Leadership Mindset with an Emphasis in EMS, Part Three
Conclusion “Half of what is taught in medical school is wrong, but nobody knows which half. –  Lucy Hornstein, MD.”15 The same could be said about leadership as well. Many leadership fads have been developed over time and may have had their place, but as times and trends change, so does leadership. As leaders in EMS, it’s crucial to adapt to the new generations of employees and identifying the best ways to work for and with them. The story of the blind men and the elephant is a good story to remember as leaders to say not all things that appear to be true necessarily are.    ...

Interventions for tobacco cessation delivered by dental professionals
CONCLUSIONS: There is very low-certainty evidence that quit rates increase when dental professionals offer behavioural support to promote tobacco cessation. There is moderate-certainty evidence that tobacco abstinence rates increase in cigarette smokers if dental professionals offer behavioural support combined with pharmacotherapy. Further evidence is required to be certain of the size of the benefit and whether adding pharmacological interventions is more effective than behavioural support alone. Future studies should use biochemical validation of abstinence so as to preclude the risk of detection bias. There is insuffic...

Use of psychotropic substances among elite athletes - a narrative review
CONCLUSION: Knowledge on the underlying causes and patterns of substance use, as well as the prevalence of substance use disorders in professional sports, is still limited. High prevalence of various substances (i.e., nicotine, prescription opioids) may indicate potentially harmful patterns of use, requiring further research. Specific preventive and therapeutic concepts for the treatment of substance use disorders in elite athletes should be developed.PMID:33638352 | DOI:10.4414/smw.2021.20412

Exploratory polarization facilitates mating partner selection in < em > Saccharomyces cerevisiae < /em >
Mol Biol Cell. 2021 Mar 10:mbcE21020068. doi: 10.1091/mbc.E21-02-0068. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTYeast decode pheromone gradients to locate mating partners, providing a model for chemotropism. How yeast polarize toward a single partner in crowded environments is unclear. Initially, cells often polarize in unproductive directions, but then they relocate the polarity site until two partners' polarity sites align, whereupon the cells "commit" to each other by stabilizing polarity to promote fusion. Here we address the role of the early mobile polarity sites. We found that commitment by either partner failed if just one pa...

Tenth Circuit Grants Qualified Immunity to Police Who Knowingly Violated the First Amendment
Jay SchweikertTheSupreme Court has repeatedly characterizedqualified immunity as protecting “all but the plainly incompetent or those who knowingly violate the law.” Even taken at face value, that standard of care isdepressingly low, especially with respect to law enforcement —i.e., the profession expressly charged with knowing and enforcing the law. But the Tenth Circuit’s recent decision inFrasier v. Evans illustrates how this oft-repeated maxim is itself highly misleading —because even when police officers do, in fact, know that they are violating someone’s rights, they can still receive qualified immunity.T...

Electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation
CONCLUSIONS: There is moderate-certainty evidence that ECs with nicotine increase quit rates compared to ECs without nicotine and compared to NRT. Evidence comparing nicotine EC with usual care/no treatment also suggests benefit, but is less certain. More studies are needed to confirm the size of effect, particularly when using modern EC products. Confidence intervals were for the most part wide for data on AEs, SAEs and other safety markers, though evidence indicated no difference in AEs between nicotine and non-nicotine ECs. Overall incidence of SAEs was low across all study arms. We did not detect any clear evidence of ...

Non-lesional treatment options for tremor in idiopathic Parkinson syndrome: a protocol for a systematic literature review
Introduction Idiopathic Parkinson syndrome (iPS) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders characterised by the triad of bradykinesia, rigidity and tremor. Tremor at rest predominantly at one side is often perceived by patients as severely disabling and yet ranges among the most difficult symptoms to treat. In medically refractory cases, lesional approaches have proven to be effective alternatives. However, to date, there is no comprehensive analysis of non-surgical therapies to manage iPS-patients’ tremor. We therefore present a detailed study protocol for a systematic literature review assessing efficac...

Gender Disparities Among Craniofacial Surgeons
Cleft Palate Craniofac J. 2022 Mar 29:10556656221089828. doi: 10.1177/10556656221089828. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo delineate career differences between genders of practicing plastic surgeons who have completed craniofacial fellowship given the known disparities in surgeons' professional and personal lives and an already lengthy residency training, there is concern that less women may commit to further fellowship training.Craniofacial fellowship programs were contacted to identify graduates and an internet search was attempted where information was not available. Surgeon profiles and literature databases were used to...
