The pandemic has required creative and agile teamwork and leadership. Creativity was especially necessary when employing the social distancing requirements for this disease. To ensure compliance while also meeting the needs of our system and community, a huge telemedicine initiative was deployed. Administrative leadership utilized ad hoc teams to overcome challenges and ensured success with a shared vision, clarity, communication, and a positive culture. This article outlines how the team was developed, what challenges the team faced, and how they were successful in the unchartered waters of a COVID-19 response. Finally, best practices are shared for inconsistent teams in an inconsistent setting, ensuring success within an ad hoc team residing in a fluid environment.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) exhibits notable sex differences in prevalence and clinical and neurobiological manifestations. Though the relationship between peripheral inflammation and MDD-related brain changes is well studied, the role of sex as a modifying factor is underexplored. This study aims to assess how sex influences brain and inflammatory markers in MDD.

Background: Safety in cardiac surgical procedures is predicated on effective team dynamics. This study associated operative team familiarity (ie, the extent of clinical collaboration among surgical team members) with procedural efficiency and Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) adjudicated patient outcomes.
Methods: Institutional STS adult cardiac surgery registry and electronic health record data from 2014 to 2021 were evaluated across 3 quaternary hospitals.

After natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, or wars occur, cellular communication networks often sustain significant damage or become impaired. In these critical situations, first responders must coordinate with other rescue teams to communicate essential information to central command and survivors. To address this challenge, we have developed a reliable and rapidly deployable wireless ad hoc system for post-disaster management using Data Distribution Service (DDS) middleware, specifically RTI-DDS, named R-RDSP.

Objectives: Elevated lumbar multifidus stiffness has been observed in populations with chronic low back pain (LBP). However, the modulation of deep (DLM) and superficial (SLM) lumbar multifidus stiffness, considering their distinct structural characteristics and functions, remains unaddressed, especially in athletes. This study aimed to compare differences in DLM and SLM stiffness in professional athletes from different sports with and without chronic LBP.

With increased patient volumes and complexity, stroke occurrence in hospitalized patients has become relatively more common. The process of activating a code stroke in-hospital differs in many institutions. An emergency team-based response to inpatient acute code stroke is warranted, with many protocols modeled similarly to the cardiac arrest response.
