    Abstract Introduction Burnout among physicians has reached an epidemic level, with substantially higher rates among women. In this brief report, the authors evaluate recent literature to identify major factors leading to gender differences in physician burnout. Methods The authors review data on gender within each of the key drivers of burnout, including workload and job demands, efficiency and resources, control and flexibility, organizational culture and values, social support and community at work, work-life integration, and meaning at work. Results Women physicians face a higher workload, spending more time in electronic health records, and more time per patient. Women physicians also receive fewer resources and report less control over their workload and schedules. Organizational culture factors, such as a lack of women in leadership roles, compensation disparities, lower rates of career advancement and academic promotion, as well as gender bias, microaggressions, and harassment, also play a key role in gender disparities in burnout. Disproportionate responsibilities outside of work, including childcare and elder care, contribute to less satisfaction with work-life integration. Additionally, women physicians report lower self-compassion and perceived appreciation. These factors ultimately lead to decreased professional fulfillment and higher burnout rates among women physicians. Finally, the authors present proposals to address each of these factors at an organizational level, to effectively address the high burnout rate among women physicians. Conclusion Burnout among women physicians is substantially higher compared to men and stems from multiple factors. It is crucial for organizations to evaluate the gender differences within each burnout driver and develop sustainable strategies to reduce disparities.

    Abstract Physical examination (PE) of arteriovenous access remains of high clinical value and continues to be recommended by leading societies and guidelines. PE is easy to learn and perform. Once learned, examiners can provide a comprehensive arteriovenous (AV) access examination in 20 to 30 seconds. Therefore, we continue to advocate that AV access PE should be part of the training for all dialysis care providers. Similarly, ultrasound can provide important AV access evaluation and provide key information. It is relatively cheap and can be readily available at the bed side. Additionally, it is well accepted by patients, as it is not expected to be associated with pain or discomfort during the examination. We present in this review the key components of PE, signs and symptoms of AV access dysfunction, and the role of ultrasound in AV access evaluation as a complementary tool to PE.

    Abstract Hand ischemia is a relatively common complication of hemodialysis arteriovenous (AV) access. Clinical manifestations frequently start with pale and cold ipsilateral hand. Symptoms can progress to pain during dialysis and can eventually lead to tissue necrosis and gangrene if not addressed in a timely fashion. Comprehensive physical examination of the hand, AV access, and comparing it with the contralateral hand will assist in differentiating hand ischemia from carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis of the hand, and others. There are several treatment options for hand ischemia based on the severity of symptoms. Conservative management with careful monitoring can be applied in early stages. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, a full arteriogram of the ipsilateral extremity should be performed to evaluate for the presence of arterial stenosis. Angioplasty of the arterial stenosis, if present, will frequently lead to the resolution of symptoms. There are several percutaneous and surgical treatment options for hand ischemia, if no arterial stenosis was found or angioplasty does not relieve symptoms. We discuss in this article these treatment options in detail. Treatment goal is to improve hand ischemia symptoms while maintaining hemodialysis AV access and preserving patient's hand. Access ligation remains a treatment of last resort.

    Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, progressive degenerative whole joint disease that affects the articular cartilage, subchondral bone, ligaments, capsule, and synovium. While it is still believed to be a mechanically driven disease, the role of underlying co-existing inflammatory processes and mediators in the onset of OA and its progression is now more appreciated. Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a subtype of OA that occurs secondary to traumatic joint insults and is widely used in pre-clinical models to help understand OA in general. There is an urgent need to develop new treatments as the global burden is considerable and expanding. In this review, we focus on the recent pharmacological advances in the treatment of OA and summarize the most significant promising agents based on their molecular effects. Those are classified here into broad categories: anti-inflammatory, modulation of the activity of matrix metalloproteases, anabolic, and unconventional pleiotropic agents. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the pharmacological advances in each of these areas and highlight future insights and directions in the OA field.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics and treatment options of proximal humerus fractures at a level one trauma center and to compare our data with the current literature.
    Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on all patients diagnosed and treated for proximal humerus fractures at Hamad General Hospital, a level one trauma center, between January 2018 and December 2019. Age, gender, mechanism of injury, fracture classification, mode of treatment, implant type, length of hospital stay, associated injuries and complications were analyzed.
    Results: A total of 190 patients with a mean age of 52.4 years were included; 56.8% were males. The incidence of proximal humerus fracture was 4.1/100,000 per year. Falling from a standing height was the most common cause of injury (50.5%). Additionally, Neer's two-part fracture was found to be the most common type (n = 132, 69%). Forty-one patients (21.3%) had other associated injuries. Most fractures were treated nonoperatively with an arm sling (n = 138, 72.6%).
    Conclusion: In summary, the incidence of proximal humerus fractures during the two-year study period was found to be 4.1 per 100,000 persons per year. Our results showed a lower incidence of proximal humerus fractures with a predominance of males and younger patients in Qatar's population compared to females and older patients in the developed countries. Our results may contribute to the development of effective strategies for preventing and treating proximal humerus fractures, and can provide important data for further high-level clinical research.

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to determine the incidence of pelvic ring fractures and their associated epidemiological profile in Qatar.
    Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed at the only level I trauma centre in Qatar for patients diagnosed with pelvic ring fractures between January 2016 and December 2018. Age, sex, mechanism of injury, fracture classification and associated characteristics, mode of treatment, associated nerve injuries, and other complications were analyzed.
    Results: A total of 327 consecutive patients were included, with an average age of 32.6 years. Most of the included patients were males, 85% (279), with a male: female ratio of 6:1. The incidence of pelvic fractures was 3.887/100,000 across the three years. High-speed motor vehicle collisions (MVC) were the most common mechanism of injury (108, 33%), followed by falling from height (105, 32%). Young-Burgess lateral compression (LC) fracture type was the most frequent (224, 68.5%) and was associated with 25% of the entire mortalities. Nine (2.8%) cases were open fractures, and 12% (39) were deemed unstable. Around 29% of cases had associated injuries, with an overall mortality rate of 4.9% (16) observed. Most fractures were treated nonoperatively(n = 283,86.5%).
    Conclusion: This study demonstrated the epidemiology of pelvic fractures in Qatar. MVC and work-related injuries were predominant in a younger cohort compared to the literature. Also, the mortality rate was lower than those reported in the literature. Therefore, well-trained surgeons and specialized trauma centres for treating these injuries are recommended.
