This paper reports on a collaborative digital arts project conducted with LGBT youth and seniors in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, funded by the B.C. Council to Reduce Elder Abuse and conducted by faculty members and a doctoral student from Simon Fraser University. In the project, youth and seniors worked together to produce the first Canadian materials on LGBT elder abuse—three digital videos and five informational posters. We report on the methods used to produce and disseminate the materials, and as we reflect on the project’s outcomes, we consider both the challenges and potential of

Summer camps in Canada provide services to hundreds of thousands of youth each year, giving opportunities for growth and development. However, summer camps in Canada remain understudied. Using one phase of data from the Canadian Summer Camps Research Project (CSCRP), analysis was conducted on the effect of camper self-concept on their environmental awareness, mediated by perceived level of social inclusion. A relationship between camper self-concept and environmental awareness existed, and that relationship was enhanced when campers were socially included. These findings show preliminary conne

On the Canadian Prairies, First Nations and Métis peoples are disproportionately affected by tuberculosis (TB) compared to other Canadians.

Despite awareness of the social determinants of TB transmission—such as substance abuse, comorbidities, and basic needs being unmet—transmission and outbreaks continue to occur among Aboriginal people. The Determinants of Tuberculosis Transmission project is a mixed methods, interdisciplinary study that used quantitative questionnaires and qualitative interviews to look more closely

Abstract Background Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common and widespread nutritional deficiency in both developing and developed countries (WHO, 2001; Mei et al., 2011). Women of child bearing age are at the highest risk, but this risk increases even more during pregnancy. The expansion of blood volume, growth of the fetus and placenta increase demand for iron to approximately 5.0mg/day by the third trimester (Met et al., 2011). Common symptoms of ID during pregnancy include fatigue, shortness of breath, and difficulty concentrating (WHO, 2001). Poor prenatal iron status is associated with d

Abstract:

A theoretical model for managers responding to a morally challenging situation is developed in the article. This model explores and examines how managers deal with paradoxes created by ethical dilemmas. To explain their strategy, the authors’ model combines a moral philosophy approach – existentialism ‒ with paradox theories. Starting with an emblematic situation such as a dilemma, the lens of Smith and Tushman’s Paradoxical Cognition is used to develop the theoretical construct. Then, with the help of Sartre’s ethics of freedom, two stages that managers pass through to find a solution are exp

Abstract Elder mistreatment, often understood in the context of abuse and neglect, is a growing concern for the health and wellbeing of seniors and their families. A 2015 Canadian prevalence study by the National Initiative for the Care of the Elderly (NICE) found that seniors who are mistreated are more willing to talk to other seniors, rather than clinicians, police or family. However, a lack of knowledge, access to resources, and community stigma may limit seniors’ abilities to address mistreatment.This study evaluated the impact on knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours of having seniors del

Abstract:

Over 8 million Canadians provide care to chronically ill or disabled family members. While most caregivers are between the ages of 45 and 54 (24%) and 55 and 64 years (20%), the third largest group is young carers. Carers between the ages of 15 and 24 account for 15% of all caregivers in Canada. This group of carers are those under the age of 25 that provide significant and ongoing unpaid care to a family member or friend. However, despite these known figures, very little attention has been paid to the existence of young carers in Canada except for scant emerging research. Our two-phased study

Abstract:

Global anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and hazardous air pollutants have produced broad yet regionally disparate changes in climatic conditions and pollutant deposition in the Canadian boreal zone (the boreal). Adapting boreal resource management to atmospheric change requires a holistic understanding and awareness of the ongoing and future responses of terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems in this vast, heterogeneous landscape. To integrate existing knowledge of and generate new insights from the broad-scale impacts of atmospheric change, we first describe historical and present t

Background Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common and widespread nutritional deficiency in both developing and developed countries (Mei et al., 2011; World Health Organization, 2001). Women of childbearing potential are at highest risk of ID due to regular menstrual losses as well as the increased iron demands of pregnancy and lactation (Lynch, 2011; McMahon, 2010). During pregnancy, the risk for ID and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) increases due to the additional iron requirements to support expansion of blood volume/red cell mass and growth of the fetus and placenta (McMahon, 2010; Mei et al

Abstract Background Canadian paediatric residents provide care to many families with non-English or French language preferences (NEFLP). Lack of communication in a family’s preferred language is inequitable and results in inferior care. Professional medical interpreters offer a route to enhanced understanding and safety. There is no data available about Canadian paediatric residents’ use of interpreters, making it difficult to identify gaps in practice or develop targeted interventions to improve patient experience.

Somewhat like digital narratives, video testimonies created within the social marketing or fundraising campaigns of government agencies and private or public corporations aim to reduce the stigma of mental illness while supporting research and services.

The purpose of this project was to reduce radiation exposure and ED length of stay by using the CCHR to decrease unnecessary CT scans in adults with TBI. Cost of care was also estimated.

Abstract Introduction: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare disease caused by mutations that impair formation of GPI anchors. Absence of GPI-linked molecules CD55 and CD59 renders blood cells sensitive to complement-mediated damage. The classic presentation includes intravascular hemolysis, thrombophilia, and marrow failure. Other symptoms, such as fatigue, dysphagia, and abdominal pain may also occur. Eculizumab inhibits complement protein C5 and has drastically improved outcomes in PNH. Despite greater awareness of PNH since eculizumab's approval, it remains a rare disease and
