Summary: This study empirically explored the effects of critical delay factors (CDFs) on transnational mega construction project (TMCP) success with the moderating influence of leadership self-efficacy (LSE). The findings revealed a negative relationship between CDFs and TMCP success, with the moderating effect of LSE being positive.

Summary: Access to training and education in novel surgical and medical techniques is challenging in low-and-middle income settings, but video-based education tools can provide cost-effective and sustainable solutions, allowing clinicians in remote areas to develop new skills and improve patient care quality. A successful case in Tanzania showed how a clinician performed a transabdominal cerclage after studying a video developed by our team, resulting in successful pregnancy outcomes for two patients with poor obstetric histories. Video is a versatile medium that should be further integrated into surgical training curricula globally.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel auxiliary loss function mDcA to directly produce calibrated DNN models during training. By using mDcA in conjunction with other task-specific loss functions, training with mDcA leads to better calibrated models in image classification and segmentation tasks, and also performs well under domain shift and imbalanced data.

Summary: This intervention, Leadership Saves Lives, aimed to promote positive change in organisational culture and reduce mortality for patients with acute myocardial infarction across 10 diverse hospitals in the USA. The intervention was developed based on the Assess, Innovate, Develop, Engage, Devolve model, with in-depth descriptions provided for the design and delivery of the three intervention components. This practical description may be useful for healthcare practitioners, researchers, and healthcare professionals committed to understanding complex interventions in healthcare settings.

Summary: This study examined the impact of NFE2L2 mutations on the response to ICIs in NSCLC and other cancers. The results showed that Nrf2-activating mutations were associated with higher tumor mutational burden and shorter overall survival in pan-cancer patients. However, these mutations did not affect the response to ICIs treatment. Patients with NFE2L2 mutations had better objective responses to ICIs in NSCLC and other cancer cohorts.

Summary: Inadequate access to preoperative care is associated with worse short-term and long-term outcomes in clinical stage I NSCLC patients. Patients who adhere to all quality measures have a lower likelihood of postoperative mortality and improved overall survival.
