Osteopathic manipulative treatment for pneumonia

Osteopathic Medicine and Primary Care — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100

The pneumonias due to infection continue to be a meaningful threat to the health and viability of persons, particularly those in high risk groups: children, the aged and the debilitated. Noll and colleagues provide us with the results of a well-designed and well- executed multi-institutional controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in the treatment of pneumonia. The data obtained indicate that by intention-to-treat analysis, the addition of OMT to conventional care did not improve the designated outcomes when compared to conventional care only. A disappointing but important finding. However, by per-protocol analysis, the addition of OMT or of light touch decreased length of hospital stay, the duration of intravenous antibiotics and the ...

The privilege of serving a year as president of the Central Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is accompanied by the prerogative of selecting both the theme of the Annual Scientific Meeting and the topic for the presidential address. Topics traditionally have ranged from historical to scientific to futuristic to self-reflective. After nearly a quarter century as chair of an academic department of obstetrics and gynecology, I find myself more and more drawn to topics that are vitally important to successful career development but which formal education traditionally either neglects or omits entirely.

UCLA–Veterans Affairs team develops new tool to help guide pancreatic cyst treatment

UCLA Newsroom: Health Sciences — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 08:00:00 +0100

As a result of improved imaging technology, pancreatic cysts are increasingly diagnosed in asymptomatic individuals who undergo scans for other reasons. And while most of these cysts follow a benign course, a small but significant number are either malignant at the time of diagnosis or have the potential to develop into pancreatic cancer during a patient's lifetime. The dilemma for both patient and clinician is determining which cysts to leave alone and which to surgically remove. Existing treatment guidelines don't clearly address many treatment options beyond the removal of part of the pancreas — a major undertaking for an asymptomatic lesion. Now, a UCLA–Veterans Affairs research team has developed an evaluation tool to help guide asymptomatic pancreatic ...

The impact of gender and parenthood on physicians' careers - professional and personal situation seven years after graduation

BMC Health Services Research — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100

Conclusion: The results of the present study reflect socially-rooted gender role stereotypes. Taking into account the feminization of medicine, special attention needs to be paid to female physicians, especially those with children. At an early stage of their career, they should be advised to be more proactive in seeking mentoring and career-planning opportunities. If gender equity in terms of career chances is to be achieved, special career-support measures will have to be provided, such as mentoring programs, role models, flexitime and flexible career structures.

Career development resource for plastic and reconstructive surgery

American Journal of Surgery — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:28:36 +0100

Abstract: Plastic surgery is a broad-based discipline with emphasis on areas such as breast, craniomaxillofacial, burn, aesthetic, and hand surgery as well as complex wounds and wound healing. Plastic surgery as a specialty captures a great deal of media attention over many other fields of medicine, so education, training, and credentialing have become an area of national interest. The purpose of this article was to provide information on the organization, basic requirements for training, fellowship, and volunteer opportunities within the specialty.

Assessing the Efficacy of the AAS Fundamentals of Research and Career Development Course Overseas

Journal of Surgical Research — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:42:03 +0100

In this study, we assessed the efficacy of the FRCDC content in a West African setting. Our hypothesis was that despite significant cultural differences, the FRCDC would provide a beneficial training opportunity for prospective academic surgeons when exported to developing countries. Methods: A pre-test consisting of 20 questions was created and distributed to the attendees of the FRCDC prior to the initiation of the course. The questions were fashioned directly from the lectures to be given by the course faculty. The same 20 questions were then administered as a post-test at the conclusion of the 2 day course after the being reordered randomly. Attendees were assigned a number on the pre-test questionnaire and asked to provide the number on the post-test questionnaire. The questionnaires ...

Mentoring Global Dual-Career Couples: A Social Learning Perspective

Journal of Applied Social Psychology — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100

This paper explores the dimensions and means to implement a global dual-career expatriate couple mentoring program. The rationale is that learning from an experienced mentor mitigates the complexity of global assignments, leading to more successful completion of overseas assignments. We explored the impact of such mentoring programs on "nontraditional" global managers, along with their trailing spouses. Social learning theory was used as the foundation for the development of such a mentoring program. To add to the contextual understanding of global assignments imposed on global dual-career couples, we explored the effectiveness of mentoring by investigating temporal (before, during, after expatriation) and gender-related dimensions. Further, we analyzed the level of mentor involvement (per...

Trends in Self-Rated Health Among Nurses: A 4-Year Longitudinal Study on the Transition From Nursing Education to Working Life

Journal of Professional Nursing — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0100

This study found a small but significant and continuous decline in SRH among nurses during 3 years of follow-ups, starting from their last semester of nursing education and continuing 3 years into their working life. The most pronounced decline in SRH seems to occur in the transition between student life and working life and is most explicit among the youngest nurses. However, the long-term effect on SRH when entering into working life seems to be more pronounced among the older nurses. (Source: Journal of Professional Nursing)
