Challenges and Possible Solutions to Donation After Circulatory Death in Turkey and the Middle East: Panel Discussion Summary Report.

The 20th century has witnessed the development of tissue and organ transplantation as the best therapeutic option for end-stage organ failure; however, organ shortages remain a prominent worldwide issue. Donation after circulatory death is an accepted practice in several countries around the world but also poses many challenges. Presently, controlled donations after circulatory death are not really in practice in Turkey and the Middle East, and the implementation of this practice seems complicated. To gather information about the possible reasons underlying the lack of organs from donors after circulatory death, as well as solutions, a discussion session took place during the International Symposium on "Brain Death and Circulatory Death" on November 29-30, 2023, in Ankara, Turkey. A description on different topics that were discussed is presented.

Flexible work arrangements and their impact on women in radiology: RSNA 2021 panel discussion summary sponsored by AAWR and more

There is an ongoing trend in the direction of flexible work arrangements in which employees can decide where and when to work. Multiple studies have demonstrated a significant decrease in associated job-related stress, improved job satisfaction, job autonomy, and collaboration when flexible work arrangements exist. However, some have reported increased workload and home spillover to work.1 The American Association for Women in Radiology (AAWR) convened a panel of radiologist presenters with diverse backgrounds who shared their own experiences with flexible work arrangements at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2021 Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting. This manuscript summarizes the discussion and reviews various aspects of workplace flexibility.The RSNA 2021 AAWR-sponsored panel on workplace flexibility reviewed the current state of different work arrangements available for radiologists and addressed future strategies for implementing workplace flexibility. The panelists addressed the imperatives and key factors for the availability of diverse opportunities and ways to foster future opportunities. Matters discussed included differences in the availability of flexible work arrangements in the healthcare system compared to other industries, normalizing flexible work arrangements at the organization level, underutilization of currently available flexible work arrangements, part-time positions and stigma associated with them, thriving in a part-time capacity, workplace flexibility options for radiology residents and fellows and successfully implementing workplace flexibility at institutions. The panel ended with a call to action to develop toolkits with effective resources to support implementing flexible workplace opportunities.

Reducing Recurrence and Complications Related to Clostridioides difficile Infection: A Panel Discussion Summary.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identifies Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) as an urgent threat to people and health care systems. CDI leads to high health care utilizations and results in significantly reduced quality of life for patients. The high burden of disease is seen across all health care settings, outside of the hospital, in the community, and in younger people. Individuals with CDI transition from hospitals to long-term care facilities to the community, and management of these transitions can reduce the incidence of recurrence and rehospitalization. The most common cause of diarrhea occurring in a health care setting is Clostridioides difficile and is also the cause of antibiotic-associated colitis (L. C. McDonald, 2021). The infection results from a disruption in the microbial flora of the gastrointestinal tract, mostly after antibiotic use or other medications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). As a result, infected individuals are colonized and shed the spores into the environment, exposing others-goals of treatment focus on reducing the exposure and individual susceptibility. Although the incidence of C. diff is stable, recurrence is increasing significantly, with severe complications also a concern. The increased incidence and potential for life-threatening conditions require reducing initial exposure, supporting prescribed treatment, and preventing recurrence. C. diff infection can be contracted in health care facilities and in the community. Case managers from nearly all practice settings may encounter patients with the infection. To avert the devastating complications of Clostridioides difficile infection, case managers play an essential role in the prevention of recurrence with education, advocacy of best practices, effective care coordination, and thorough transitions of care. Each recurrence of C. diff infection leaves the patient vulnerable to the potential for surgical intervention, sepsis, and death. Mitigating the risk for readmission and recurrence will enhance C. diff infection care, safety, and outcomes to improve a patient's health care journey and quality of life. Case managers need to take a primary role in the transition and care coordination processes, including patient and support system education, coordination of any postdischarge services, connection to providers, adherence support activities, and follow-up for improvement or changes in condition. Supportive adherence activities and prevention education can result in the avoidance of recurrence. Case managers are well-equipped to locate resources to assist those patients challenged with the cost of medications, inability to attend appointments, or access basic needs. Although not directly related to C. diff, these challenges contribute to recurrence and readmission. Mitigating risk for readmission and recurrence results in an improved quality of life.

GSE Reform Policy Issues

There is a widespread policy consensus that the U.S. government should be playing a smaller role in residential mortgage finance and that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should be wound down and eventually shuttered. But the issue of how extensive the federal government’s role should be—in essence, whether it should have a role in backstopping the bulk of the mortgage market—has eluded consensus, and the post September 2008 status quo has persisted. This panel discussion summary starts with a section by Professor Lawrence White that briefly provides background on this issue; summarizes the current status of the GSEs and the major pieces of legislation that have been introduced in the Congress to address these issues; and offers a set of important questions that ought to be asked about housing and housing finance policy more generally. Adam LaVier starts with some of the current impediments to housing finance policy reform in Washington; poses the question of whether legislative action is necessary; discusses the measures that might move policy forward in the Senate, House, and Obama administration; suggests what the Federal Housing Finance Authority (FHFA) might do in the near term under its new director Mel Watt; and presents four possible end-game scenarios. Then, Laurie Goodman makes a case that while a consensus is slowly emerging on what a future housing finance system ought to look like, GSE reform is a long way off. It is easier to agree on themes and much harder to agree on the specific structural, risk-sharing, and operational details and how to get from here to there. As a result, she considers GSE reform unlikely before the 2016 election. She believes four “plumbing” issues need to be resolved: 1) What does the transition look like? 2) Should insurance be provided by guarantors only or a combination of guarantors and the capital markets? 3) What does the ultimate structure look like? 4) Is mortgage insurance separate from the guarantor function? Finally, Andrew Davidson notes that while a broad consensus is developing that home buyers seeking financing would be best served by a system in which mortgage-backed securities had an explicit government wrap with private capital standing in front of that wrap, there is little consensus on the nature of the entities that would provide the private capital and the role of the government in providing standards and regulating the suppliers of private capital. He thinks cooperatives may be the best form of organization to deliver private capital, stability, standardization, and risk sharing to the mortgage securitization process. The existing GSEs could be transformed into originator-owned cooperatives with little disruption to the mortgage finance system.

The present volume brings together the papers and posters presented at the “Cleaning 2010 International—New Insights into the Cleaning of Paintings” conference that was held at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia in Spain, in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s Museum Conservation Institute. This was the first major international conference on this topic in two decades. The 20 papers and 19 extended abstracts presented at the conference are included in this publication, grouped into four main categories: Ethics, Aesthetics, Training, and Documentation; Traditional Media: Egg Tempera and Oil; Modern Paints; and Cleaning systems. Within each category, the papers and extended abstracts are grouped by the specific topic they address tomake it easier for the reader to find all related material in one section. A summary of panel discussions held at the end of the conference has also been included. All papers and abstracts included in this publication have been peer reviewed. The aim of the conference was to provide a knowledge exchange forum and to produce a publication that assembles the latest developments in the various studies addressing the problems that affect paintings. These range from normal soiling to removal of aged varnishes, from the effect of solvents on paints to the subsequent changes in their mechanical behavior. The cleaning of unvarnished paintings is one of the most critical issues that was discussed. Finally, different cleaning techniques, such as gels, soaps, enzymes, ionic liquids, and foams, as well as various dry methods and lasers, are discussed in various papers and extended abstracts. Although the conference was organized in Spain, the United States contributed 21% of the contents, followed by Spain and Italy, both with 16%; the United Kingdom and Germany, each with 9%; and Canada, the Netherlands, and Portugal, all with 5%. The rest are individual contributions from Australia, Norway, Switzerland, Poland, and Greece.
