Effective teamwork has been shown to optimize patient safety. However, research centered on the critical inputs, processes, and outcomes of team effectiveness in emergency medical services (EMS) has only recently begun to emerge. We conducted a theory-driven qualitative study of teamwork processes-the interdependent actions that convert inputs to…[Read more]

ALARA, short for keeping the likelihood of incurring exposure, the number of people exposed, and the magnitude of their individual doses “as low as reasonably achievable, taking into account economic and societal factors”, is at the core of radiation protection. For many decades the principle has been area of continuous development, with recent…[Read more]

These results suggest that the circadian-arrhythmic SCN interferes with hippocampal memory encoding by fragmenting theta oscillations. SCN-lesioned animals can, however, compensate for the shortened theta episodes by increasing their frequency. Implications for rhythm coherence and theta sequence models of memory formation are discussed.Autoimmune…[Read more]
