A patient enters a hospital room, sits down and begins talking to a doctor. Except in this case the doctor is a hologram.It might sound like science fiction, but it's reality for some patients at Crescent Regional Hospital in Lancaster, Texas.In May, the hospital group began offering patients the ability to see their doctor remotely as a hologram through a partnership with Holoconnects, a digital technology company based in the Netherlands.Each Holobox, the company’s name for its 440-pound, 7-foot-tall device that displays a highly realistic live 3D video of a person on a screen, costs $42,000, with an additional $1,900 annual service fee.The high-quality image gives the patient the sensation that a doctor is sitting inside the box, when in reality the doctor is miles away looking int...

Il problema, in realtà, si riduce a una sola parola. Sfortunatamente, quella parola, la parola chiave in tutto questo, non è una che può essere usata qui. Ma lo sai. È un aggettivo, un sostantivo, un verbo e il più delle volte un'esclamazione. Potresti dirla quando ti sbatti l'alluce, o rovesci una tazza di caffè, o ti rendi conto di aver premuto accidentalmente "Rispondi a tutti".Oppure, se sei Gary Lineker, potresti usare la parola in un podcast per descrivere una prestazione dell'Inghilterra al campionato europeo. In questo caso, quella che la squadra ha offerto nel suo soporifero pareggio con la Danimarca, ma potrebbe anche essere stata applicata a gran parte della vittoria contro la Serbia e allo stallo con la Slovenia.Ridotto ai suoi elementi essenziali, quindi, potrebbe ...

As negotiations to end the long legal battle between WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and the United States reached a critical point this spring, prosecutors presented his lawyers with a choice so wild that one person involved thought it sounded like a line from a Monty Python movie.“Guam or Saipan?”It wasn't a joke. He had been told that his path to freedom would pass through one of two American islands in the blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean.Mr. Assange, who feared lifelong imprisonment in the United States, had long insisted on a condition of any plea deal: never to set foot in the country. The U.S. government, in turn, had required Mr. Assange to plead guilty to a felony for violating the Espionage Act, which required him to appear before a federal judge.In April, a lawyer from t...

A heart surgeon, a former Tehran mayor and a cleric implicated in the execution of political prisoners are among six candidates approved by authorities to run in Iran’s election on Friday to replace the president who died in a helicopter crash last month.Candidates renounced the application of hijab in Iran. They addressed American sanctions that have contributed to the country's struggling economy, and openly criticized the government during a series of debates, an unusual move in Iranian politics. However, voter apathy in the country is high and divisions among conservative leaders make it difficult to predict the outcome.Although Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, has ultimate authority over major state issues, the president sets domestic policy and can influence foreign pol...
