Supervision of Supervision: How Many Mirrors Do We Need?

This paper explores the purpose and process of supervision of supervision and considers reservations about its usefulness. Relevant research which might inform the use of supervision of supervision is described and discussed. Three vignettes explore how a relational model of supervision of supervision can support supervisors when the supervision relationship is in trouble; in the examples of group supervision the group dynamics are considered. The three dyads involved in the supervisory chain are discussed in terms of their couple dynamics. The role of holding and containing by both the supervisor and the consultant are discussed.     

Complications and operative spine fusion construct length in Parkinson’s disease: A nationwide population-based analysis

There remains a dearth of information regarding the surgical complications following multilevel spine surgery in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. This retrospective cohort study was performed to address this issue on a nationwide level using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2001 to 2012. More than 25 postoperative variables were analyzed to assess the impact of fusion construct length on each variable. Subsequently, the same analysis was performed on admissions without PD. 4301 PD patients with spine fusion were identified, of whom 934 (21.7%) underwent fusion of at least three levels; the remaining 3367 underwent fusion of 1–2 levels. Patients with 3+ level fusions were more likely to suffer paraplegia (P = .001; OR = 3.0; 95%CI = 1.5–6.1), hematoma/seroma (P = .009; OR = 1.9; 95%CI = 1.2–3.2), IVC filter placement (P = .018; OR = 2.1; 95%CI = 1.1–3.9), RBC transfusion (P < .001; OR = 3.2; 95%CI = 2.7–3.8), PE (P = .027; OR = 4.5; 95%CI = 1.2–16.9), postoperative shock (P = .023; OR = 7.3; 95%CI = 1.3–39.6), ARDS (P < .001; OR = 4.1; 95%CI = 2.7–6.3), VTE (P = .006; OR = 2.6; 95%CI = 1.3–5.4), acute posthemorrhagic anemia (P < .001; OR = 2.0; 95%CI = 1.7–2.4), device-related complications (P < .001; OR = 3.1; 95%CI = 2.3–4.2), and in-hospital mortality (P = .005; OR = 3.4; 95%CI = 1.5–7.4). 3+ level fusions were also more likely to have LOS > 1 week (P < .001; OR = 2.1; 95%CI = 1.8–2.5), and a nonroutine discharge (P = .005; OR = 1.9; 95%CI = 1.4–2.4). 692,173 non-PD patients with spine fusion were identified; 123,964 (17.9%) underwent 3+ level fusion. Differences between 3+ versus 1–2 level fusions were similar to those in PD patient, but unlike PD patients, postoperative infection was significant while in-hospital mortality, PE and VTE were not. Fusion of at least three levels increased morbidity, mortality, and adverse discharge disposition compared with 1–2 level fusions. Nearly 80% of all spine fusions performed in the United States are fewer than three levels. These findings are worth considering during operative decision-making in both PD and non-PD patients.

The Continuing Value of Electron Microscopy in Surgical Pathology

For decades, transmission electron microscopy has played a valuable diagnostic role in surgical pathology. The continuing importance of electron microscopy, however, can be debated, given the major advances that have occurred in immunohistochemistry and other techniques. Electron microscopy retains excellent educational potential and broad research applicability, and it continues to be a necessity for the evaluation of a small subset of surgical pathology cases, such as renal biopsies and cilia specimens. The real controversy, then, centers on the contribution of electron microscopy in the evaluation of neoplasms. The opinion of many experts indicates that electron microscopy is still vital in the diagnostic assessment of some neoplasms, and that both electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry are more powerful when viewed as complementary rather than competitive techniques. For electron microscopy to be used to its potential, however, electron microscopists must function effectively as consultants. When optimally applied, electron microscopy remains an essential diagnostic tool.
