ORGANIZE ME!

Executives routinely dose their organizations with strategic snake oil: discredited nostrums, partial remedies, or untested management miracle cures. In many cases, the facts about what works are out there—so why don’t managers use them?

Interchangeability Interchangeability is defined by statute in the United States to mean that the product may be substituted for the reference product without the intervention of the physician who prescribed the reference product. The legal standard for interchangeability is an additional standard beyond demonstration of biosimilarity. According to guidance issued by the FDA in May 2019, in order for a biological product to be deemed interchangeable, the information submitted must be sufficient to show that: The biological product is biosimilar to the reference product and can be expected to produce the same result as the reference product in any given patient For a biologic product that is administered more than once to an individual, the risk in terms of safety or diminished efficacy of alternating or switching between use of the biological product and the reference product is not greater than the risk of using the reference product without such alternation or switch Substitutions In the United States, although Federal law gives the FDA authority to license biologic products as interchangeable, it is the state laws that govern the substitution of biologics and pharmaceuticals.

Valerie P. Jackson, MD, executive director of the American Board of Radiology (ABR), has announced her decision to retire by July 1, 2020. She assumed the role of executive director in July 2014.

Using the conservation of resources theory and social exchange theory as our conceptual frameworks, the current study examined how employee surface acting relates to their sabotage to customers through the mediating role of emotional exhaustion and explored the moderating roles of coworker exchange (CWX) and leader-member exchange (LMX). We collected two-wave time-lagged data from 540 clinical nurses and found that emotional exhaustion mediated the positive relationship between surface acting and employee sabotage to customers. In addition, we found that CWX buffered the positive effect of surface acting on emotional exhaustion, while LMX buffered the positive effect of emotional exhaustion on employee sabotage to customers, such that the effects were weaker when CWX and LMX were higher, respectively. These findings shed light on the effect of surface acting on employee harmful behaviors, the potential underlying mechanism, and boundary conditions to mitigate the negative consequences of surface acting.

The interactions of properdin with both surface-bound and fluid-phase C3 (the third component of complement) and its activation products have been investigated by using a purified preparation of the ‘native’ form. At physiological ionic strength, a weak interaction with cell-bound C3b (the larger activation fragment of C3) could be demonstrated....
