Behavioral Personal Protective Equipment and Staff Safety: A Pilot Study Evaluating Its Impact Among Speech-Language Pathologists
No full textThis retrospective, exploratory pilot study investigated the preliminary effects of a behavioral safety readiness protocol on speech-language pathologist (SLP) physical safety during outpatient care delivered at neurodevelopmental clinics within a single medical center. During the intervention phase, SLPs voluntarily wore Kevlar sleeves during all patient care interactions, tied long hair back, and maintained accessibility of nitrile gloves for use during behavioral escalations. The behavioral safety readiness protocol was reinforced by the safety slogan, “Sleeves On, Hair Back, Gloves in Pocket.” Safety event data from May – June 2023 and 2024 (pre-intervention periods) were compared with data from May – June 2025 (intervention period). Due to a limited number of qualifying incidents across all time periods (n = 4), the pilot study relied on descriptive rather than inferential analysis. Results revealed a minor increase in documented events incidents during the intervention period which included one Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordable event. Although the evidence was insufficient to confirm the effectiveness of the intervention, the findings underscore the necessity for ongoing assessment of behavioral safety readiness protocols that include behavior personal protective equipment (BPPE), to explore their feasibility and potential contributions to SLP physical safety in outpatient care environments
A patient-needs assessment in the management of vestibular schwannoma
No full textBackground: Decision aids have evolved as a tool utilizing evidence-based information to help patients understand treatment options and are nascent in the field of neurotology. Vestibular schwannoma management consists of observation, microsurgery, and / or radiation. A decision aid has the potential to help patients understand treatment options regarding vestibular schwannomas while functioning in a patient-centered environment.
Objective: To conduct a patient needs assessment in the diagnosis and management of vestibular schwannoma to inform draft decision aid development.
Setting and Participants: Eight patients between 45 and 74 years of age who received a diagnosis of a unilateral vestibular schwannoma and received care from a radiation oncologist, neurosurgeon, or otolaryngologist were interviewed.
Results: Five themes were identified: initial health literacy, expanded vestibular schwannoma knowledge, provider influence, sources of information, and additional supports. Interviews revealed participant’s desired vestibular schwannoma information at diagnosis, throughout treatment, and following management.
Conclusions: Understanding patient needs is foundational when providing patient-centered care and in decision aid development. Vestibular schwannoma patients sought information regarding the risks and benefits of management options, sources of support throughout management, and post-management care. This data may be used to develop a draft decision aid for patients who have received a vestibular schwannoma diagnosis
The Modern History of the Basel Problem
No full textThe \emph{Basel problem} refers to the problem of determining a closed form for the infinite series . If we consider what mathematical results have the most peer-reviewed papers devoted to new ways of proving such results, Euler\u27s formula is certainly among the top of such results. This motivates our historical study of peer-reviewed papers based on proofs of Euler\u27s formula, and we introduce what appears to be the most comprehensive and up-to-date and exhaustive catalogue of peer-reviewed, published papers in the 20th and 21st centuries devoted to or mainly concerning proofs of . We show how the modern history of the Basel problem relates to many of Euler\u27s original publications, including E41, E61, E63, E72, E421, and E592, and we categorize modern solutions to the Basel problem according to the techniques involved, and we apply our findings as a basis for our historical arguments and analyses
