Brain activation in the processing of Chinese characters and words: a functional MRI study.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to identify the neural correlates of Chinese character and word reading. The Chinese stimuli were presented visually, one at a time. Subjects covertly generated a word that was semantically related to each stimulus. Three sorts of Chinese items were used: single characters having precise meanings, single characters having vague meanings, and two-character Chinese words. The results indicated that reading Chinese is characterized by extensive activity of the neural systems, with strong left lateralization of frontal (BAs 9 and 47) and temporal (BA 37) cortices and right lateralization of visual systems (BAs 17-19), parietal lobe (BA 3), and cerebellum. The location of peak activation in the left frontal regions coincided nearly completely both for vague- and precise-meaning characters as well as for two-character words, without dissociation in laterality patterns. In addition, left frontal activations were modulated by the ease of semantic retrieval. The present results constitute a challenge to the deeply ingrained belief that activations in reading single characters are right lateralized, whereas activations in reading two-character words are left lateralized.

Publishing a nursing textbook: collaborating through "seamless technology".

Electronic communication can enhance long-distance networking and scholarly activity and make long-distance collaboration through technology a reality. Technology presents a new world of opportunity for improving writing skills, nurturing collegiality, and maximizing efficiency in the successful completion of collaborative projects. The concept of "seamless technology" introduced by the authors provides a guide to assist partners involved in collaborative projects to manage technology for a successful, rewarding experience. Basic questions regarding technology that need to be answered on the front end of a long-distance project are suggested in this article. In addition, the steps taken by the authors to co-author and co-edit a nursing textbook and accompanying instructor's manual by using electronic communication and other sources of technology are outlined. The authors address ways that long-distance collaboration required them to maximize their communication and planning skills, thereby increasing productivity and reducing costs. The challenges and rewards of working together exclusively through technology are discussed, and finally, implications for professional nursing are addressed.

Tell it like it is.

PROBLEM: Nurses, therapists and case managers were spending too much time each week on the phone waiting to read patient reports to live transcriptionists who would then type the reports for storage in VNSNY's clinical management mainframe database. SOLUTION: A speech recognition system helped solve the problem by providing the staff 24-hour access to an automated transcription service any day of the week. RESULTS: Nurses and case managers no longer wait in long queues to transmit patient reports or to retrieve information from the database. Everything is done automatically within minutes. KEYS TO SUCCESS: VNSNY saved both time and money by updating its transcription strategy. Now nurses can spend more time with patients and less time on the phone transcribing notes. It also means fewer staff members are needed on weekends to do manual transcribing.
