Approaching physician recruitment systematically.

Abstract

Physician recruitment has become increasingly competitive. Organizations that recruit physicians need to establish a systematic recruitment approach that includes determining the organization's recruitment objectives, using various recruiting sources, assessing the skills and "fit" of all candidates, explaining the benefits to candidates early in the process, checking references carefully, and acting quickly to make an offer. Following a systematic physician recruitment plan can help healthcare organizations hire the best person for the job.

Improved scoring of ligand-protein interactions using OWFEG free energy grids.

A new approach to rapidly score protein-ligand interactions is tested on several protein-ligand systems. Results using this approach - the OWFEG free energy grid - are quite promising and are generally in better agreement with experiment (in some cases much better) than those obtained employing scoring techniques currently in wide use. The OWFEG free energy grid is generated from a one-window free energy perturbation MD simulation (Pearlman, D. A. J. Med. Chem. 1999, 42, 4313-4324). The OWFEG approach is applied to three protein systems: IMPDH, MAP kinase p38, and HIV-1 aspartyl protease. OWFEG scores are compared to experimental K(i) and IC50 data in each case. Empirical scoring functions applied to the same systems for comparison include ChemScore, Piecewise Linear Potential (PLP), and Dock energy score.

Genetic epidemiology of multistage carcinogenesis.

It is commonly believed that cancer is a multistage, polygenic disease. Even though conceptually appealing, the evidence supporting the multistage theory remains limited. Most known tumor suppresser genes are associated with monogenic dominant cancers following a two-hit pathway. We review results from a recent twin study on 90000 individuals that give support to the multistage theory. Statistically significant heritability estimates were shown for cancers of the colorectum (35%), breast (27%), and prostate (42%). These estimates are much higher than those obtained from family studies in which parents and offspring, or sibs are compared. The difference can be accounted for by the involvement of many genes. A polygenic cancer would show small effects in family studies but large effects in twin studies. We present calculations on the decrease in familial risks when the number of genes involved increases or when the penetrance decreases. We test the apparent number of stages involved in the main cancers from the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. The logarithms of the slopes suggest large differences in the apparent numbers of mutations involved in different cancers. The number of mutations required appears to be less in familial breast cancer compared to sporadic breast cancer. Study designs for gene identification should be revised to accommodate polygenic cancers.
