Vi siete mai chiesti perché le schermate a scorrimento di app e social network ricordino così tanto le slot machine? La verità è che gli smartphone sono progettati per massimizzare la quantità di tempo che passiamo con loro, stimolando la produzione di dopamina, sostanza legata al piacere, e innescando comportamenti di dipendenza. Basandosi sui più recenti studi scientifici, Catherine Price dimostra come gli smartphone mettano in atto un vero e proprio "hackeraggio" del nostro cervello. Questi accessori dall'aria innocua sono in realtà cavalli di Troia digitali imbottiti di trucchi manipolativi, pensati per spingerci ad abbassare la guardia così da potersi impossessare della nostra attenzione. E la nostra attenzione, per le società che gestiscono le piattaforme digitali, ha un valore economico enorme. Le conseguenze di quella che a tutti gli effetti è una dipendenza collettiva sono molteplici: gli smartphone uccidono la nostra capacità di attenzione, danneggiano la memoria a breve e a lungo termine e, di conseguenza, la nostra capacità di pensieri profondi. Ci rendono ansiosi, depressi e peggiorano la qualità del sonno, oltre a rovinare i nostri rapporti interpersonali. La buona notizia è che nulla, in questo processo, è irreversibile: bastano 4 settimane per interrompere la dipendenza, riappropriarci della nostra attenzione e riprendere possesso dell'esperienza di vivere.

Urogynaecological problems are one of the most common reasons that women are referred to the hospital services, and can account for up to a fifth of the gynaecological surgery waiting list at any time. Pelvic floor problems can have a huge impact on the patient's quality of life, and therefore should be managed appropriately. Compact, portable, and comprehensive, this new addition to the Oxford Specialist Handbooks in Obstetrics and Gynaecology series covers all aspects of pelvic floor function and dysfunction, and approaches to assessment and management in all compartments (the bladder, reproductive system, and bowel). Special chapters are dedicated to urogynaecological issues in pregnancy and childbirth, and also to the effects of age on the pelvic floor. Covering all material needed for those undertaking the RCOG Advanced Training Skills Module in Urogynaecology and Vaginal Surgery, this is an invaluable guide for both senior general trainees in Gynaecology, and subspecialty trainees in urogynaecology.
