Summary: As sales function evolves, organizations are investing in sales enablement to support salespeople by aligning resources across different functions and levels. This study examines how sales enablement is defined and deployed within a single firm through a case study involving in-depth interviews. The findings show that sales enablement is crucial for organizational success, but stakeholders have different understandings of it. Different hierarchy levels and functions exhibit distinct perspectives on and understandings of sales enablement, which may affect its deployment and lead to suboptimal outcomes. Ideas for future research and managerial implications are provided.

Summary: This study investigated the variations in general characteristics, interventions, and outcomes of COVID-19 patients admitted to ICUs within one region in Western Europe. The results showed significant differences in ICU mortality rates and the use of interventions among the three countries. Differences in healthcare systems' organization and ICU capacity, combined with the rapidly spreading pandemic, may contribute to the observed variations.

Summary: This study examines the influence of cultural factors on the effects of age, biological sex, and political beliefs on pandemic outcomes in a multi-national sample. The findings reveal similarities across cultures, but these effects are generally qualified by culture-specific variance. The study also suggests that cultural differences are consistent with models of pre-existing inequalities and socioecological stressors exacerbating the effects of the pandemic.

Summary: As the global population ages, the burden of valvular heart disease has increased substantially, affecting a larger proportion of women. While rheumatic valve disease is declining in high-income countries, age-related degenerative causes are on the rise. Calcific aortic stenosis and degenerative mitral regurgitation significantly affect elderly women, especially those with comorbidities. Women with valvular heart disease have been underrepresented in important research studies, leading to delayed surgical referrals and poorer postoperative outcomes compared to men. Recent efforts to include women in research and clinical trials have provided valuable insights into sex-based differences in epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment options, outcomes, and prognosis.
