Recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have highlighted the importance of human factors in complex trauma management. A reorganisation of trauma services in England has led to the creation of Major Trauma Centres and Major Trauma Collaboratives, with dedicated Trauma Teams. Much attention has been devoted to the role of team leader and leadership skills, with the human factor concept of followership largely overlooked. This article examines the importance of followership in the trauma team, scrutinising several different followership styles. Followership should be highlighted during trauma team training, promoting the practice of good followership to support the team leader and improve patient care.

Introduction: Trauma training is an important part of medical and surgical education.Evaluation of training is an essential part of medical education. A formal valid assessmentmethod for trauma training is not available. The purpose of this study is to establish a formaland scientifically-based Trauma Team Leader Evaluation Tool.Methods and Results: A literature review was conducted on the assessment of traumateam leaders. The available published studies were reviewed and assessed, as well asreferences on the principles and practice of assessment methods used in medical education.Input on points of assessment was obtained from trauma team leaders at the HamiltonGeneral Hospital. An evaluation form was formulated with five domains, each containing fiveitems. Definitions of the domains and items were clarified and attached to the form. The formwas reviewed and revised by trauma team leaders of adult trauma and education leadersin pediatric trauma at Hamilton General Hospital and Health Science Education ProgramMcMaster University and then finalized based on the discussed suggestions.Conclusions: Assessment of trauma team leader performance is an important part oftrauma training and feedback. Developing an assessment tool involves a comprehensiveprocess that needs review, input, and participation from various sources related to trauma.More work to validate the tool will be needed to evaluate its utility.

Head, Neck and Dental Emergencies is a welcome addition to the popular pocket reference Oxford paperback series. The Second Edition is a revised and upgraded version of the original which was published in 2005. As is evident from the title, the genre revolves explicitly around trauma and other critical conditions involving the major organs residing above the collar bone. The book imparts an in-depth view into the medical and dental aspects of emergencies encountered primarily in the Oral and Maxillofacial setting. The editor, Dr. Mike Perry, is a consultant Maxillofacial Surgeon and Trauma team leader at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire, United Kingdom, who, along with a handful of noteworthy contributors, aptly bestow extensive expertise throughout the course of the book.

Over the last 30 years the role of monoclonal antibodies in therapeutics has increased enormously, revolutionizing treatment in most medical specialties, including neurology. Monoclonal antibodies are key therapeutic agents for several neurological conditions with diverse pathophysiological mechanisms, including multiple sclerosis, migraines and neuromuscular disease. In addition, a great number of monoclonal antibodies against several targets are being investigated for many more neurological diseases, which reflects our advances in understanding the pathogenesis of these diseases. Untangling the molecular mechanisms of disease allows monoclonal antibodies to block disease pathways accurately and efficiently with exceptional target specificity, minimizing non-specific effects. On the other hand, accumulating experience shows that monoclonal antibodies may carry class-specific and target-associated risks. This article provides an overview of different types of monoclonal antibodies and their characteristics and reviews monoclonal antibodies currently in use or under development for neurological disease.

PURPOSE: Telehealth services have been touted to improve access to specialty pediatric care. COVID-19 accelerated the adoption of telehealth across many medical specialties. The purpose of this study was to examine telehealth utilization and satisfaction among pediatric physiatrists. METHODS: Using Google Forms, a voluntary survey was created and administered to pediatric physiatrists. The survey collected information on practice setting, telehealth utilization, provider satisfaction, perceived satisfaction of patients and families, and the anticipated role of telehealth in pediatric rehabilitation going forward. RESULTS: Seventy-eight respondents completed the survey. There was a significant reported increase in telehealth utilization since COVID-19 from 14.5% to 97.4%. Eighty-two percent of participants reported feeling comfortable utilizing telehealth, 77% felt confident in the quality of the care provided, and 91% believed patients were satisfied with telehealth visits. Responses indicate that telehealth is expected to play a role in future pediatric physiatry and interest in telehealth continuing medical education is prevalent. Most pediatric physiatrists plan to continue or expand telehealth offerings after COVID-19. CONCLUSION: Telehealth adoption has been expedited by COVID-19. Physician interest in and satisfaction with telehealth is high. Patient and family perceptions, outcomes of care, and barriers to implementation limiting program expansion deserve further study.
