This paper presents initial information on the development and validation of three team task analysis scales. These scales were designed to quantitatively assess the extent to which a group of tasks or a job is team based. During a 2-week period, 52 male students working in 4-person teams were trained to perform a complex highly interdependent computer-simulated combat mission consisting of both individual- and team-based tasks. Our results indicated that the scales demonstrated high levels of interrater agreement. In addition, the scales differentiated between tasks that were predetermined to be individual versus team based. Finally, the results indicated that job-level ratings of team workflow were more strongly related to team performance than were aggregated task-level ratings of team-relatedness or team workflow. These results suggest that the scales presented here are an effective means of quantifying the extent to which tasks or jobs are team based. A research and practical implication of our findings is that the team task analysis scales could serve as criterion measures in the evaluation of team training interventions or predictors of team performance.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have emerged as the first-line treatment for driver-negative advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there is uncertainty regarding the availability and timing of ICI initiation in patients with NSCLC combined with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Additionally, the implementation of dual therapy for anti-TB and anti-tumor treatment poses significant challenges in terms of avoiding drug-drug interactions and reducing adverse reactions during clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Background The effect of surgeons' years of experience on the outcomes of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) repair has not yet been studied. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the surgeon's years in practice and the outcomes of ATAAD repair. Methods Surgical records of ATAAD repairs performed at Saga University Hospital between 2004 and 2020 were reviewed.

Chondrodysplasia punctata (CP) is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by punctate calcifications in areas of endochondral ossification, with Conradi-Hünermann-Happle syndrome (CDPX2) being the most common form. This study presents a clinical case of a 10-month-old female child, diagnosed with CDPX2 following a referral from a neonatology department of a secondary hospital center to a genetics consultation at a tertiary hospital center in Portugal. Despite normal prenatal monitoring, postnatal evaluations revealed typical manifestations of the syndrome, including nasomaxillary hypoplasia, macrocephaly, and skeletal abnormalities confirmed through imaging.

Although numerous definitions of brain death exist, the diagnosis and diagnostic process remain open to interpretation. We present the case of a 32-year-old male with systemic lupus erythematosus who presented to an outside hospital following a cardiac arrest while jogging. His electroencephalogram (EEG) showed abnormal contour in the posterior fields.

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is often severe, debilitating and difficult to treat. Recent randomised control trials (RCTs) of biologics that target key inflammatory pathways have demonstrated clinical efficacy in treating CRSwNP. Such RCTs must facilitate meta-analysis.
