Observation is the throughline and synthesizing catalyst of the leadership learning framework (LLF). Observation serves as both a stimulus and clarifier through which all other LLF elements come together. This article explores the literature on both intentional and unintentional observational learning and how learners are socialized.

Staff must be educated on the signs of violence and escalation to recognize potentially dangerous situations early.

Bipolar disorder impacts millions of patients in the United States but the mechanistic understanding of its pathophysiology and therapeutics is incomplete. Atypical antipsychotic serotonin (5-HT) receptor antagonists, such as quetiapine and olanzapine, and mood-stabilizing voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) blockers, such as lamotrigine, carbamazepine, and valproate, show therapeutic synergy and are often prescribed in combination for the treatment of bipolar disorder. Combination therapy is a complex task for clinicians and patients, often resulting in unexpected difficulties with dosing, drug tolerances, and decreased patient compliance.

Background: In a recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we observed a nonsignificant reduction of attack frequency in cluster headache after pulse administration of psilocybin (10 mg/70 kg, 3 doses, 5 days apart each). We carried out a blinded extension phase to consider the safety and efficacy of repeating the pulse regimen.

Methods: Eligible participants returned to receive a psilocybin pulse at least 6 months after their first round of study participation.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluates two ultrasound techniques—static and dynamic—for confirming the depth of endotracheal tubes (ETT) after intubation, aiming to find a faster, more reliable method.
  • A randomized trial with seven blinded physicians used a cadaver model to assess diagnostic accuracy, identification time, and operator confidence in each technique.
  • Both techniques showed high sensitivity and specificity, but while the static technique was faster, the dynamic technique led to greater sonographer confidence despite the longer identification time.
