Video otoscopy: bringing otoscopy out of the "black box".

Authors:
Woodson Scott Jones

Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol 2006 Nov 9;70(11):1875-83. Epub 2006 Aug 9.

Department of Pediatrics, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), San Antonio Military Pediatric Center, 2200 Bergquist Dr. STE1, Lackland AFB, San Antonio, TX 78236, United States.

Background: Several billion dollars are spent each year on otitis media, a diagnosis for which educational approaches and diagnostic skills are suboptimal. The Center for Disease Control has identified improvement in otoscopy skills as a key intervention to curb inappropriate antibiotic usage. Educators are looking for interventions to both improve and assess otoscopy skills. Video otoscopy (VO) uses endoscopic technology to project the image of the ear onto a monitor for all to see, offering unexplored educational opportunity. The objective of this study is to perform an evaluation of VO systems in medical education from a review of the literature and hands-on experience of available technology.

Methods: The evaluation will focus on the technical acceptability (user requirements), clinical appropriateness (validity, reliability, feasibility), operational effectiveness (training requirements and implementation), and equipment selection.

Results: The technical requirements in pediatric education exceed those available in some VO systems, specifically pneumatic capability, sophisticated cameras and optics, and pediatric-sized ear speculums. VO images are comparable to the conventional otoscopic and otomicroscopic examinations. VO is feasible in a primary care setting and can be integrated into resident and medical student education. The technology in VO systems is changing rapidly, necessitating comparison of systems before equipment is purchased.

Conclusions: VO is technically acceptable, clinically appropriate and can be integrated into the otoscopic education of residents and medical students. VO provides an opportunity to bring the pediatric ear examination out of the "black box," potentially improving diagnostic skills, quality of care, and reducing antibiotic overuse.

How empowering leadership influences medical workers' work-family conflict in the post-pandemic era: A moderated mediation model of leadership "black box".

Authors:
Haiming Zhou Xinping Song Laitan Fang Kan Shi Ronghui Liu

Front Psychol 2022 28;13:870753. Epub 2022 Jul 28.

School of Economic and Management, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.

After experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic, the status and mechanisms of leadership, and the challenges for medical workers in terms of family-work conflicts, have caused widespread concern. In the post-pandemic era, based on role theory and the stressor-detachment model, this paper seeks to break the "black box" of negative effects that can be caused by leadership, research the mechanism and boundary conditions of those negative effects, and explore factors to reduce those negative effects. We recruited 1,010 Chinese medical workers fighting COVID-19 on the frontline. Read More

Effect of post-operative oral steroids on bleeding rate after pediatric tonsillectomy.

Authors:
Benjamin P Stevens Oishika Paul Matthew C Donald Joseph M Berry Jeffrey D Carron

Am J Otolaryngol 2022 Aug 9;43(5):103595. Epub 2022 Aug 9.

University of Mississippi Medical Center, Department of Otolaryngology and Communicative Sciences, 2500 North State Street, Jackson, MS 39216, United States of America.

Purpose: In 2013, the FDA placed a black box warning on the usage of opioid pain medications in the post-operative setting after pediatric adenotonsillectomy. Since then, alternative pain management regimens have been employed. Some have advocated for post-operative oral steroids, in part due to the effectiveness of intraoperative intravenous steroids in reducing post-operative pain and nausea. Read More

Department of Business Administration, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju, South Korea.

Stakeholder interest in the accuracy of Environment Social and Governance (ESG) data and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) authenticity has increased, as more companies are disclosing their ESG data. Employees are one of the most important stakeholders of a company, and they have access to more CSR information than other external stakeholders. Employees have a dual role of observing and participating in CSR. Read More

Finding the key to the black box of board diversity and firm performance: A mediating effect analysis of technological innovation.

Authors:
He Di Jiaji An Meifang Yao

Front Psychol 2022 26;13:914215. Epub 2022 Jul 26.

School of Business and Management, Jilin University, Changchun, China.

A growing body of research has focused on the relationship between board diversity and firm performance. A series of empirical literatures have also examined a significant positive correlation between the two. But these results only demonstrate the relationship between the input of 'diversity' and the output of 'firm performance'. Read More
