6. Culturally Conscious Organizations: A Conceptual Framework

Author

Smith, Paula M.

Abstract

This article addresses workplace culture in academic libraries as an aspect of organizational success in achieving on-the-job diversity. It introduces a conceptual framework in the form of selected indicators as measurements of cultural integration in the workplace. Characteristics of organizational cultural health are also identified in order to direct an organization toward greater inclusiveness. The emphasis is on academic libraries, but the concept and content are applicable to information centers and libraries of all types. (Contains 1 table and 47 notes.)

Abstract

Background: The adoption of spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) for malignant disease such as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) has been controversial. The objective of the current study was to assess the impact of SPDP on outcomes of patients with pNETs. Methods: Patients undergoing a distal pancreatectomy for pNET between 2002 and 2016 were identified in the US Neuroendocrine Tumor Study Group database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing SPDP versus distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy (DPS). Results: Among 621 patients, 103 patients (16.6%) underwent an SPDP. Patients who underwent SPDP were more likely to have lower BMI (median, 27.5 [IQR 24.0–31.2] vs. 28.7 [IQR 25.7–33.6]; p = 0.005) and have undergone minimally invasive surgery (n = 56, 54.4% vs. n = 185, 35.7%; p < 0.001). After PSM, while the median total number of lymph nodes examined among patients who underwent an SPDP was lower compared with DPS (3 [IQR 1–8] vs. 9 [5–13]; p < 0.001), 5-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were comparable (OS: 96.8 vs. 92.0%, log-rank p = 0.21, RFS: 91.1 vs. 84.7%, log-rank p = 0.93). In addition, patients undergoing SPDP had less intraoperative blood loss (median, 100 mL [IQR 10–250] vs. 150 mL [IQR 100–400]; p = 0.001), lower incidence of serious complications (n = 13, 12.8% vs. n = 28, 27.5%; p = 0.014), and shorter length of stay (median: 5 days [IQR 4–7] vs. 6 days [IQR 5–13]; p = 0.049) compared with patients undergoing DPS. Conclusion: SPDP for pNET was associated with acceptable perioperative and long-term outcomes that were comparable to DPS. SPDP should be considered for patients with pNET. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The focus of this dissertation is examining the impact of Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT), more specifically the “Getting the Love You Want” workshop (GTLYW), on five Black/African American couples’ attachment, interactions, marital satisfaction and communication. This study examines Black couples’ lived experiences through a modified version of a quantitative measure, called the Patient Attachment Client System (PACS), the Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire-Revised (MSQ-R), semi-structured questionnaires to measure qualitative data as well as direct observation of participants’ interactions. PACS analyzes how patients’ in-session discourse enables them to share present experiences and link these processes with their attachment structure. In this view, attachment was assessed by delineating distinctive acts regarding how participants communicated their internal moment- to-moment experiences. Qualitative findings reveal a majority of study participants reported an improvement in their overall ability to communicate with their partner, an increase in their ability to communicate about race and racial distress, and an increase in their understanding and ability to deal with conflict and frustrations as a result of participating in the GTLYW workshop. Qualitative findings also showed that the structure of the Imago couples dialogue itself provided the conditions necessary for secure attachment, as measured utilizing PACS discursive markers, to occur between partners who are attachment figures to each other. Quantitative results in this study revealed that frequency of participants’ secure attachment discursive markers (PACS) increased over the length of the GTLYW workshop, and that the secure attachment discursive markers were highest in the racial distress dialogue. While participation in the GTLYW increased Black couples’ perception of their own marital satisfaction, it provided less strong support for an increase in their perception of their partner’s marital satisfaction. The underestimation of the partner’s view of marital satisfaction might be due to the differences in a subjective post-analysis self/other measure and an in-the-moment dialogic combined view measure. Educational workshops such as GTLYW may be a valuable prevention tool for couples and an efficient adjunct to therapy for clinicians who are trying to help couples struggling to remain in their marital relationship. Implications of the aforementioned findings, study limitations, recommendations and future directions are also discussed.

34. The DLEU2/Mir-15a/Mir-16-1Locus, Commonly Deleted in B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), Controls B-Cell Compartment Expansion and Its Deletion Leads to CLL in Mice

Abstract

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) is derived by the malignant transformation of mature B cells. Approximately 50% of CLL cases have monoallelic or biallelic deletions of the chromosomal region 13q14, suggesting the presence of a tumor suppressor involved in CLL pathogenesis. Similar deletions are associated with lymphoproliferative disorders, such as CD5+monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL), that may predispose to CLL, B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and multiple myeloma. We and others previously identified a minimal deleted region (MDR) at 13q14 which contains:

Abstract

Objective: To determine the prognostic role of metastatic lymph node (LN) number and the minimal number of LNs for optimal staging of patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs)., Background: Prognosis relative to number of LN metastasis (LNM), and minimal number of LNs needed to evaluate for accurate staging, have been poorly defined for pNETs., Methods: Number of LNM and total number of LN evaluated (TNLE) were assessed relative to recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in a multi-institutional database. External validation was performed using Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registry., Results: Among 854 patients who underwent resection, 233 (27.3%) had at least 1 LNM. Patients with 1, 2, or 3 LNM had a comparable worse RFS versus patients with no nodal metastasis (5-year RFS, 1 LNM 65.6%, 2 LNM 68.2%, 3 LNM 63.2% vs 0 LNM 82.6%; all P < 0.001). In contrast, patients with ≥4 LNM (proposed N2) had a worse RFS versus patients who either had 1 to 3 LNM (proposed N1) or node-negative disease (5-year RFS, ≥4 LNM 43.5% vs 1-3 LNM 66.3%, 0 LNM 82.6%; all P < 0.05) [C-statistics area under the curve (AUC) 0.650]. TNLE ≥8 had the highest discriminatory power relative to RFS (AUC 0.713) and OS (AUC 0.726) among patients who had 1 to 3 LNM, and patients who had ≥4 LNM in the multi-institutional and SEER database (n = 2764)., Conclusions: Regional lymphadenectomy of at least 8 lymph nodes was necessary to stage patients accurately. The proposed nodal staging of N0, N1, and N2 optimally staged patients., Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest, (Copyright © 2019 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
