The organizational comfort has been defined as the relationship between people and work environment. The supervisor's functions imply organizing and relation competences, listening and observation, communication and negotiation. Unfortunately, the reality is quite different: there are often situations of communication disorder between the supervisor and the worker, where the first, unaware of his role and responsibility, doesn't understand the worker's needs, doesn't communicate rightly the risk, doesn't develop any emphatic attitude and organize work without thinking to individual inclinations and limitations. The worker perceives this situation as increasing sensation of tiredness and working stress. The workers, often involved in this organization, have to ask overtime medical examinations to obtain some limitations. Observing this big increase of limitations in some firms with working people relatively young, we have decided to elaborate an experimental project involving both the occupational doctor and the psychologist. We analyzed the relations between the supervisor and the worker, with the aim to increase organizational comfort, through the diffusion of anonymous questionnaires or training courses about behaviour analyses and communication strategies, verifying any possible modifications of the organization after our intervention.

Background Prior to using the exoscope, we speculated that it represented an intermediate tool between a loupe and a microscope and had concerns about its visibility of deep, fine structures. Objective To evaluate the depths of meningioma for which the exoscope was suitable, and to clarify its disadvantages in meningioma resection. Methods Findings of consecutive meningioma surgeries using a 4K three-dimensional (3D) exoscope over a one-year period were evaluated for visibility of the surgical field, comfort of the surgeon's arm posture, the surgeon's head orientation, and perception of the image delay, accounting for the depth of the tumor.

Introduction: Medical simulation education has expanded in the remote learning sphere, providing educational opportunities to under-resourced areas and the ability to engage learners limited by time or geographic location. Pediatric resuscitation training has historically been in-person relying on Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) algorithms, yet many pediatric providers are often faced with treating adult or adult-sized patients. Our goal was to develop a tele-simulation remote learning module highlighting possible diagnoses and scenarios that require adult treatment-minded approaches for the pediatric clinician, including the use of Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) algorithms.

Objectives: The End-of-Life Dementia-Comfort Assessment in Dying (EOLD-CAD) scale is one of the few outcome instruments designed to capture symptom burden and well-being among nursing home residents with dementia; however, psychometric evaluations of the EOLD-CAD are limited. Although the instrument is often used to assess outcomes prospectively, it was originally developed and tested as a postmortem assessment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the instrument properties of the EOLD-CAD using staff reports from a large sample of nursing home residents with cognitive impairment prior to death.

Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a sensory phenomenon characterized by tingling sensations triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, offering a novel approach to anxiety reduction and relaxation. This review explores the therapeutic potential of ASMR in orthodontics by examining its physiological and psychological benefits, neuroscientific basis, and its potential to enhance patient comfort, manage dental anxiety, and improve communication within orthodontic practice. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to evaluate studies on ASMR's physiological, psychological, and clinical effects, focusing on ASMR-induced relaxation, patient-specific triggers, and its integration into orthodontic settings.
