Professionalism, golf coaching and a master of science degree
No full textA distinction can be made between 'professionalisation', which is concerned with occupational status and standing, and 'professionalism,' which refers to matters of quality and standards of practice (especially specialized knowledge, ethics and altruism). The purpose of this stimulus article is to present key features of contemporary medical professionalism as a basis for critically reflecting on discourse associated with Tiger Woods' current coach, Sean Foley. It is suggested that that provision of a Master of Science degree in golf teaching/coaching would facilitate the development of 'professionalism' in golf coaches

CERVICAL RIPENING WITH THE FOLEY CATHETER.
No full textObjective: To evaluate maternal and neonatal outcomes in a large series of patients undergoing cervical ripening with a Foley catheter. Methods: The database of the Labor and Delivery Unit of the University of a teaching. hospital in Italy was used to identify consecutive patients with a Bishop score (BS) of 4 or less who underwent pre-induction cervical ripening with a Foley catheter. The main outcome measures were clinical chorioamnionitis, endometritis, and suspected and culture-proven neonatal sepsis. Results: Of 602 women undergoing cervical ripening with a Foley catheter, 160 (26.6%) went into active labor without additional interventions. Oxytocin was administered immediately after removal of the Foley catheter in 188 (31.2%) of the women, and 254 (42.2%) required an application of prostaglandin E2 vaginal get. The cesarean delivery rate was 25.6%. The median time to delivery was 1469 min (range, 94-3350 min). Of the women who gave birth vaginally, 225 (50.2%) were delivered within 24 h. Clinical chorioamnionitis and postpartum endometritis occurred in 3 (0.5%) and 6 (1.0%) of the women, respectively. Neonatal sepsis was suspected in 4 (0.7%) of the newborns but blood culture results were negative in all cases. Conclusion: Transcervical use of the Foley catheter is safe for pre-induction cervical ripening, and the associated risk of maternal or perinatal infections is negligible.

Sesaspis ashei Foley and Ivie 2008, NEW SPECIES
No full textSesaspis ashei Foley and Ivie NEW SPECIES Fig. 18 Diagnosis: This species is closely related to S. doyeni, but can be distinguished from that species by the weakly serrate lateral elytral margin of the declivity, the weak elytral ridge in the 3 rd rather than 5 th interval, shallow dorsal elytral depressions medio-laterally, and a noticeably thicker body – visually the epipleuron is wider than the metepisternum for nearly the entire length. DESCRIPTION (male): Length 17.5–22.5 mm. Black to dark brown; in natural state covered in greasy exudate and environmental debris; cleaned specimens have the cuticle uniformly dark red to black. Dorsal vestiture of very short bristle-like setae slightly expanded, secondary vestiture of short golden setae. Anterior clypeal margin weakly concave. Antennomere 3 approximately 1.25 X longer than 4; antennomeres 1–6 with short dense golden setae on apical margin. Labium with thin fringe of setae. Pronotum with weak arcuate lateral ridges; lateral margin smooth; hind angles obtusely rounded. Elytral sculpture with weak elevation running nearly entire length in interval 3, slightly more elevated at start of declivity; lateral margin of declivity weakly serrate. Femoral nodules large and distinct on all femora. Ventrites 1–3 flattened medially. Parameres emarginate at apex, sides not strongly projecting forward. Distribution: Known only from the Mexican states of Hidalgo and Puebla. Types: HOLOTYPE: ♂, MEXICO: Hidalgo; 4.4 km N Tlanchinol; Hwy. 105, 8 July 1992; 1420 m, J. S.

All paratypes with blue rectangle label PARATYPE; Sesaspis; ashei; ♂; Foley & Ivie 2007. ETYMOLOGY: This species is named in honor of our friend and colleague, the late Dr. James Stephen “Steve” Ashe, who was the collector of the holotype and a significant number of other Central American Zopherini. Notes: This species is probably the sister species to S. doyeni which is restricted to higher elevations of Nuevo León. The two species are restricted to sky islands in the Sierra Madre Oriental, and are divided by a considerable distance of unsuitable habitat. No biological information is present on the label data. Sesaspis doyeni, the most closely related species, has been reported under the loose bark of dead pine trees (Pinus sp. ) (García-París et al. 2001), and this species probably inhabits a similar high elevation pine-oak forest ecosystem.Published as part of Foley, Ian A. & Ivie, Michael A., 2008, A phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Zopherini with a review of the species and generic classification (Coleoptera: Zopheridae), pp. 1-72 in Zootaxa 1928 (1) on page 35, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1928.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/523072

Sesaspis sylvatica Foley & Ivie 2008, NEW COMBINATION
No full textSesaspis sylvatica (García-París, Coca-Abia, & Parra-Olea) NEW COMBINATION Fig. 29 Nosoderma sylvaticum García-París, Coca-Abia, & Parra-Olea, 2006: 215–230. Diagnosis: The species is closely related to S. lutosa, but can be distinguished from that species by the acutely pointed hind angles of the pronotum, concave anterior clypeal margin, weakly serrate lateral pronotal margin and single dominant nodule expanded along the apex of the elytral suture, compared to the bifid large nodule at the apex in S. lutosa and strongly serrate lateral margin of the pronotum. Description: See García-París et al. (2006). Distribution: Known from the Mexican states of Tamaulipas, Queretaro, and Hidalgo, where the species occurs at elevations between 700–1,400 meters in the Sierra Madre Oriental. Recorded distribution: A summary of the 47 specimens examined is MEXICO: HIDALGO, NUEVO LEON, TAMAULIPAS, QUERETARO. Types: Not examined, holotype in Colección Nacional de Insectos del Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México (García-París et al. 2006). Notes: Sesaspis lutosa apparently replaces S. sylvatica in more southern Mexican locales such as Oaxaca. Three specimens were associated with oak (Quercus sp.) and several others were collected in “mesófilos”, mountain forests or cloud forests (label data).Published as part of Foley, Ian A. & Ivie, Michael A., 2008, A phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Zopherini with a review of the species and generic classification (Coleoptera: Zopheridae), pp. 1-72 in Zootaxa 1928 (1) on page 34, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1928.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/523072
