Interview assignment is an issue of importance to all health care administration programs containing internships and residencies. More generally, many master's and doctoral level educational programs in social work, clinical psychology, and other health fields are faced with the interview assignment problem. We present a linear programming approach, which has been employed at the Baruch College/Mt. Sinai School of Medicine Graduate Program in Health Care Administration, for determining optimal internship/residency-interview assignments. Specifically, a capacitated transportation model, with the objective of maximizing the overall utility of the interview assignments, was implemented. This research is intended to demonstrate to academic program directors dealing with such problems the value of this objective method and to assist educators in their efforts to optimize the student internship/residency placement process at their various institutions.

In situations where the sufferer is in control of a motor vehicle, syncope can lead to accidents involving death and injury. In the medico-legal setting, cough syncope can be a contested cause of such accidents.

Department of Midwifery, University of West Attica, Athens, Greece.
Background: The increasing awareness of the emotional consequences of emergency cesarean deliveries (C-sections) highlights their substantial role in fostering postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the prevalence and determinants of PTSD following emergency C-sections, as well as the implications of these events on maternal mental health and welfare.
Methods: Undertaking extensive searches of Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar, we have incorporated studies published from 2013 onwards that examined the occurrence of PTSD following emergency C-sections.
Sarcolemma resilience and skeletal muscle health require O-mannosylation of dystroglycan.

Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, and Department of Neurology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Senator Paul D. Wellstone Muscular Dystrophy Specialized Research Center, Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, USA.
Background: Maintaining the connection between skeletal muscle fibers and the surrounding basement membrane is essential for muscle function. Dystroglycan (DG) serves as a basement membrane extracellular matrix (ECM) receptor in many cells, and is also expressed in the outward-facing membrane, or sarcolemma, of skeletal muscle fibers. DG is a transmembrane protein comprised of two subunits: alpha-DG (α-DG), which resides in the peripheral membrane, and beta-DG (β-DG), which spans the membrane to intracellular regions.
