Inspiration4 Crew Safely Splashes Down Off Florida Coast
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Four space tourists safely ended their trailblazing trip to orbit Saturday with a splashdown in the Atlantic off the Florida coast.
Their SpaceX capsule parachuted into the ocean just before sunset, not far from where their chartered flight began three days earlier.
The all-amateur crew was the first to circle the world without a professional astronaut.
The billionaire who paid undisclosed millions for the trip and his three guests wanted to show that ordinary people could blast into orbit by themselves, and SpaceX founder Elon Musk took them on as the company’s first rocket-riding touris...

Investigating brain activities and neural comodulations in motion sickness between passengers and drivers - Huang KC, John AR, Jung TP, Tsai WF, Yu YH, Lin CT.
It is common to believe that passengers are more adversely affected by motion sickness than drivers. However, no study has compared passengers and drivers' neural activities and drivers experiencing motion sickness (MS). Therefore, this study attempts to e... (Source: SafetyLit)

Featured Review: Drugs for preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting in adults after general anaesthesia: a network meta-analysis
ConclusionsFor people at higher risk, some medicines worked well to stop them from being sick after general anaesthesia. The most reliable antiemetic medicines were aprepitant, ramosetron, granisetron, dexamethasone, and ondansetron, followed by fosaprepitant and droperidol.However, the authors did not find enough reliable evidence about potential unwanted effects to rank these medicines reliably according to how well they worked.Read the full review on the Cochrane LibraryVisit the Cochrane Anaesthesia Group websiteTuesday, October 20, 2020 (Source: Cochrane News and Events)
