Fatigue that is related to the amount and quality of sleep obtained can impair human performance in ways that can lead to accidents. As many transportation industries operate around the clock, fatigue and its effects cannot be eliminated completely; instead, they must be managed. A first step is to document the prevalence and role of fatigue in accidents that occur. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) routinely investigates such transportation industry incidents to determine if fatigue was present, if it played a role, and if there were practices in place to effectively manage it and associated risks. Herein, we summarize and describe the TSB's fatigue investigation methodology in the hopes that investigators of other organizations and domains will find the concepts applicable to their operational context.Pediatricians' communication behavior affects a variety of outcomes in both children and their parents. This study analyzes how speech complexity and interruptions as indicators of accommodative behaviors relate to parental recall of medical information and to their satisfaction with the medical encounter. We recruited 19 pediatricians and 68 parents at pediatric inpatient and outpatient consultations in two Swiss clinics. All medical interactions were videotaped and transcripts were analyzed to assess pediatricians' speech complexity and interrupting behavior was coded from the videos. At the end of the encounter, parents rated their satisfaction with the medical encounter and were probed regarding their recall of medical information. Our results show recall of medical information to be unrelated to pediatricians' speech complexity and negatively associated with their interrupting behavior for parents who report low positive mood. We also found less educated parents to report lower satisfaction when pediatricians employed more complex language. Furthermore, parental satisfaction was negatively associated with pediatricians' interrupting behavior, especially when displayed by male pediatricians. Overall, these findings suggest that pediatricians' speech complexity and interruptions indicate a nonaccommodative stance reducing advantageous parent outcomes.Nearly all animal cells contain proteins evolved to trigger the destruction of the cell in which they reside. The activation of these proteins occurs via sequential programs, and much effort has been expended in delineating the molecular mechanisms underlying the resulting processes of programmed cell death (PCD). These efforts have led to the definition of apoptosis as a form of nonimmunogenic PCD that is required for normal development and tissue homeostasis, and of pyroptosis and necroptosis as forms of PCD initiated by pathogen infection that are associated with inflammation and immune activation. While this paradigm has served the field well, numerous recent studies have highlighted cross talk between these programs, challenging the idea that apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis are linear pathways with defined immunological outputs. Here, we discuss the emerging idea of cell death as a signaling network, considering connections between cell death pathways both as we observe them now and in their evolutionary origins. We also discuss the engagement and subversion of cell death pathways by pathogens, as well as the key immunological outcomes of these processes.A snapshot of noteworthy recent developments in the patent literature of relevance to pharmaceutical and medical research and development.Percutaneous coronary intervention is the most common mode of revascularization and is increasingly undertaken in high-risk subsets, including the elderly. The presence of coronary artery calcification is increasingly observed and significantly limits technical success. The mechanisms for this are multi-factorial, including increased arterial wall stiffness and impaired delivery of devices, leading to suboptimal stent delivery, deployment, and expansion which are harbingers for increased risk of in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis. Although conventional balloon pretreatment techniques aim to mitigate this risk by modifying the lesion before stent placement, many lesions remain resistant to conventional strategies, due to the severity of calcification. There have been several substantial technological advancements in calcium modification methods in recent years, which have allowed improved procedural success with low periprocedural complication rates. This review will summarize the current adjunctive modification technologies that can be employed to improve technical outcomes in percutaneous coronary intervention in calcific disease and the evidence supporting these tools.Background Because of a nonresponse to aspirin (aspirin resistance), patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are at increased risk of developing recurrent event. The in vitro platelet function tests have potential limitations, making them unsuitable for the detection of aspirin resistance. We investigated whether miR-19b-1-5p could be utilized as a biomarker for aspirin resistance and future major adverse cardio-cerebrovascular (MACCE) events in patients with ACS. Methods and Results In this cohort study, patients with ACS were enrolled from multiple tertiary hospitals in Christchurch, Hong Kong, Sarawak, and Singapore between 2011 and 2015. MiR-19b-1-5p expression was measured from buffy coat of patients with ACS (n=945) by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Platelet function was determined by Multiplate aggregometry testing. MACCE was collected over a mean follow-up time of 1.01±0.43 years. DASA-58 mw Low miR-19b-1-5p expression was found to be related to aspirin resistance as could be observed from sustained platelet aggregation in the presence of aspirin (-Log-miR-19b-1-5p, [unstandardized beta, 44.50; 95% CI, 2.20-86.80; P less then 0.05]), even after adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, and prior history of stroke. Lower miR-19b-1-5p expression was independently associated with a higher risk of MACCE (-Log-miR-19b-1-5p, [hazard ratio, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.23-2.80; P less then 0.05]). Furthermore, a significant interaction was noted between the inverse miR-19b-1-5p expression and family history of premature coronary artery disease (P=0.01) on the risk of MACCE. Conclusions Lower miR-19b-1-5p expression was found to be associated with sustained platelet aggregation on aspirin, and a higher risk of MACCE in patients with ACS. Therefore, miR-19b-1-5p could be a suitable marker for aspirin resistance and might predict recurrence of MACCE in patients with ACS.
