New York school adds visitor kiosk, wearable panic buttons

St. Christopher's School in Tonawanda, New York, has installed a visitor management kiosk and provided staff with wearable panic buttons as part of new security measures, according to a WKBW report. Visitors must check in at the kiosk and scan a driver's license before entering the school. Principal Denise Cronyn said the system checks the identification against local law enforcement databases, photographs the visitor and prints a badge containing the visitor's photo and reason for being at the school.

NY measles risk persists in schools in Elmira and Corning area

Students across New York are once again renewing old acquaintances , breaking in new backpacks and showing off freshly-purchased outfits. They also possess what state and local health officials say is among the most important back-to-school accessories − immunization against measles. As of Sept. 4, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 3,134 confirmed cases of measles in the country, the highest yearly total in decades. The New York State Department of Health reported 51 of those cases, most of them in the upstate counties of Tioga, Chenango, Allegany, Madison, Seneca and Steuben. According to the CDC , almost 98% of New York kindergartners last school year had received the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, among the highest in the nation. But a recent study by Cornell University warns families should still be aware of the risks of contracting the disease as infection rates continue to rise well above what they were at the end of last summer. Ana Bento, an assistant professor of disease ecology at Cornell, determined that state and county-level vaccine monitoring, the approach used across the country, misses pockets of measles risk in many parts of the state. Cornell's research published in August found vaccination

Buffalo Makers and UB Nursing Faculty Team Up on a 3D-Printed Arm That

Nursing students need to practice venipuncture, the skill of inserting a needle into a vein to draw blood, hundreds of times before they do it on a patient. The training arms they practice on are specialized commercial equipment, and sim-lab budgets only stretch so far. That practical teaching problem is what brought University at Buffalo School of Nursing faculty to 469 Franklin, a workspace and workshop on Franklin Street where members build real things for real users.
