In the Grip of Expertise.

Published: November 2016

Effective, collaborative leadership is one of the most credible and important predictors of team performance. This is relevant to us as surgeons because teamwork is now a common part of the vernacular in health care, we do not operate in a vacuum without a team, and we are well positioned to assume a leadership role on our teams. However, our standing as experts, our training and the way we were mentored, an insufficient concept of leadership as a process as opposed to a position, and inadequate nontechnical skills may disadvantage us as surgeons as collaborative members of teams. Liberation from the grip of expertise can be an inflection point for development.

Quantitative evaluation of hindlimb grip strength in mice as a measure of neuromuscular function.

MethodsX

June 2025

Regenerative Bioscience Center, Department of Animal and Dairy Science, College of Agricultural and Environmental Science, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, United States.

Muscle strength is a crucial metric for assessing motor function, with significant diagnostic and prognostic value. It is widely used in clinical and preclinical studies as a phenotypic indicator. In mouse models of neuromuscular disorders, grip strength provides a direct, repeatable measure of motor function changes throughout disease progression.

Biomarkers of ageing serve as important outcome measures in longevity-promoting interventions. However, there is limited consensus on which specific biomarkers are most appropriate for human intervention studies. This work aimed to address this need by establishing an expert consensus on biomarkers of ageing for use in intervention studies via the Delphi method.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies - which allow to look at large parts or even the whole genome at once - are making their way into diagnostic clinical care. With trends towards 'mainstreaming' genetic services into general medicine, significant ethical challenges, and a disputed clinical utility and cost-benefit ratio, genomic medicine's autonomy and dominance in defining and offering NGS care may come under increased pressure from the outside (e.g.
