LOS ANGELES — A computer prompt recommending appropriate antibiotic use based on a patient’s level of risk for a resistant infection cut the use of extended-spectrum antibiotics for abdominal infections by around one-third in a large trial.

Using a computer for 30 minutes significantly increased the frequency and severity of dry eye symptoms in individuals who had and had not undergone LASIK, according to a study published in Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics.

The average amount of time children spend watching television or using a computer or mobile device exceeds AAP recommendations, according survey data published in JAMA Pediatrics.
