Article Abstract
Objectives: The third annual Cardiovascular Diseases (CV) Fellowship Program Directors (PDs) Survey sought to understand burnout and well-being among CV fellowship PDs.
Background: Physician burnout is a common phenomenon. Data on burnout among cardiologists, specifically CV PDs, remain limited.
Methods: The survey contained 8 questions examining satisfaction, stress, and burnout among CV fellowship PDs. Burnout was defined based on the self-reported presence of ≥1 symptom of burnout, constant feelings of burnout, or complete burnout.
Results: Survey response rate was 57%. Most respondents were men (78%) and 54% represented university-based programs. Eighty percent reported satisfaction with their current job as PD, and 96% identified interactions with fellows as a driver of their satisfaction. Forty-five percent reported feeling a great deal of stress from their job. Stress was higher among women PDs, early-career PDs, and PDs of larger and university-based programs. Twenty-one percent reported some symptoms of burnout, and only 36% reported enjoyment without stress or burnout. Rates of enjoyment without stress or burnout were higher among men and late-career PDs, PDs of smaller programs, and PDs of community-based programs. Seventeen percent of PDs reported a high likelihood of resigning in the next year, of which the most common reason was the tasks of PDs were becoming overwhelming.
Conclusions: Most CV fellowship PDs are satisfied with their position, but stress and burnout remain common. Women PDs, early-career PDs, and PDs of larger, university-based programs demonstrate more adverse markers of well-being. Opportunities exist to support CV fellowship PDs in their critical role.

Background: Historically, cannabis use and cannabis use disorder (CUD) have been more prevalent among males. However, emerging evidence suggests cannabis use may be increasing faster among females in younger age groups. This study characterized changes in female versus male differences in cannabis use and CUD across age groups and time.

A secondary aim was to identify differences in SA between patients with one-time dislocation (OTD) versus recurrent patellar dislocations (RPDs).
Methods: Paediatric patients with a history of PD were retrospectively grouped into those with an OTD versus RPDs.

Although there is growing knowledge surrounding the value of involving patients and families in pediatrics residency training, based on a web-based survey of program directors (PDs) in Departments of Pediatrics across Canada, only 42% reported engaging patients and families in their formal residency curriculum. However, all respondents acknowledged the value of partnering with patients and families. Given this, we developed an educational intervention in partnership with our local Family Advisory Council members, that allows for (a) family voices to be heard and incorporated, and (b) direct interaction and conversation between families and pediatric residents.

Despite growing interest in single-atom catalysts (SACs) for Fenton-like reactions, zinc (Zn)-based SACs remain unexplored due to the inherent inertness of Zn, whose fully occupied 3d electronic configuration limits redox activity. Here, we overcome this limitation by introducing boron (B) atoms to reconfigure the electronic structure of Zn-N coordination sites, yielding an activated catalyst denoted as Zn-NBC. This electronic modulation transforms inert Zn-N sites into catalytically active centers (Zn-NB ), enabling significantly enhanced Fenton-like activity.

Objective: This study examined the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) on negative mood and drinking behaviors, and whether those effects were moderated by levels of perceived discrimination among participants who identify with a racial, ethnic, gender, or sexual identity that is underrepresented in research.
Methods: Participants were either not using cannabis, using cannabis with THC, or using cannabis with CBD and were assessed at baseline, 2 weeks, and 4-weeks following ad libitum use of a legal market cannabis product that was randomly assigned to them. Primary outcomes included scores on the Depression Anxiety Stress (DASS) Scale and number of drinking days.
