Abstract

Burnout syndrome occurs frequently amongst oncology healthcare workers. It has a detrimental effect on the patient-physician relationship. Little is known about the prevalence and causes of burnout amongst junior doctors in oncology. An anonymous questionnaire was sent out to every medical or radiation oncology or haematology resident in France (n=340). It included: demographical data, burnout level (Maslach Burnout Inventory), sources of stress, sense of equity at work, sources of support, and general health questions. Validated scales were used when available. Two reminder e-mails were sent to increase the response rate. Questionnaires were despatched during Spring 2009. The response rate was 60% (204/340). Emotional exhaustion (EE) and Depersonalisation (DP), the major components of burnout, were reported, respectively, by 26% (n=53) and 35% (n=72) of the residents. Burnout prevalence was 44% (n=89), defined as a severely abnormal level of either EE or DP. Eighteen percent of the residents (n=36) had severely abnormal levels of both EE and DP. The burnout level was not significantly different between the three specialties, but was higher amongst residents who do not feel adequately rewarded for their work (p<0.001).

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
