In movies and on TV we often see surgeons turn on some music during a procedure, but does it actually improve the success-rate of the surgery in real life?

According to a new report in the British Medical Journal, music is played 62-72 percent of the time in the operating room (mostly classical), and roughly 80 percent of operating room staff say that music benefits cooperation between team members, reduces anxiety levels and improves efficiency. A surgeons task focus is also improved, according to the research.

Depending on how you work in your daily life, this might make total sense, or you might think that music would be distracting for such an important job. Surgeons from the University Hospital of Wales think music makes a big difference.

Surgeons will inevitably continue to use music as a calming and familiar adjunct to their daily practice, David Bosanquet, James Glasbey and Raphael Chavez wrote in the paper. We embrace music in the operating theater whenever the situation allows it.

Its not just music in general though relaxing music and melodies that mimic the resting heart rate are more effective during a procedure, even more than giving a patient certain anti-anxiety medications before anesthesia, according to a2009 study of 372 patients. Research suggests that this calming, positive affect makes a difference even after a patient leaves the operating room.

The Huffington Post pointed out some of the background behind this idea:

A growing body of research has also suggested that musics healing properties extend to pain relief. A 2012 study from the Pain Research Center at the University of Utahfound that participants who actively focused on various melodies while receiving mildly painful electric shocks reduced pain levels by 17 percent. Research conducted in Singapore also found that palliative care patients who participated in live music therapy reported relief from persistent pain.

Active music engagement allowed the patients to reconnect with the healthy parts of themselves, even in the face of a debilitating condition or disease-related suffering,the studys co-author, music therapist Melanie Kwan of the Association for Music Therapy, Singapore, told the American Psychological Association. When their acute pain symptoms were relieved, patients were finally able to rest.

The staff surveyed in the BMJ piece had some ideas for dos and donts on a surgeons playlist. (Clearly these folks had a sense of humor about the subject.)

YANGON, Myanmar, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Owners of a Yangon, Myanmar, bar who allegedly offended Buddha by depicting him in an advertisement in headphones will face charges this week.

The general manager of the V Gastro bar, New Zealand national Phillip Blackwood, and two business partners, Tun Thurein and Htut Lo Ko Lwin were charged last week under a Myanmar law outlawing words or images that could deliberately offend religion. In a Facebook advertisement for the bar, an image of Buddha is seen with DJ-styled headphones, his eyes closed and surrounded by garish colors and the term "Buddha.bar." The three were detained under broad and vaguely written section of Myanmar's penal code, and could receive two-year sentences.

Their arrest began with a complaint from the government's religious department.

The law has been commonly used to detain political prisoners, a 2009 report by the activist group Human Rights Watch said.

The bar owners replaced the advertisement with an apology saying, in part, the ad was "was never to cause offense to anyone or toward any religious group. Our ignorance is embarrassing for us and we will attempt to correct it by learning more about Myanmar's religions, culture and history."

While Buddha statues and images are common in Western culture, as fashion accessories or as garden decorations, Asian Buddhists regard such displays as blasphemous, Buddhism scholar Dr. Paul Fuller told Voice of America.

"I think we're seeing it (outrage over perceived blasphemy) more and more because these fundamentalist Buddhist movements are fostering a sense of Buddhist identity tied in with national identity. Buddhism has always had a very privileged place within the western romantic understanding."

It seems the first Buddhist mission to the West was led by Irish man Charles Pfoundes in 1889, as discovered in recent research by academics in Ireland and Japan. Up to this it was believed the earliest Buddhist mission in the West was to California in 1899.

Buddhism focuses on personal spiritual development and the attainment of enlightenment through the practice and development of morality and meditation. The Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, was born in present-day Nepal more than 2,500 years ago.

Pfoundes, born Charles James William Pounds in 1840 in or near Waterford city, is believed to be the earliest Irish Japanologist of note. His studies in Japan predated those of Irish/Greek scholar Lafcadio Hearn by more than 20 years.

Widely travelled

Dr Laurence Cox of Maynooth University, Prof Brian Bocking of UCC and Prof Yoshinga Shinichi of Maizuru National College of Technology in Japan have found that in 1889 Pfoundes became the official London representative of the Japanese Buddhist Propagation Society.

Pfoundes emigrated to Australia aged 14 and travelled widely before arriving in Japan. He became fascinated by Japanese customs and culture, was soon fluent in the language and changed his name to Pfoundes, reflecting the Japanese spelling of Pounds.

He was in London from 1879 to 1893, when he returned to Japan. He died there on December 2nd, 1907, in Kobe city. Today Prof Yoshinaga and Dr Cox will visit Pfoundes grave in Kobes foreigners quarter.

Shortly after Virat Kohli had skied an innocuous looking Nathan Lyon delivery and holed out to Mitchell Marsh at deep mid-wicket, excruciating memories of a famous test match loss (if you can call it famous) came rushing back. At Chepauk in 1999, while chasing 271 against Pakistan, Sachin Tendulkar had found himself in a similar predicament. Tendulkar, battling severe back spasms, took India perilously close to victory. After keeping out Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis for more than 400 deliveries and making a gutsy 136, Tendulkar lost focus. He failed to pick a Saqlain Mushtaq doosra,getting a leading edge that Akram gleefully accepted while running halfway back to the cover fence. Tendulkar, acccording to his teammates, did not come out for the post-match presentation ceremony because he was crying in the dressing room.

Kohli wasnt exactly crying after Indias narrow loss to Australia in Adelaide. He came out and was his eloquent self at the presentation ceremony. But the despondency was all too apparent. The match was over well before Brad Haddin dislodged the stumps of a bemused Ishant Sharma and put the finishing touches to a win that was inevitable. The moment Kohli lost his wicket after a valiant 141, the die was cast. The outcome was never in doubt. India had blown it.

Set a target of 364, half an hour post tea and there was only one team winning the test match. Murali Vijay was batting like a man who had just embraced Zen Buddhism and Kohli, as usual, was in his element, enthralling the crowd with eye-popping stroke play. Then all of a sudden, Vijay's concentration wavered and he was trapped in front by Lyon for 99. Ajinkya Rahane followed suit and fell to Lyon in the same over, thanks to some catastrophic umpiring by Marais Erasmaus. Then Rohit Sharma showed the world yet again why he will forever be tagged as someone who is just talented. After spending a good half hour at the crease poking at deliveries outside his off stump, and hopelessly trying to sweep Lyon on a pitch that was behaving less like the Adelaide Oval and more like a fifth day minefield at the Wankhede Stadium, Sharma made his exit. We might get lucky and see Sharmas talent in the next match.

So how do you lose a test match that youre firmly in control of? Well, you dont. Keeping out the Australians on a fifth day wicket that was deteriorating rapidly was always going to be difficult. However, Vijay and Kohli made the wicket look easy once they got in. Kohli, in particular, made scoring look effortless. The lack of application has been India's major problem on foreign tours over the last couple of years. This time was no different. Vijay and Kohlis exceptional work was undone in a matter of minutes, as the rest folded up putting up no resistance whatsoever. Only Wriddhiman Saha knows why he swung wildly on the final ball of a over that had yielded 15 runs, when saving the match should have been his first priority. Why Karn Sharma -- who came into this match having a decent reputation with the bat struggled to put bat to ball when his team needed it the most is another mystery that will take some solving.

From the attraction of a handsome test win to another insipid loss away from home Indias descent at Adelaide was swift and disquieting at the same time. But Kohli must take heart from the way India fought and came so close to victory in a match that was dominated by Australia for the most part. So where does India go from here? Kohli, for starters must get his team selection right. The Indian pace battery was far from imposing in Adelaide. Varun Aaron bowled quick, but was too wayward at times. Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami failed to pick up early wickets and gave away far too many runs. And Indias decision to play a rookie like Karn Sharma in the first test match of an important foreign tour was puzzling. Ravichandran Ashwins experience would have come in handy on a pitch that was turning square on days four and five. Moreover, his batting skills may have aided the team in chasing down the target set by Australia.

Players in the Indian dressing room have to start taking responsibility. Mahendra Singh Dhoni coming back for the second match will help. Throwing away a test match from a winning position is not the ideal way to start, but hopefully Brisbane will throw up something better.
