Building off our operational model, we will discuss findings from our ethnographic study titled, "The Impact of Catastrophic Injury Exposure on Resilience in Special Operations Surgical Teams (SOST)," to establish that optimal family formations compose and coordinate momentum. We will use qualitative quotes to explore the constellation of various family formations. To achieve our goals, we will: 1) define the social determinant of family formations and provide background on how we merge family systems theory with military formations; 2) thematize various types of family formations that optimize or degrade unconventional resilience; and 3) relate tactical engagement with family formations to our metaphor of bag sets.

Purpose: Functional dysphagia is complex, affecting physical health as well as wellbeing. In this expert opinion paper with associated exemplar case series, we propose a framework for understanding functional dysphagia.
Method: A literature review of approaches to understanding and treating functional dysphagia are presented, moving beyond the predominant medical model to encompass psychosocial aspects of the condition.
In recent years several U.S. federal policies have been adopted to support forest-based climate mitigation actions.

Here we evaluated associations with resolution of STEMI on ED ECG.
Methods: In this secondary analysis of a previous retrospective study, adults (≥18 years) with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) following OHCA, at least 1 out-of-hospital and ED ECG and transport to the study hospital were entered.
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by variable, reversible airway obstruction and hyper-responsive airways. In the United States, it is estimated nearly 25 million adults and children have asthma with over 4 million being children. Despite national and global asthma management guidelines, 44% of children report poor asthma control, resulting in higher health care utilization, greater number of missed work/school days, and poorer quality of life, all contributing to the United States' economic burden of more than $80 billion annually.
