This scoping review aims to identify interventions used by women for the management of rectal emptying difficulty secondary to obstructive defecation.
Rectal emptying difficulty is typically a symptom of obstructive defecation syndrome. Even though a range of interventions are already available for this condition, this review is necessary to increase understanding of what interventions women find useful and are acceptable for them. This depth of understanding will facilitate the development of a specific care pathway to support women living with rectal emptying difficulty secondary to obstructive defecation syndrome.
This review will consider studies that include adult women (over 18 years of age) living in the community who have experienced difficulty with rectal emptying secondary to obstructive defecation and who have not had surgical intervention. Exclusion criteria include prolapse surgery and surgical techniques, oral laxatives, vaginal pessaries, cognitive impairment, pregnancy, and those residin conducted in English from any time period will be considered for inclusion. The titles and abstracts will then be screened by two independent reviewers for assessment against the inclusion criteria for the review.Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has a worldwide prevalence of 2%-3%. Characterized by the presence of either one or two core symptoms-obsessions and compulsions-it generally runs a chronic course and may cause serious functional impairment. Though previously thought to be of psychogenic origin, the pathophysiology of OCD is now understood to be more complex. A multitude of environmental factors have been shown to contribute to the development of OCD, including infection, neonatal complications, childhood trauma, occurrence of stressful events, and brain injury. It has also been proposed that genetic vulnerability may play a role in OCD pathology, although candidate genes have yet to be identified. Likewise, although it is widely accepted that stress plays a role in OCD pathophysiology, the mechanisms remain unclear. Observations from the clinics indicate that stress may serve as both a triggering and aggravating factor, meaning it can prompt symptoms to appear while also contributing to their exacerbation. Additionally, dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and impaired stress response have been identified in OCD patients. In this review, we analyze the role of stress in the pathophysiology of OCD, complemented by relevant findings from recent animal studies.
This review provides a basic understanding of the calmodulin gene and its role in calcium homeostasis. We outline the functional effects and clinical expression of CALM mutations and review disease expression and management.
Calmodulinopathies are rare life-threatening arrhythmia syndromes affecting young individuals. They are caused by mutations in any of the three genes (CALM 1-3) that encode calmodulin (CaM), a ubiquitously expressed Ca signaling protein with multiple targets that in the heart, modulates several ion channels. Patients express varied phenotypes long QT syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, sudden death, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or mixed disease. This is severe disease. Over half of 2019 International Calmodulin Registry patients experienced recurrent cardiac events despite management strategies that included monotherapy and combination therapy with beta blockers, sodium channel blockers, other antiarrhythmics, sympathetic denervation, and pacing. Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes from patients harboring CALM mutations have provided a platform for better understanding pathogenic mechanisms and avenues for therapy.
Calmodulinopathies are among the more novel inherited arrhythmia syndromes. These are rare but highly lethal diseases with diverse clinical expressions. The practicing electrophysiologist should be aware these conditions, how to recognize them clinically, and understand the challenges in management.

Changing demands in healthcare, new leadership structures and physician preferences on work-life balance have made culture, teamwork and engagement vitally important for the long-term success of medical practices. With recent emphasis placed on culture, teamwork and engagement, leaders have had to acquire management skills that extend beyond the scope of being a successful clinician, educator and researcher.
Over the last two decades, experts throughout the business and medical fields have worked to define culture. Furthermore, these authors have shown that success in businesses is often rooted in a strong organizational culture. Large surveys have confirmed that physicians value culture. They may join or leave a practice based on the culture. Lenalidomide Furthermore, creating, defining and preserving culture requires leaders to be exemplary citizens and to inspire colleagues to be engaged.
Practices and businesses that have been shown to have a strong culture with engaged employees form stronger teams which ultimately confers a competitive advantage. In the current era, culture fit should be considered during any hire. An organization's unique culture actively needs to be taught and cultivated by leaders. Employees will become more engaged and adopt a practice's culture with education and by following the example of others.
