ConclusionAir ambulance personnel describe a team-based approach to adjust their level of commitment in medical evacuation and rescue missions. They rely on known, however important, nontechnical skills and organizational measures to combat overcommitment in demanding rescue situations. Some of their approaches to safe performance should be adoptable by other rescue units and less experienced voluntary, not-for-profit, rescue organizations.

Black Lives Matter: Moving from passion to action in academic medical institutions
J Natl Med Assoc. 2022 Jan 22:S0027-9684(21)00231-5. doi: 10.1016/j.jnma.2021.12.009.

As the visceral urgency of those galvanizing moments fade, organizations must move beyond releasing supportive statements and determining how they can live up to their stated values. To truly support Black lives, academic medical centers (AMCs) must commit to critically examine and improve the manner in which daily practices, culture, and context uplift Black students, health care professionals, and patients to achi...

CNS Summit 2017 Abstracts of Poster Presentations
Conclusion: This novel technology discriminates and quantifies subtle differences in behavior and neurological impairments in subjects afflicted with neurological injury/disease. KINARM assessments can be incorporated into multi-center trials (e.g., monitoring stroke motor recovery: NCT02928393). Further studies will determine if KINARM Labs can demonstrate a clinical effect with fewer subjects over a shorter trial period.
Disclosures/funding: Dr. Stephen Scott is the inventor of KINARM and CSO of BKIN Technologies.

(MCT)
Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue Chief Dave LaFave said he first met Liliya Zagariya as he does most of the people working with his fire department — over a conversation at a table in the station’s break room.
The 20-year-old’s positive attitude and big dreams to become a paramedic, despite the long and intensive path to get there, stood out to LaFave. Though she had only spent about eight months as a volunteer emergency medical technician with the department, she was quickly working her way into the Cowlitz 2 “family,” La...

Why Not Pot? A Review of the Brain-based Risks of Cannabis
Conclusion
Evaluating the potential harms of a commonly used drug—especially a complex substance like marijuana—is a challenging but vital task. Fully informed awareness of both the potential and proven benefits and the potential and proven harms of marijuana are necessary in order to have rational discussions with patients, teens, and decision makers regarding marijuana use. Based on a review of the current literature, we suggest the mnemonic DDUMB (dependence, driving, underachievement, mental illness, and “bad to worse”) as a tool that captures several of the more well-supported, brain-based risks associated wit...

Promoting sustainable community service in the 4th year of medical school: a longitudinal service-learning elective.
Conclusions: SERVE is a unique 1-year course that reengages 4th-year medical students in service to their communities in a structured educational environment.
