This study examines the occurrence of resisting arrest in 1,108 police-citizen arrest encounters at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in midtown Manhattan between July 1, 1990, and June 30, 1991. The study utilizes the Logit regression procedure to identify factors related to resisting arrest. The most powerful of all the factors tested was arrestee disrespect towards the police officer. Other arrestee factors that were found to be positively related to resisting arrest were the presence of other arrestee violence (besides resisting arrest), arrestee intoxication, and the seriousness of the crime charged. Of more than 30 police officer factors tested, only two attitudinal factors were found to be related to resisting arrest: Desiring to remain a police officer was negatively related, and believing that the law governing the use of force is overly restrictive of the police was positively related. Among the situational factors tested, arrests initiated by police officers were found to be positively related to resisting arrest. The results suggest that police officers may play a smaller role in the occurrence of resisting arrest than had been thought. The implication of this finding is that future researchers should devote greater attention to the role of the arrestee in police-citizen violence.

Introduction: HER2 mutations occur in 1-3% of lung adenocarcinomas. With increasing use of next-generation sequencing at diagnosis, more patients with HER2-mutant tumors are presenting for treatment. Few data are available to describe the clinical course and outcomes of these patients when treated with afatinib, a pan-HER inhibitor. Methods:We identified patients with metastatic or recurrent HER2-mutant lung adenocarcinomas treated with afatinib among 7 institutions across Europe, Australia, and North America between 2009 and 2017. We determined the partial response rate to afatinib, types of HER2 mutations, duration of response, time on treatment, and survival.

Background: Supine or prone positioning of the patient on the gantry table is the current standard of care for CT-guided lung biopsy; positioning biopsy side down was hypothesized to be associated with lower pneumothorax rate.Purpose: To assess the effect of positioning patients biopsy side down during CT-guided lung biopsy on the incidence of pneumothorax, chest drain placement, and hemoptysis. Materials and Methods:This retrospective study was performed between January 2013 and December 2016 in a tertiary referral oncology center. Patients undergoing CT-guided lung biopsy were either positioned in (a) the standard prone or supine position or (b) the lateral decubitus position with the biopsy side down. The relationship between patient position and pneumothorax, drain placement, and hemoptysis was assessed by using multivariable logistic regression models.Results: A total of 373 consecutive patients (mean age 6 standard deviation, 68 years 6 10), including 196 women and 177 men, were included in the study. Among these patients, 184 were positioned either prone or supine depending on the most direct path to the lesion and 189 were positioned biopsy side down. Pneumothorax occurred in 50 of 184 (27.2%) patients who were positioned either prone or supine and in 20 of 189 (10.6%) patients who were positioned biopsy side down (P , .001). Drain placement was required in 10 of 184 (5.4%) patients who were positioned either prone or supine and in eight of 189 (4.2%) patients who were positioned biopsy side down (P = .54). Hemoptysis occurred in 19 of 184 (10.3%) patients who were positioned prone or supine and in 10 of 189 (5.3%) patients who were positioned biopsy side down (P = .07). Prone or supine patient position (P = .001, odds ratio [OR] = 2.7 [95% confidence interval {CI}: 1.4, 4.9]), emphysema along the needle path (P = .02, OR = 2.1 [95% CI: 1.1, 4.0]), and lesion size (P = .02, OR = 1.0 [95% CI: 0.9, 1.0]) were independent risk factors for developing pneumothorax. Conclusion:Positioning a patient biopsy side down for percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy reduced the incidence of pneumothorax compared with the supine or prone position.
