Summary: The frequency of Americans falling behind on their finances is analyzed using the National Financial Well-Being survey. An ordered logit model is proposed to study the impact of individual and household characteristics on this likelihood. The analysis reveals that income, age, education, health, income volatility, saving habits, and financial knowledge significantly contribute to Americans' economic behavior.

Summary: This study is the first to comprehensively examine the well-being of cardiologists and its determinants, including both positive and negative dimensions. A national, multicenter, self-administered web-based questionnaire was conducted to collect data. The study found that workload, work-home interference, and team atmosphere predicted the negative dimensions of well-being, while autonomy predicted cardiologists' professional fulfillment. Physician-patient interactions, person-job fit, and individual resilience affected both dimensions. Dutch cardiologists scored relatively high on professional fulfillment and average on work exhaustion and interpersonal disengagement.

Summary: High expectations have been set for the implementations of health information systems, but nurses have been dissatisfied after implementations of HIS, particularly due to poorly functioning EHRs inducing stress and cognitive workload. Insufficient training on EHR implementations may endanger the well-being of nurses, especially in hospitals. Comprehensive training, easy-to-use systems, and user involvement are recommended for successful implementation.

Summary: The study suggests that residential proximity to greenness has potential mental health benefits, but these benefits vary across different personal and neighborhood-level characteristics, such as gender, age, and urban form. Further research is needed to understand which features of greenness are most relevant to different sub-groups of the population in order to maximize these health benefits.

Summary: COVID-19-related regulations have had an impact on the economy and people's well-being, bringing attention to the issue of inequality. This research examined how restrictive policies, such as lockdowns and social distancing, affected well-being. It found that financial loss, the number of children at home, and the intensity of measures were associated with higher stress. Support for restrictions was lower among those experiencing financial loss and having more children at home, as well as those who accessed COVID-19-related information less frequently and did not self-isolate. Men were generally less supportive of restrictions than women, and support was negatively related to the number of new COVID-19 cases. Lower stress and higher support for restrictions were positively associated with life satisfaction.

Summary: Ischaemic stroke is more frequent than haemorrhagic stroke among patients with chronic kidney disease, but the relative frequency of haemorrhagic stroke seems to increase as kidney function declines. Presence of CKD is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischaemic stroke treated with thrombolysis compared with patients with preserved kidney function.

Summary: This study found that longer QTc intervals are associated with longer recovery time after hemodialysis, independent of serum electrolytes. This suggests a relationship between a patient's underlying arrhythmic status and time to recovery after hemodialysis.

Summary: Despite the potential applications of POCUS in nephrology, its adoption among US nephrologists has been slow. Most nephrology fellows do not receive POCUS training, and the lack of qualified instructors is a major barrier to program development.

Summary: This study examined the association between medical school Scholarly Concentrations (SC) programs and students' specialty choices. The results showed that students' interest in a specialty at baseline and their research productivity with SC mentors were associated with increased odds of entering a related specialty. However, completing an SC project did not increase the odds of matching into that specialty or a higher ranked program.

Summary: Health care providers for patients with CKD need to provide effective counseling on kidney-friendly diets, which are often challenging. Nutrition is often not emphasized enough in medical training. Participating in an experiential educational program on kidney diets can improve knowledge and counseling skills.
