Addressing ethics issues in healthcare is essential to living out an organization's mission, vision, and values. In addition to exacerbating existing ethical dilemmas, the COVID-19 pandemic raised many new and complex questions for leaders and their organizations. Ethical issues related to the workforce require a deliberate and comprehensive consideration of values. The case study scenarios presented here demonstrate examples of common ethical staffing challenges that healthcare leaders have faced, notably the allocation of care providers among COVID-19 patients and the balancing of care quality with staff and patient safety. With access to expert resources and a decision-making framework, leaders can build the moral muscle to meet these challenges and reach ethically justifiable resolutions. These staffing issues highlight the need for increased access to ethics resources for organizational leaders, including moral development support and assistance from experts to resolve complex ethical matters.

: Immunotherapy is gaining great relevance in both non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), with the use of bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), and in muscle-invasive BC (MIBC) with anti-checkpoint therapies blocking PD-1/PD-L1, CTLA-4/CD80-CD86, and, more recently, NKG2A/HLA-E interactions. Biomarkers are necessary to optimize the use of these therapies. : We evaluated killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and HLA-I genotyping and the expression of NK cell receptors in circulating T and NK lymphocytes at diagnosis in 325 consecutive BC patients (151 treated with BCG and 174 treated with other therapies), as well as in 648 patients with other cancers and 973 healthy donors as controls.

The study aimed to investigate the reliability, construct, and discriminant validity of the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire 3 (BREQ-3) for evaluating motivational regulations and self-determination for exercise in Brazilian adults aged 50 years or older. The study assessed motivation for exercise, peripheral muscle strength, physical performance, functional capacity, cardiovascular fitness, and frailty phenotype. Two raters independently applied the BREQ-3.

Background And Objectives: Mitochondrial diseases are caused by defects in oxidative phosphorylation, with primary mitochondrial myopathies (PMM) being a subset where muscle involvement is predominant. PMM presents symptoms ranging from exercise intolerance to progressive muscle weakness, often involving ocular muscles, leading to ptosis and progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO). PMM can be due to variants in mitochondrial or nuclear DNA.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) leads to a more rapid development of DM cardiomyopathy (dbCM) and progression to heart failure in women than men. Combination of high-fat diet (HFD) and freshly-injected streptozotocin (STZ) has been widely used for DM induction, however emerging data shows that anomer-equilibrated STZ produces an early onset and robust DM model. We designed a novel protocol utilising a combination of multiple doses of anomer-equilibrated STZ injections and HFD to develop a stable murine DM model featuring dbCM analogous to humans.

Anatomical knowledge is fundamental for all species. In particular, myology allows a deeper understanding of ecomorphology-especially for those species hard to observe in the wild-and may be an important source for phylogenetic information. In this study, we analyzed the myological variation of the musculature of the shoulder and arm of the forelimb in species of the suborder Feliformia and its relationship with the phylogenetic history and the locomotor behavior, habitat, and predatory habits of the species within this group, using Leopardus geoffroyi as a case study.
