Summary: Medical error is costly and reducing it is important. One potential source of error is physician cognitive impairment. Assessing and managing this impairment effectively is a difficult problem. Age-based screening is not optimal and neuropsychological assessment should be the gold standard.

Summary: The physician-scientist workforce is increasingly diverse with more women and international graduates. However, physician-scientists, especially those conducting basic science research, are aging and represent a smaller proportion of all principal investigators. Female physician principal investigators are more likely to focus on clinical research rather than basic science research.

Summary: The recent shortage of iohexol has disrupted the pharmaceutical supply chain critical to radiologic imaging and affected the global availability of iodinated contrast media (ICM). This shortage has created a national crisis in radiology departments, hampering their ability to provide contrast-enhanced examinations for patients. This report aims to provide short-term strategies for dealing with the shortage and discuss long-term issues and potential solutions to supply chain problems impacting radiology departments.

Summary: This study proposes a theoretical framework for water shortage probabilities and distributions of a water supply reservoir based on the supply-demand relationship and different future lead times. By analyzing the reservoir's supply capacity, water availability, and random variables such as storage and inflow, the study derives water shortage probabilities and distributions. Using the Nanhua Reservoir as an example, the methodology for constructing water shortage probabilities and distributions for different initial storage amounts in various months for future lead times is illustrated.

Summary: Macau's urban development model relies heavily on sea reclamation and the gaming industry, leading to an over-reliance on short-term migrant workers. To promote sustainable development, cooperation with neighboring mainland cities should be strengthened to reduce the cost of city expansion, attract non-local talent, and diversify the economy.

Summary: The study found that Minnesota physicians have limited access to drug resources, citation databases, systematic reviews, and full-text books and articles, despite their desire to use evidence-based practice to support a culture of safety and patient-centered care. Additionally, the survey revealed that physicians tend to use unreliable sources to support decision-making.

Summary: Despite the repeated calls to reduce gender inequalities in negotiations, there are few effective solutions to address the tendency of women to ask for less than men. This study examines the impact of reminding women of their inferior position in salary negotiations on their intended salary requests. The findings show that any reminder of the gender gap leads women to intend to request more, while men's intended requests vary depending on the context.
