Persistent service even in disruptive times: an introduction to resilience engineering.

Building resilient libraries will take energy and courage. It will take a willingness to step outside our traditional roles and engage in the messy, tough work of redefining ourselves and our institutions [1].

Promoting Health Data Fluency Skills by Expanding Data and Informatics Work in Libraries: The Role of a Health Library Informaticist.

Health sciences libraries offer core resources and services to expand the knowledge and efficiencies of their communities. Increasingly with the growth of big data, open data, and electronic health records, clinical and translational researchers must be more fluent in finding, manipulating, managing, visualizing, and sharing data. To meet such needs, libraries are increasingly creating roles to educate and collaborate on topics related to health informatics and health data.

Health sciences library leadership skills in an interprofessional landscape: a review and textual analysis.

Academic medical libraries sit at the crossroads of the complex landscape of the health sciences. Medical librarians in these environments must navigate and lead endeavors and services that involve many professions. In addition to being excellent leaders in their own professions, medical librarians must also improve their skills in leading in an interprofessional context by informing themselves of the qualities and skills valued in connected professions.

The Relationship between Croup and Gastroesophageal Reflux: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: The mechanism by which recurrent croup occurs is unknown. Gastroesophageal reflux is commonly implicated, although this relationship is only loosely documented. We conducted a systematic review with a meta-analysis component to evaluate the relationship between recurrent croup and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and to assess for evidence of improvement in croup symptoms when treated.

"Game on!" Teaching gamification principles for library instruction to health sciences information professionals using interactive, low-tech activities and design-thinking modalities.

Background: Gamification is correlated with increased motivation and engagement of learners and is increasingly being incorporated into library instruction. Opportunities for librarians to learn and practice principles of gamification can be helpful for those desiring to incorporate gamification into instruction. This report describes the development and delivery of an interactive special content session at MLA '18, the 2018 Medical Library Association annual meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, focusing on principles of low-tech game design for health sciences library classroom instruction.

Extending medical librarians' competencies to enhance collection organisation.

Background: Like many health library associations, the Medical Library Association (MLA) developed competencies guiding lifelong learning and competence for medical librarians. Medical librarians should be able to develop skills in identified areas. One MLA indicator of organising resources defines expert skill as the ability to develop classification and metadata schemes for unique collections.

Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Neonatal Intensive Care: A Systematic Review.

Context: Racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes of newborns requiring care in the NICU setting have been reported. The contribution of NICU care to disparities in outcomes is unclear.

Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the literature documenting racial/ethnic disparities in quality of care for infants in the NICU setting.

A systematic review of strategies to increase drinking-water access and consumption among 0- to 5-year-olds.

The objective of this study is to identify promising strategies for improving drinking-water access and consumption among children aged 0 to 5 years. MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, ERIC, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases were searched in this review. Studies included peer-reviewed, full-text studies from high-income countries, published in English between January 1, 2000, and January 12, 2018, that evaluated interventions to increase water access or consumption in children aged 0 to 5 years.

A scoping review of military veterans involved in the criminal justice system and their health and healthcare.

Background: In the criminal justice system, special populations, such as older adults or patients with infectious diseases, have been identified as particularly vulnerable to poor health outcomes. Military veterans involved in the criminal justice system are also a vulnerable population warranting attention because of their unique healthcare needs. This review aims to provide an overview of existing literature on justice-involved veterans' health and healthcare to identify research gaps and inform policy and practice.

Reporting and Categorization of Blood Culture Contaminants in Infants and Young Children: A Scoping Review.

Background: Blood cultures are obtained routinely for infants and young children for the evaluation for serious bacterial infection. Isolation of organisms that represent possible contaminants poses a management challenge. The prevalence of bacteremia reported in this population is potentially biased by inconsistent contaminant categorization reported in the literature.

The physical deterioration of dialysis patients-Ignored, ill-reported, and ill-treated.

The progressive physical deterioration of dialysis patients is apparent to all who are involved in their care. Exercise can help stem this decline, yet exercise uptake in chronic and end-stage kidney disease is low. The involvement of exercise professionals has been shown to significantly increase patients' physical function and improve their quality of life.

Practising evidence-based medicine (EBM): a descriptive analysis of medical students' whole-task EBM assignments.

Researchers have suggested whole-task learning activities to practice and teach evidence-based medicine (EBM); however, limited description exists of their use in EBM curricula. This article describes medical students' execution of a whole-task EBM assignment and characterises themes emerging from assignment submissions. Between 2013 and 2015, Stanford University's paediatric clerkship students completed a whole-task EBM assignment based on a patient encounter.

Extensor tendon gap reconstruction: a review.

Background: The extensor tendons of the hand are located in a superficial position on the dorsal aspect of the hand and are highly susceptible to injury. Laceration, crush and avulsion injuries are common extensor tendon injuries presenting for acute care. Such injuries that involve tendon loss or gaps in the extensor tendons require specialised attention and can be some of the most challenging to repair, as extensor tendons have less excursion than flexor tendons.

Deepithelized posterior interosseous artery flap for 3-dimensional defect coverage in the hand.

The posterior interosseous artery (PIA) flap is a pedicle flap that can be harvested at the posterior forearm based on blood supply from the PIA and its concomitant veins. The flap can be used for posttrauma coverage of exposed bones, tendons, and defects; for treatment of a surgical wound; or as a spacer in congenital or burn-related contracture releases. The surgical technique has been reported with limited donor morbidity and few complications to cover exposed structures.

Hand infections: a retrospective analysis.

Purpose. Hand infections are common, usually resulting from an untreated injury. In this retrospective study, we report on hand infection cases needing surgical drainage in order to assess patient demographics, causation of infection, clinical course, and clinical management.

Zone I extensor reconstruction with tendon salvaged from another finger.

Laceration, crush, and avulsion injuries are common acute extensor tendon injuries. Simple lacerations may often be repaired in the emergency room, but crush or avulsion injuries may involve tendon loss and gaps in the extensor tendons. Reconstruction can be difficult.

Hypotheses for ongoing evolution of muscles of the upper extremity.

There are organs and muscles in the human body that may be considered rudimentary in that they have insignificant or undetermined function. Several such muscles are found in the upper extremity. In this review, four muscles that appear to be undergoing evolutionary changes are discussed: flexor digitorum superficialis to the fifth finger, anconeus, palmaris longus, and anconeus epitrochlearis.

Management of gunshot wounds to the hand: a literature review.

Hand trauma resulting from firearms is becoming more common in civilian life. In the past, as in wartime, infection was a main source of concern following firearm-related hand injuries, whereas in current civilian life with modern medical care, infection rates are actually low for such injuries. As infection is now of lesser concern, the focus should shift to improve functional outcomes.
