A Taxonomy of Employee Motives for Telework.

This qualitative research contributes to the telework research literature by identifying and categorizing employee motives for teleworking. Motives for telework contextualize teleworking behavior, represent proximal telework outcomes, and serve as potential boundary conditions for telework-outcome relationships. Role identity theory (Burke & Tully (4), 881-897, 1977) and the uncertainty-reduction hypothesis (Hogg & Terry 121-140, 2000) suggest that motives may be driven by role salience and the ability to meet work and nonwork demands.

Sharpening the attack on non-small cell lung cancer.

Advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has long been a diagnosis with few treatment options and poor outcomes. However, recent discoveries about the molecular biology of NSCLC are changing the way it is treated. Driver mutations that cause uncontrolled cancer cell proliferation have been discovered in some types of NSCLC.

Recognizing and treating Meckel diverticulum.

Meckel diverticulum is an uncommon congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that usually remains asymptomatic throughout a patient's lifetime. However, these diverticula can cause complications such as GI bleeding and small bowel obstruction; complications occur mostly in children and are rare in adults. This article reviews the presentation, complications, and treatment options for symptomatic and incidentally found Meckel diverticula.

Short-term use of estradiol for depression in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women: a preliminary report.

Objective: The authors examined the effect of a 4-week course of estrogen therapy on depression in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women.

Method: Twenty-two depressed women who were either perimenopausal (N=10) or postmenopausal (N=12) received open-label treatment with transdermal 17beta-estradiol (100 micro g/day) for 4 weeks. The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory were used to assess depressive symptoms, the Greene Climacteric Scale was used to assess menopause-related symptoms, and the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) was used to assess global clinical improvement in these women at baseline and after treatment.

Efficacy of citalopram as a monotherapy or as an adjunctive treatment to estrogen therapy for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with depression and vasomotor symptoms.

Background: Women frequently report depressive and vasomotor symptoms during the menopausal transition. Hormone therapy has been shown to improve some of these symptoms, although its safety as a long-term treatment has been questioned. It is still unclear whether the use of antidepressants alone may alleviate menopause-related mood and vasomotor symptoms or enhance the response observed with short-term use of estrogen therapy.
