Gamers pwn young doctors at robotic surgery ? Video Games ...

The next time you have to go under the knife, you might want to ask the doctor if he?s played any good video games lately. According to a new medical study, gamers have are more likely to have the strong hand-eye coordination skills required for robotic surgery than non-gaming medical residents.

Researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) at Galveston took a sample of high school sophomores as well as college students, all of whom said they played video games for multiple hours every day, and then tested their skills in a robotic surgery simulator. The same tests were also given to a sampling of the medical school?s residents.

Their performance was rated across 20 different parameters. Surprisingly (but perhaps not), the high school students ? average age 16 ? had the best average scores. The college students had the second best scores, while the UTMB residents were at the bottom of group.

As if that wasn?t evidence enough, the entire idea for the study was sparked when lead author Dr. Sami Kilic took was with his son, an ?avid gamer,? at a medical convention. Kilic said he was amazed when he saw his son try out a robotic surgery simulator that was on display. He was ?immediately at ease with the technology,? Kilic said.

Robotic surgery is quickly becoming a highly practiced form of medicine. From robotic prostate removal to incredibly precise eye surgery, this emerging form of medical technology is safer, and drastically cuts back on patient recovery time.

It is not that surprising that gamers would be able to grasp the controls and have the precision required for such a task. And in fact, there are actually video games that simulate surgery. So if games can teach people how to drive, why not surgery too?

Egypt's Morsi grants himself far-reaching powers

CAIRO (AP) ? Egypt's president on Thursday issued constitutional amendments granting himself far-reaching powers and ordering the retrial of leaders of Hosni Mubarak's regime for the killing of protesters in last year's uprising.

Mohammed Morsi decreed immunity for the panel drafting a new constitution from any possible court decisions to dissolve it. He granted the same protection to the upper chamber of parliament, which is largely toothless. Both bodies are dominated by Morsi's Islamist allies.

Several courts are currently looking into cases demanding the dissolution of both bodies. Parliament's lower chamber, also dominated by Islamists, was dissolved in June by a court decision on the grounds that the rules governing its election were illegal.

The Egyptian leader also decreed that all decisions he has made since taking office in June and until a new constitution is adopted are not subject to appeal in court or by any other authority, a move that places Morsi above oversight of any kind. He already has legislative powers after the powerful lower chamber was dissolved days before he took office June 30.

The decree for retrials appeared aimed at launching a new prosecution of Mubarak. It says those who held "political or executive" positions in the former regime would be affected. Mubarak was convicted in June to life in prison for failing to stop the killing of protesters during last year's uprising against his rule, but many Egyptians were angered that he wasn't convicted of actually ordering the crackdown and that his security chief, Habib el-Adly, was not sentenced to death. Several top police commanders were acquitted, and Mubarak and his sons were found not guilty of corruption charges.

Morsi's decrees came as thousands of demonstrators gathered in downtown Cairo for the fourth day running to protest against Morsi's policies and criticize the Muslim Brotherhood, the fundamentalist group from which the Egyptian leader hails. They come one day after he won lavish praise from U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton for mediating an end to eight days of fighting between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers, whose parent group is the Brotherhood.

Morsi also on Thursday fired the country's top prosecutor by decreeing with immediate effect that he could only stay in office for four years. Abdel-Maguid Mahmoud has been in the job for close to a decade. Morsi fired Mahmoud for the first time in October, but had to rescind his decision when he found that the powers of his office do not empower him to do so.

Mahmoud, a Mubarak-era appointee, has faced widespread accusations that his office did a shoddy job collecting evidence against dozens of police officers who were tried and acquitted on charges of killing protesters during the uprising.

Thursday's decisions were read on state television by Morsi's spokesman, Yasser Ali.

Study finds mammograms lead to unneeded treatment

Graphic shows early vs. late diagnoses in women 40 and older

Graphic shows early vs. late diagnoses in women 40 and older

FILE - In this Thursday, May 6, 2010 file photo, a radiologist uses a magnifying glass to check mammograms for breast cancer in Los Angeles. There's more disappointing evidence that breast cancer screening is not as helpful as many women believe. A big U.S. study shows that mammograms have done surprisingly little to catch deadly cancers before they spread. At the same time, they have led more than a million women to be treated for growths that never would have threatened their lives. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes, File)

Mammograms have done surprisingly little to catch deadly breast cancers before they spread, a big U.S. study finds. At the same time, more than a million women have been treated for cancers that never would have threatened their lives, researchers estimate.

Up to one-third of breast cancers, or 50,000 to 70,000 cases a year, don't need treatment, the study suggests.

It's the most detailed look yet at overtreatment of breast cancer, and it adds fresh evidence that screening is not as helpful as many women believe. Mammograms are still worthwhile, because they do catch some deadly cancers and save lives, doctors stress. And some of them disagree with conclusions the new study reached.

But it spotlights a reality that is tough for many Americans to accept: Some abnormalities that doctors call "cancer" are not a health threat or truly malignant. There is no good way to tell which ones are, so many women wind up getting treatments like surgery and chemotherapy that they don't really need.

Men have heard a similar message about PSA tests to screen for slow-growing prostate cancer, but it's relatively new to the debate over breast cancer screening.

"We're coming to learn that some cancers ? many cancers, depending on the organ ? weren't destined to cause death," said Dr. Barnett Kramer, a National Cancer Institute screening expert. However, "once a woman is diagnosed, it's hard to say treatment is not necessary."

He had no role in the study, which was led by Dr. H. Gilbert Welch of Dartmouth Medical School and Dr. Archie Bleyer of St. Charles Health System and Oregon Health & Science University. Results are in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.

Breast cancer is the leading type of cancer and cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. Nearly 1.4 million new cases are diagnosed each year. Other countries screen less aggressively than the U.S. does. In Britain, for example, mammograms are usually offered only every three years and a recent review there found similar signs of overtreatment.

The dogma has been that screening finds cancer early, when it's most curable. But screening is only worthwhile if it finds cancers destined to cause death, and if treating them early improves survival versus treating when or if they cause symptoms.

Mammograms also are an imperfect screening tool ? they often give false alarms, spurring biopsies and other tests that ultimately show no cancer was present. The new study looks at a different risk: Overdiagnosis, or finding cancer that is present but does not need treatment.

Researchers used federal surveys on mammography and cancer registry statistics from 1976 through 2008 to track how many cancers were found early, while still confined to the breast, versus later, when they had spread to lymph nodes or more widely.

The scientists assumed that the actual amount of disease ? how many true cases exist ? did not change or grew only a little during those three decades. Yet they found a big difference in the number and stage of cases discovered over time, as mammograms came into wide use.

Mammograms more than doubled the number of early-stage cancers detected ? from 112 to 234 cases per 100,000 women. But late-stage cancers dropped just 8 percent, from 102 to 94 cases per 100,000 women.

The imbalance suggests a lot of overdiagnosis from mammograms, which now account for 60 percent of cases that are found, Bleyer said. If screening were working, there should be one less patient diagnosed with late-stage cancer for every additional patient whose cancer was found at an earlier stage, he explained.

"Instead, we're diagnosing a lot of something else ? not cancer" in that early stage, Bleyer said. "And the worst cancer is still going on, just like it always was."

Researchers also looked at death rates for breast cancer, which declined 28 percent during that time in women 40 and older ? the group targeted for screening. Mortality dropped even more ? 41 percent ? in women under 40, who presumably were not getting mammograms.

"We are left to conclude, as others have, that the good news in breast cancer ? decreasing mortality ? must largely be the result of improved treatment, not screening," the authors write.

The study was paid for by the study authors' universities.

"This study is important because what it really highlights is that the biology of the cancer is what we need to understand" in order to know which ones to treat and how, said Dr. Julia A. Smith, director of breast cancer screening at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York. Doctors already are debating whether DCIS, a type of early tumor confined to a milk duct, should even be called cancer, she said.

Another expert, Dr. Linda Vahdat, director of the breast cancer research program at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, said the study's leaders made many assumptions to reach a conclusion about overdiagnosis that "may or may not be correct."

"I don't think it will change how we view screening mammography," she said.

A government-appointed task force that gives screening advice calls for mammograms every other year starting at age 50 and stopping at 75. The American Cancer Society recommends them every year starting at age 40.

Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, the cancer society's deputy chief medical officer, said the study should not be taken as "a referendum on mammography," and noted that other high-quality studies have affirmed its value. Still, he said overdiagnosis is a problem, and it's not possible to tell an individual woman whether her cancer needs treated.

"Our technology has brought us to the place where we can find a lot of cancer. Our science has to bring us to the point where we can define what treatment people really need," he said.

Air New Zealand to unveil ?Hobbit?-themed plane

8 hrs.

A. Pawlowski , NBC News contributor

Air New Zealand already has hobbits instructing passengers on how to fly safely. Now, you can soon see the creatures soaring over the Pacific and the Atlantic as well.

The airline has transformed a Boeing 777-300ER into a ?flying billboard? for ?The Hobbit:?An Unexpected Journey,? the first installment in Peter Jackson?s series?adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien?s book and a prequel to the blockbuster ?Lord of the Rings? saga.

A ?massive? decal inspired by the new movie covers the length of the plane, the largest graphic ever to be applied to an aircraft, said Jodi Williams, head of international marketing for Air New Zealand. It took about six days and 400 man hours to install the decal.

The airline has been secretive about the exact design, revealing only that it worked with Jackson?s Weta Workshop to create the motif, which features imagery from the film. The world will get its first glimpse of the aircraft on Saturday morning New Zealand time (Friday afternoon U.S. Eastern time), when it is unveiled in Auckland. The plane will then head to Los Angeles, where it is scheduled to land Saturday afternoon. The aircraft will fly primarily to L.A. and London.

Both markets are very important to Air New Zealand, which is hoping its partnership with the makers of ?The Hobbit? will help attract visitors from North America and Europe.

?It puts us out there and creates more awareness. And it gives people more of a reason to actually select New Zealand to travel,? Williams said.

?It?s very challenging for Air New Zealand to get that brand presence and that awareness because we don?t have a significant marketing budget, so by actually working in partnership with a movie that?s shot in New Zealand and shows New Zealand, it makes perfect sense.?

The airline?s first ?Hobbit?-themed effort ? a special flight safety video that features all kinds of creatures from Middle Earth ? is already a hit, with global media attention and more than 9 million views on YouTube since it was released on Halloween.?

The production is the first movie-aligned safety video for Air New Zealand, although the airline is known for its fun and quirky lessons on how to stay safe at 35,000 feet. Past videos have featured hunky rugby players, flight attendants wearing only body paint, and exercise enthusiast Richard Simmons.

Air New Zealand also likes to experiment with the look of its aircraft, introducing several planes painted black from nose to tail in recent months.

But it is Tolkien?s fantasy that?s putting the self-proclaimed ?airline of Middle Earth? in the spotlight right now.

Travel industry analyst Henry Harteveldt said Air New Zealand's "Hobbit" efforts are the most impressive movie marketing tie-ins he?s seen any airline do.

?Short-term, this will probably benefit the movie more than the airline, at least as far as North American passengers are concerned,? said Harteveldt, co-founder of the Atmosphere Research Group.

?Long-term, this marketing tie-in should help Air New Zealand successfully increase interest in visiting the country among travelers.?

The airline?s biggest challenge is the physical distance between the U.S. and New Zealand, he added. Travelers often balk at such a long and expensive flight, but ?Hobbit? fans inspired to book movie-related tours may be undaunted by those factors, Harteveldt said. New Zealand?s tourism industry is eager to repeat the boost in visitors it saw after the ?Lord of the Rings? trilogy.

Wellington, New Zealand, will host the global premiere of ?The Hobbit:?An Unexpected Journey? on Nov. 28. The movie debuts in the U.S. on Dec. 14.

Pakistan condemns Israeli 'aggression' in Gaza

ISLAMABAD (AP) ? Pakistan's foreign minister has condemned what he calls Israel's "aggression" against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Hina Rabanni Khar spoke Wednesday ahead of a summit for eight developing countries in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad.

Pakistan's state-run news agency carried a government statement saying the conflict in Gaza will likely be a hot topic in discussions between Pakistani leaders and those visiting for the D-8 summit, which will be held on Thursday.

Pakistan has said participants will include Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Senior leaders from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia and Nigeria will also attend.

Egyptian officials have said Egypt, Iran and Turkey will also meet on the sidelines of the summit to discuss the conflict in Syria.
