Women faculty members' challenges when pursuing leadership positions in academic dentistry: A survey.

Purpose/objectives: This study addresses persistent gender disparities in leadership roles in academic dentistry. The objectives were to identify the challenges and barriers to leadership that women face in general and during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to describe resources they need to reach their leadership potential.

Methods: The American Dental Education Association Section on Women in Leadership (WIL), gathered survey data concerning leadership challenges and faculty development needs.

Variability of urban drainage area delineation and runoff calculation with topographic resolution and rainfall volume.

Designing green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) requires an accurate estimate of the contributing drainage area and a model for runoff generation. We examined some factors that add to the uncertainty associated with these two design steps in the urban environment. Delineated drainage areas at five GSI sites in southeastern Pennsylvania (PA) were compared for digital elevation model (DEM) resolutions (grid cell sizes) ranging from 8 to 300 cm.

Proactive Coaching in General Surgery Internship: Incorporating Well-being Practices into Resident Professional Life.

Objective: Coaching can provide learners with space to reflect on their performance while ensuring well-being and encouraging professional achievement and personal satisfaction outside of traditional mentorship and teaching models. We hypothesized that a proactive coaching program for general surgery interns coupled with individualized learning plans would help build foundational skills necessary for residency success and facilitate the incorporation of well-being practices into resident professional life. Here, we present the development, implementation, and outcomes of a novel well-being coaching program for surgical interns.

Executive Function as a Risk Factor for Incisor Trauma.

Background/aim: Executive function is the ability to guide behavior to achieve goals or complete tasks. This study explored the relationship between executive function, as assessed by the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function Parent Form Questionnaire (BRIEF ) and incisor trauma.

Material And Methods: This study included children in the mixed dentition with recent incisor trauma (n=28) and a control group (n=30) without recent incisor trauma.

Robot-assisted approach to 'W'-configuration urinary diversion: a step-by-step technique.

Objective: To describe a detailed step-by-step approach of our technique for robot-assisted intracorporeal 'W'-configuration orthotopic ileal neobladder.

Patients And Methods: Five patients underwent robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC), extended pelvic lymph node dissection and intracorporeal neobladder (ICNB). ICNB was divided into six key steps to facilitate and enable a detailed analysis and auditing of the technique.
