Six Decades of Philatelic Vignettes: In Honor of Dr Robert A. Kyle ’s Contributions to Medicine and Stamps
In philately, the “vignette” is the central design or picture of a postage stamp—distinct from the lettering and from any framing. This term was first used by book publishers. It is a diminutive of the French word vigne (vine), since foliage motifs including grapes and vines were once the most common printed de signs used to fill in blank spaces in books, and to denote the beginning and end of chapters. “Vignette” acquired a variety of other meanings in different fields from theater to graphic design.

Politicization and the Role of Societal-Level Drivers Affecting Health Care Workforce Well-Being
Considerable attention to health care worker (HCW) well-being was present before the COVID pandemic as the prevalence of HCW and learner distress became more apparent and robust.1 During the COVID-19 emergency, health care systems needed to considerably adjust their priorities, and for a brief period, it seemed as if the growing attention to HCW well-being might recede in the wake of competing demands. However, in recognition of the considerable psychological burden that working during the pandemic exerted on the health care workforce,2 it is now apparent that continued attention is absolutely warranted.
