Despite some research-led teaching relying heavily on an individual’s research, we find very few impact cases studies from the United Kingdom’s research excellence framework 2014 which use this mechanism for impact. This article questions this absence, identifies problems and challenges of ignoring it and suggests recognising students as research translators to create change. Using research excellence framework 2014 as a case, we define research-led teaching and use Boyer’s scholarship of application as our pedagogical base arguing that ignoring this impact pathway is unjustifiable, demotivating and a missed opportunity which underrepresents the impact of management research. The article provokes new thinking on research-led teaching impact for faculty, research managers, universities and international impact assessment organisations.

Introduction: “Stroke codes” (SCs) facilitate the timely treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with IV tPA or intra-arterial thrombectomy (IAT), but are inherently resource-intensive and can expose patients to unnecessary and potentially harmful interventions. While all healthcare providers are encouraged to activate SCs, this might lead to low SC-to-treatment-ratios (SCTR). We examined the impact of de-escalation of stroke codes (DSCs) on SCTR. Methods: DSCs were initiated in our institution in January 2015. All DSCs were reviewed for the patient’s eligibility for IV tPA or IAT, and reason for de-escalation. We reviewed all stroke codes 12 months before and after the initiation of this process and compared the SCTR by chi-squared testing. Results: In 2014, prior to DSCs, 253 SCs resulted in 22 AIS interventions (22 IV tPA) for a SCTR of 8.7%. In 2015, 348 SCs were activated with 64 subsequent DSCs (18.4%) and 45 AIS interventions (38 IV tPA, 7 IAT, 7 both), for a SCTR of 15.8%. The improvement in SCTR after introducing DSCs was statistically significant (p=0.012). When restricting the analysis to IV tPA interventions alone, there remained a trend (p=0.068) towards improvement in SCTR. Retrospective chart review did not reveal any DSC cases that resulted in missed opportunity for IV TPA or IAT treatment. No DSCs were due to an acute ICH. Justifications for de-escalations are summarized in figure 1. Conclusions: The introduction of DSCs resulted in a statistically significant absolute improvement in SCTR of 7.1%. Importantly, DSCs did not result in any eligible AIS patient forgoing IV tPA or IAT, nor missed ICH. More research is needed to increase the yield of stroke codes, refine the criteria for both activating and de-escalating them, and quantify the resource and cost implications of such de-escalations.

Objective. To determine the community-wide incidence of missed opportunities to vaccinate, to describe the clinical settings in which they occur, and to estimate the impact of missed opportunities on immunization coverage. Design and Methods. We abstracted outpatient medical records from a random, community-based sample of 2-year-old children whose residence was inner-city Baltimore. The date of each vaccine and the date, diagnoses, and temperature at each visit were collected for 502 children at 98 different provider sites. Main Outcome Measures. Missed opportunities to vaccinate and up-to-date vaccination status. Results. By 24 months of age, 75% of the children had at least one missed opportunity and only 55% were up-to-date for the 4:3:1 series. Missed opportunities occurred at more than one third of eligible visits for each vaccine, including >20% of preventive care visits. Diagnoses commonly associated with missed opportunities were "well child," otitis media, upper respiratory infection, gastroenteritis, skin infection, and resolving illness. If no missed opportunities had occurred, 73% of the children would have been up-to-date by 24 months. Conclusions. Missed opportunities occurred commonly at providers serving inner-city children in Baltimore and represent a major factor in underimmunization. Reduction of missed opportunities by accurate screening at all visits and adherence to the contraindication guidelines is a provider-based, low-cost method to increase immunization coverage.

Drawing on both documentation and extensive interviews with key industry and policy players, this chapter analyses the role that the transition to digital played in both the policy thinking and interventional practice of the UKFC. It examines the origins, development and impact of the Digital Screen Network (DSN), which became one of the flagship digital policy initiatives of the UKFC. It documents the conflicting industry views around the impact of the DSN on the UK film distribution sector and highlights the policy complexities that digital posed for the UKFC during its lifetime.

This article focuses on recent revisionist scholarship demonstrating that China's maritime history in the period 1500 to 1630 is no longer a case of ‘missed opportunity’, a viewpoint fostered by earlier writing dominated by state-centric and land-focused models. To challenge this perspective, this study first reviews analyses demonstrating the far-reaching commercial networks between Ming China and localities in Southeast and Northeast Asia, and then considers the impact of the metaphor of Fernand Braudel's ‘Asian Mediterranean’ and his ideas about ‘world economy’ on the study of East Asian seafaring history. Secondly, this investigation reveals the dimensions of Chinese trade networks which the mid-Ming government officially sanctioned, as well as the extent to which literati from the southern provinces challenged the state's involvement in overseas commerce of trade and exchange. Finally, the article assesses how modern historians have studied late Ming maritime defense policies as security along the littoral lapsed.

Abstract Background Early detecting hydatidiform mole in missed abortion is challenge. In this retrospective observational study, we analysed the sensitivity of detecting hydatidiform mole by pre-evacuation ultrasound examination or naked eye after surgical uterine evacuation in missed abortion. Methods Data on 577 cases with histologically confirmed hydatidiform mole were collected over a 10-year period and analysed. Data included serum β-hCG level before surgical evacuation, the ultrasound examination findings, histology findings and naked eye findings. In addition, serum β-hCG level on 2398 cases without hydatidiform mole was also collected. Results The median maternal age was 29 (range, 17–53) years and the range of gestational age was 6 to 12 weeks. The sensitivity of detecting hydatidiform mole by ultrasound examination or by naked eye was 25% or 60% respectively. This sensitivity was not increased by the combination of ultrasound and naked eye. There was no difference in the sensitivity of detecting subtypes of hydatidiform mole. The higher β-hCG level was seen in cases with hydatidiform mole, compared to cases without hydatidiform mole. However, there was a lot of overlap in the distributions of β-hCG between the two groups. Conclusions In this study, we found lower sensitivity of detecting hydatidiform mole by ultrasound in missed abortion. β-hCG level was higher in hydatidiform mole than in non- hydatidiform mole in missed abortion. Although higher sensitivity of detecting hydatidiform mole is seen by naked eye (60%), in order to minimise missed opportunity of detecting hydatidiform mole, our study suggests that routine histopathological examination is necessary in missed abortion.

Missed Opportunity

This chapter analyzes the impact of online news on news reporting. In the first decade of the 2000s, the “what” in accident, crime, employment, and political stories first began reporting more events in stories, reversing decades of declines. But by 2010, the references to current events within stories had declined to the levels of the 1990s, with political stories concentrating even more than other topics on a single current event. The changes in the “what” echo earlier patterns of modern news, when practitioners responded to then-new technologies by reverting to established ways. Online, the news outlets again moved together, a pattern that suggests a missed opportunity. News practice might have escaped from conventional constraints, pushing to a linked perspective on what happens. The general public was using interconnectivity to cope with the flow of information in the new century, a third of them sharing news stories on social media, half relying on word of mouth, and more than three-quarters using email links. Instead of finding ways to stay in tune with public habits, news practitioners pushed back, closing ranks around modern truth.
