Background: Uncertain times require healthcare entities to demonstrate strong leadership, develop digitalisation, and respond to change in a creative and flexible manner. Based on emerging new institutional theory, we developed and tested a model of how digital transformational leadership (DTL) affects digital intensity (DI) among healthcare entities through the mediating role of organisational agility (OA). In this article, we also examine the moderating role of the country in the studied relationship.

The Son of Sevenless (SOS) protein family includes two highly homologous proteins, SOS1 and SOS2, that act as guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for RAS proteins. They catalyze the GDP-to-GTP exchange, resulting in an increase of the active GTP-bound form of RAS. Despite highly similar structures and expression patterns, SOS1 is generally accepted as the dominant RAS GEF for downstream signaling in pathological states.

Background: Effective and timely decongestion in acute heart failure (AHF) coupled with careful discharge planning is critical in the successful treatment of patients hospitalized for AHF. We leveraged an implementation science framework to develop a health system-wide diuretic management protocol (DMP) based on emerging clinical evidence.

Methods: We conducted stakeholder interviews using the Integrated Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (iPARiHS) Framework.

Background: Digital maturity can help primary care facilities enhance their processes, communication, and adaptability to change, thereby fostering trust and job involvement. This study aimed to examine the causal relationships between perceived environmental uncertainty, digital maturity, organizational trust, and job involvement among managers of primary care facilities in the UK. The researchers applied socio-technical theory to examine the consequences of technology implementation on work practices and utilized contingency theory to ensure long-term stability in primary care facilities.

Article Synopsis
  • It's crucial to rule out odontogenic origins for any pathologies in the hard palate, and cone-beam computed tomography is essential for diagnosis.
  • Small salivary glands in this area can give rise to both benign and malignant tumors, which may present as solid nodules with healthy-appearing mucosa.
  • The paper discusses a unique case of a traumatic neuroma in the palate, differentiating it from other possible tumors and emphasizing the importance of excisional biopsy for accurate diagnosis and treatment options.
