Examining the Market Orientation-Performance Relationship: A Context-Specific Study

This study developed a comprehensive measure of market orientation and examined the market orientation-performance relationship in the health care industry. A survey of 159 hospitals yielded a strong positive relationship between market orientation and various measures of organizational performance. Additionally, the study found that market turbulence, competitive hostility, and supplier power moderated the market orientation-performance relationship.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/68689/2/10.1177_014920639802400204.pd

Evaluating the Effects of Video Modeling on the Frequency of Staff Use of Socially Embedded Consequences

Previous research reports that individuals working with children with autism can positively affect social behavior through the use of socially embedded consequences. There is no research on training teachers to use socially embedded consequences. The current study had three purposes: to evaluate the effects of video modeling on teachers' embedded consequences, to evaluate the addition of feedback to increase effectiveness, and to evaluate the effects of the teacher's use of socially embedded consequences on other teacher behaviors. Results indicate that video modeling alone was not sufficient in changing teacher behavior and that the addition of feedback was necessary for meaningful teacher behavior change. Additionally, the increased used of socially embedded consequences had positive effects on teacher social engagement and indices of interest. A discussion of the results and suggestions for future research is also provided

The Scanning Of Task Environments In Hospitals: An Empirical Study

The objectives of the paper were to identify the natural taxonomy of hospitals based on their task environmental scanning activities, and to test if scanning practices had any relationship with the overall performance of these hospitals. A cluster analysis yielded for groups of hospitals each of which had distinct scanning characteristics. Results showed significantly different performances across these groups. Hospitals with the most advanced scanning function performed better than hospitals that used less advanced methods to scan the task environment

Delayed diagnosis of a non-communicating right uterine horn: A case report and literature review

Background: Accurate diagnosis of a müllerian anomaly is essential for appropriate management and prevention of complications. However, diagnosis is often missed or delayed. Case: This is a case of a nulliparous woman with a müllerian anomaly diagnosed at the age of 36 despite prior evaluation with ultrasound and laparoscopy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested a unicornuate uterus with a right non-communicating rudimentary horn. Hysteroscopy and chromopertubation confirmed the diagnosis. The rudimentary horn was resected laparoscopically using bipolar energy. Conclusion: An undiagnosed müllerian anomaly should be considered in the setting of persistent dysmenorrhea. Three-dimensional ultrasound or MRI should be used judiciously in patients with refractory dysmenorrhea or when ultrasound raises concern for a müllerian anomaly

Differential effects of NOX2 and NOX4 inhibition after rodent spinal cord injury.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a contributing factor to impaired function and pathology after spinal cord injury (SCI). The NADPH oxidase (NOX) enzyme is a key source of ROS; there are several NOX family members, including NOX2 and NOX4, that may play a role in ROS production after SCI. Previously, we showed that a temporary inhibition of NOX2 by intrathecal administration of gp91ds-tat immediately after injury improved recovery in a mouse SCI model. However, chronic inflammation was not affected by this single acute treatment, and other NOX family members were not assessed. Therefore, we aimed to explore the effect of genetic knockout (KO) of NOX2 or acute inhibition of NOX4 with GKT137831. A moderate SCI contusion injury was performed in 3 month old NOX2 KO and wild-type (WT) mice, who received no treatment or GKT137831/vehicle 30 minutes post-injury. Motor function was assessed using the Basso Mouse Scale (BMS), followed by evaluation of inflammation and oxidative stress markers. NOX2 KO mice, but not GKT137831 treated mice, demonstrated significantly improved BMS scores at 7, 14, and 28 days post injury (DPI) in comparison to WT mice. However, both NOX2 KO and GKT137831 significantly reduced ROS production and oxidative stress markers. Furthermore, a shift in microglial activation toward a more neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory state was observed in KO mice at 7 DPI and a reduction of microglial markers at 28 days. While acute alterations in inflammation were noted with GKT137831 administration, this was not sustained through 28 days. In vitro analysis also showed that while GKT137831 reduced ROS production by microglia, it did not translate to changes in pro-inflammatory marker expression within these cells. These data demonstrate that NOX2 and NOX4 play a role in post-injury ROS, but a single dose of NOX4 inhibitor fails to enhance long-term recovery
