC Irvine
Lewis Katz's mother always wanted him to be a doctor, but he couldn't stand the sight of blood and didn't much like dissection.
So he went to law school instead, and then made a fortune in parking, banking, billboards, and real estate.
Wednesday, his alma mater announced that Temple University's medical school will be named after the longtime member of the university's board of trustees and the largest donor in the school's history.
"I got the second-best thing for her," said Katz, 72. "She's got to be smiling today."
Katz, a co-owner of The Inquirer, pledged $25 million to Temple in November - the biggest single gift in the university's history. That represents 8 percent of the university's endowment, which as of last June totaled $324 million.
At the time of Katz's pledge, no purpose for the money was specified. University officials said Wednesday that the funds would be used to enhance research and faculty support at the School of Medicine, soon to be called the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple.
The 11-story education and research building on the university's medical school campus in North Philadelphia opened in 2009 and cost $160 million.
While university officials declined to say how much money Katz has given his alma mater over the years, they acknowledged him to be is the largest benefactor in Temple's history.

Newswise While 12-hour weekend shifts for nurses are typical, its not common to do it while also attending medical school full-time. But thats what Mazvita Ethel Simoyi did during her first year at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, commuting every weekend to a hospital in Washington, D.C. to help pay for her education.
Now set to earn her M.D. degree from UVA this month, Simoyi laughed when asked how she endured the relentless schedule of work, schoolwork and commuting. I honestly do not know how I did it, she said. Necessity makes you rise to the occasion.
Working Toward a Lifelong Dream Simoyi knew she wanted to be a doctor from the time she was 5 or 6, when her father, Dr. Mike Simoyi, a general practitioner in Zimbabwe, brought her to his clinic to observe a tubal ligation. I stood on a stool in the operating room, looking at him make the incision, she said.
As she got older, she helped direct patients at the clinic where her father worked with her mother Regina, a nurse. The time she spent there deepened her commitment to medicine.
The patients [at my parents clinic] are very, very grateful for the help they receive, she said. My father is also very involved in public health, and educating people at a time when HIV and AIDS was beginning to get a lot of attention. Thats why I wanted to be a doctor so I could help people and share my knowledge with them.
To continue her path toward becoming a doctor, Simoyi came to the U.S. from Zimbabwe at age 17 to attend college. After beginning as a biology/pre-med major at Butler University, she transferred to Howard University in Washington, D.C., earning a nursing degree in 2007. She went into nursing so she could earn a living while taking the remaining pre-requisite classes for medical school and ensure that medicine was 100 percent what I wanted to do.
After three years working as a nurse, she entered UVAs School of Medicine in 2010. But she wasnt quite done with nursing.
Full-Time Medical Student, Part-Time Nurse During her first year as a med student, Simoyi worked weekends on a medical/surgical/oncology inpatient unit at Providence Hospital in Washington, D.C. She would leave Charlottesville around 5 p.m. Thursday or Friday for Washington, staying with her sister Nyasha or friends from Howard University when she wasnt at work. She would return to Charlottesville around midnight Sunday to get some sleep before waking up at 7 a.m. Monday to begin another week of med school classes.

Mazvita Ethel Simoyi: Nursing Experience Paid Off in Medical School
PETALING JAYA: Hundreds of Penang-based private medical school Allianze University Medical Sciences (AUCMS) students have suffered from the school's financial crisis, which has allegedly dragged on for a year.
An employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Star Online that the students were no longer allowed to serve their practical years in some government hospitals due to the colleges poor track record.
There are many occasions where the students are not allowed to enter the wards as the hospitals departments refused to accept students from AUCMS.
They complained that the quality of teaching in AUCMS has been below the standard of medical school, he claimed.
The plight of AUCMS employees was highlighted in The Star Online on Apr 22, with some turning to loan sharks in desperation as their salaries have allegedly not been paid in four months.
Despite repeated reminders to the colleges management including a signed petition, the employee said their concerns have been ignored.
Our patience is running thin. Its been five months now and we havent received a sen yet, he said, adding that the employees are planning to take legal action against the college.
More than 65 employees have signed a petition letter demanding their salaries, Employees Provident Funds contributions and scheduler tax reduction are paid according to their contracts.
However, the management still has not responded to the petition, he said.
He also said the employees are threatening to boycott the classes due to the ongoing problems.
