A research agenda for medical overuse
Although overuse in medicine is gaining increased attention, many questions remain unanswered.
At the Preventing Overdiagnosis conference in Washington, Dan Morgan, associate professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, and Sanket Dhruva, research fellow at Yale University, propose an agenda for coordinated research to improve our understanding of the problem.

Helicopter emergency medical services for adults with major trauma
Air ambulances have become familiar to many people as a way to get medical care to badly injured patients and to get them quickly to hospital. In March 2013, a team of researchers published their Cochrane Review examining the evidence for the effects of these helicopters on survival. Samuel Galvagno from the Department of Anesthesiology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Division of Trauma Anesthesiology, Program in Trauma, R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in the USA tells us what they found.

" Bat Signal " -- The Discovery Files
A new University of Maryland study finds that echolocating bats use a strategy to track and catch erratically moving insects that is much like the system used by some guided missles to intercept evasive targets and is different from the way humans and some animals track moving objects. The researchers speculate that evolutionary pressure to catch flying insects as quickly as possible may have pushed the bat to adopt its fast food technique. (Source: The Discovery Files)
