I have long maintained that equipoise between empathy and the rational, decisive nature of obstetric care is central to good doctoring. I had exacting standards for how to communicate facts with feeling while shielding my own. Then, after experiencing my own obstetric emergency and preterm birth, this changed. In this reflection, I explore how recognizing the intersections between facts and feelings has made me a better physician.

Teamwork among health professionals is a requirement for the delivery of excellent medical care; effective teamwork leads to improved patient outcomes and greater job satisfaction for health care professionals. A critical component of successful teamwork is effective conflict management. While preliminary evidence suggests that many health care providers have negative perceptions of conflict and conflict-avoidant tendencies, no existing research to-date has explored veterinary students' perspectives on conflict.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) often coexists with anxiety disorders or symptoms, as identified by previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies. These studies have found abnormal amplitudes of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) in the amygdala, which serve as traits and state markers of MDD. This study used standardized weighted low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (swLORETA) technology to explore amygdala markers in patients with comorbid MDD and anxiety.

The idea of classifying and defining bruxism according to ontological principles may be interesting, but currently we just do not have enough information to label in a black or white manner the many facets of bruxism. In an era in which general knowledge on bruxism by the dental communities is surely in need of improvement, efforts to clarify the road map tracked by the current panelists who drafted the definition should be appraised carefully. The recent introduction of a standardized multidimensional evaluation system (i.
