    Summary: This updated volume provides a guide to the theories and concepts of leadership in surgery. New chapters on team motivation, understanding different healthcare systems, and leadership negotiation are included. Practical management skills are also covered, including how to manage difficult personalities, change management, and conflict resolution techniques. Leadership in Surgery examines the skills and characteristics needed to be a good leader and aims to improve surgical leadership. The book is relevant to both trainees and practicing surgeons.

    The possible difference in conformation between aminoacylated and deacylated tRNA is examined using the optical and photochemical properties of the 4-thiouridine residue of E coli tRNAf(Met). No differences were seen between fMet-tRNAf(Met) and tRNAf(Met) observing the native fluorescence of 4-thiouridine, energy transfer from 4-thiouridine to the bound lanthanide ions, Tb3+ or Eu3+, or the rates of the photochemical cross-linking reaction of 4-thiourdine. While these results do not necessarily mean that there is no conformational difference between the aminoacylated and deacylated species, they do restrict the possible nature and magnitude of any conformational difference between the two species. In addition, preliminary thermal denaturation studies of tRNAf(Met), monitoring 4-thiouridine emission and energy transfer to Tb3+, indicate an unexplained melting phenomenon near 25 degrees C in the presence of Mg2+.
