  The experience motivated them to seek passage of this bill, which would require a person who recklessly or negligently causes serious physical injury to notify authorities so that emergency medical assistance can be provided.

Magic tricks require the manipulation of the audience's attention and awareness. Macknik, Martinez-Conde and their magician co-authors describe the visual and cognitive illusions that underlie many magic tricks, and the techniques that magicians use to achieve these illusions. An interview with Martinez-Conde for Neuropod is available for download . Just as vision scientists study visual art and illusions to elucidate the workings of the visual system, so too can cognitive scientists study cognitive illusions to elucidate the underpinnings of cognition. Magic shows are a manifestation of accomplished magic performers' deep intuition for and understanding of human attention and awareness. By studying magicians and their techniques, neuroscientists can learn powerful methods to manipulate attention and awareness in the laboratory. Such methods could be exploited to directly study the behavioural and neural basis of consciousness itself, for instance through the use of brain imaging and other neural recording techniques.

Abstract The United States Preventive Task Force (USPSTF) expanded the lung cancer screening guidelines with low-dose CT scan (LDCT) to narrow racial and ethnic screening disparities. However, there is a need to examine if eligible individuals can access and use health care. The objective was to examine racial and ethnic differences in LDCT eligibility and health services access and utilization among LDCT-eligible individuals. Data comes from adults 50 to 80 years old in the 2018 Health and Retirement Study (HRS), with at least a 20 pack-year smoking history who currently smoke, or have quit < 15 years ago (n=7,624). The outcomes were LDCT eligibility, access to health care (health insurance and usual place of care), and health care use (visits to the doctor). White individuals were more likely to be LDCT eligible than Black and Hispanic individuals. Among those LDCT eligible, Hispanic individuals were less likely to have insurance (OR:0.43, [95%CI: 0.21; 0.86]) and to visit the doctor than White individuals (OR: 0.38 [0.19; 0.76]). Compared to White individuals, Black individuals were more likely to say their usual place of care was the ER or \"other\" place (OR: 2.65 [1.63; 3.32] and Hispanic individuals were more likely to say they do not have a usual place of care (OR: 1.94 [1.10; 3.41]). Expanding the criteria for lung cancer screening may not be enough to reduce racial and ethnic disparities. More efforts should address racial and ethnic disparities in the implementation of lung cancer screening, including access and use of health care.

HIV self-testing (HIVST) is a promising strategy to expand the HIV care continuum, particularly among priority populations at high risk of HIV infection. However, little is known about HIVST uptake among men who have sex with men (MSM) outside of clinical trial settings. To evaluate HIVST use among urban MSM in the US who reported testing within the past 12 months. A cross-sectional study of adult MSM in the 2017 National HIV Behavioral Surveillance system, which used venue-based sampling methods to collect data related to HIV testing, receipt of prevention services, and risk factors for HIV, was conducted at 588 venues in 23 urban areas in the contiguous US and Puerto Rico. All participants were offered HIV testing. Adult cisgender MSM who reported HIV-negative or unknown HIV status and obtained HIV testing in the past 12 months were included. Data for this study were collected between June 4, 2017, and December 22, 2017, and analyzed between October 23, 2020, and August 20, 2021. Self-reported HIVST in the past year. Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) using survey weights were calculated to assess factors associated with HIVST. A total of 6563 MSM in 23 urban areas met inclusion criteria, of whom 506 (7.7%) individuals reported HIVST in the past year. The median age of self-testers was 29 (IQR, 25-35) years, 52.8% had completed college, and 37.9% reported non-Hispanic White race. One self-tester reported seroconverting in the prior 12 months, and an additional 10 self-testers were diagnosed with HIV during the survey. HIVST was associated with sexual orientation disclosure (aPR, 10.27; 95% CI, 3.45-30.60; P < .001), perceived discrimination against people with HIV (aPR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.09-2.03; P = .01), younger age (aPR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.66-0.84; P < .001), higher educational level (aPR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.04-1.37; P = .01), and higher income levels (aPR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.04-1.32; P = .009). No association was noted with condomless anal sex (aPR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.88-1.06, P = .88), sexually transmitted infections (aPR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.70-1.30; P = .77), or preexposure prophylaxis use (aPR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.75-1.30; P = .92). In this study, HIVST was relatively uncommon in this sample of urban MSM. HIVST may not be reaching those with lower socioeconomic status or who have not disclosed their sexual identity. The findings of this study suggest that efforts to increase HIVST should focus on engaging underserved and vulnerable subgroups of MSM.

New York City Police Officer Rafael Ramos 40-year-old father of two was gunned down in his patrol car one week ago today. An incredible sight in Brooklyn where officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were shot and killed, assassinated one week ago. This memorial continues to grow and it's quite a sight to behold. At the funeral for fallen Officer Rafael Ramos today, an unspoken gesture that spoke volumes. Hundreds of officers outside of the Christ Tabernacle Church in Queens turned their back when Mayor Bill de Blasio appeared on stage and on that big video screen addressing mourners. The top-10 media stories for the year 2014. North Korea is fuming over the release of \"The Interview,\" accusing President Obama of interfering, and comparing him to a monkey, and threatening deadly blows. The president has been a man of action since losing Congress in the midterm elections since the Republican wave, and he's done it all without input from Congress, \"going it alone,\" so is this a sign of what's to come for 2015? Michigan Governor Rick Schneider has signed a new law which will require drug testing for welfare recipients suspected of using drugs, and if someone tests positive, they will be referred to a drug treatment program, but if they test positive a second time, they lose welfare benefits, and if someone refuses to take the test, they won't be able to get benefits for six months.
